Chiffon Skull Dress

This past weekend I had a girl's day with my sister-in-law. One of our stops was a boutique called Dallas PinUp. I had heard of it before, but I was skeptical that I would actually find something in my size there. However, that can't further from the truth! I fit into quite a few items, and I ended up buying three dresses. It just goes to show that sizes are arbitrary - try everything on!

Unfortunately, I don't think they have much to accommodate over my size, which is an 18. The employees were super nice and helpful, and if you're ever in the Dallas area, I would definitely suggest checking out Dallas PinUp!

Also, check out this sweet Twin Peaks inspired Laura Palmer necklace! I'm so in love with it. It's from an Etsy shop called malomyzka. I got the 14" ribbon though I kind of wish I got an inch or two longer. Oh well!

  4. Best dress ever! And thanks for pointing me in the direction of saddle shoes- I've been looking at Bass brand for over a month but the reviews saying the soles crack put me off. :-)

  5. love this dress! I'm pretty bust at 46". Do you think the XXL would fit? The site says 40", but I too am an 18...

    1. I'm an 18 with a 46" bust, and it fits me in XXL. However, it doesn't fit like it fits the model on the website. It's more empire waist on me and a tighter fit in the bust rather than a loose one as it shows. Also, the lining is too short to completely cover my butt so I wear it with opaque tights or with tight black shorts.
