I spotted this 50's prom dress at a random vintage store on Sunset Boulevard a long time ago,. I fell in love with it, but the problem was that it was way too big and way too long. I ended up taking it in and making it shorter and now it is easily one of my favorite princess dresses!
Worn with vintage jewelry (love those fancy crystal earrings) and L.A.M.B shoes.

I'm wearing a 50s dress as we speak, and I have another one that I got at a flea market. I adore 50s style, and I really like how you've updated this one without removing its original period charm.
It's beautiful.
And you can never go wrong with pink. ;)
You look so pretty, pretty princesss in this (its a ridiculous game i used to play when i was younger hahah)
i love zebra-ing my nails :)
I seriously just went "ooooooooooh", like at the fireworks. It's such a dream of a dress!
I love how the alterations turned out on this dress. I would have liked to see a before picture, but this will have to suffice.
Such a beautiful dress! You look like a princess.
Awesome manicure too!

That dress is absolutely adorable! Love the shoes too!
I love to see the feminine and slightly romantic side of yours! You look dazzling :)
Still, what I admire is the fact that you never "turn off" the Karla factor, such as the crazy nails, which I adore, or the wall behind you.
Keep up with your good work!
i am in freaking love with your dress, please let it marry me :]
