A New Spin on A Classic Style

I love it when a company takes a great thing and makes it even better.  This Women's Vintage Cloak Two-Piece Cocktail Swing Goth Dress from GownTown Vintage has been one of my favorite styles for several years now, and GownTown has made a few tweaks to this latest version and you can save an extra 15% with my code loveretro now through December 14th.
This newest version of the dress has faux pearl buttons down the front of the cape instead of a single button clasp at the back.  The straps are still adjustable, but now they have also widened the straps.  Additionally they've created a more heart shaped neckline. 
I did two different photo shoots with this dress.  Funny how much difference a week can make in autumn.  The leaves were pretty sparse during the second shoot, but the dress is still pretty.
In the first session I wore vintage undergarments including a bullet bra and girdle.  Also in the first session I wore a hat and gloves to really give this dress the full vintage look.  The second time around I wore my modern bra and decided to forego the hat and gloves but kept the red accent belt, petticoat and shoes.
I can't decided which version I like best; I think they all look amazing.  That's the tell of a really great dress, it works lots of ways.
