Pink Poodle

I can't believe this is the first time I've featured this dress on my blog!  I've had it for awhile but I've been waiting for the weather to warm up enough to wear it without a cardigan.  I'm always hesitant about dresses with a shelf bust, probably because it's a little more of a risque neckline than I'm used to.  I feel like the pretty pink poodle print balances it out which is why it's still in my closet.  Even though it doesn't make sense, in my mind prints will always win over the cut!

I've been expending my horizons when it comes to petticoats.  I tend to be really picky about them and I enjoy the look of a stiff crinoline.  Unfortunately, I can't walk around comfortably at home with one on.  Either the dishes on my coffee table tumble to the floor or poor Bianca gets knocked over.  I was hesitant to try the canvas underskirt because it's shorter than most petticoats, but I was hopeful because I needed something that was less cumbersome.  This was the first time I had worn it and I was pleasantly surprised.  Even though it's short, it has tiers which prevents that visible harsh line.  It's much easier to walk in and can be worn for a long period of time.  It still doesn't provide the perfect shape of the stiff crinoline, but this is a worthy of everyday wear.

While Amanda of Junebugs and Georgia Peaches and I don't necessarily agree on our favorites, she has a super informative post regarding petticoats and the different types which you can read HERE.  As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments below!
