Beyond The Veil

La Femme En Noir Corpse Bride Beyond The Veil Dress
 
Any Tim Burton fans read my blog?  As someone who grew up with Tim Burton films, I tend to have a deep feeling of nostalgia when I rewatch them.  Corpse Bride is a hauntingly beautiful tale and my daughter was *obsessed* when she first watched it when she was 3 years old.  I hunted down very old (and sometimes expensive) Corpse Bride merchandise for her because she loved Emily so much.  Luckily, La Femme En Noir has teamed up with Tim Burton's Corpse Bride and created a beautiful collection of clothing and accessories, some of which I now own (and Bianca borrows).

The Beyond the Veil dress is made from a thicker stretch poly blend material and features a v-neckline, billowy sleeves with Victorian cuffs, fitted bodice, an a-line skirt with hidden side pockets, and finished with a matching grommet belt and a back zippered closure.  I'm wearing my usual size small in La Femme En Noir and the small is a perfect fit.  I know lots of customers like to size down when the fabric is stretchy but I would *highly* recommend you take your actual size because the print will distort if it's stretched too much.  The print is my favorite part and I love how they took their time to make sure it looks good on every piece.

I finished my look with the Emily bag and I seriously fell in love with it!  It's so detailed and surprisingly fits everything I need.  Bianca immediately took the Emily bag to her closet so I'm pretty sure that means I need to buy another one.  I'm definitely not going to see it again!

You can shop the entire Corpse Bride collection on the La Femme En Noir website HERE.  Available in sizes XS-4X and featuring everything from a take on Emily's wedding dress to Victor's three piece suit.  You can also add the perfect hair accessories to your Corpse Bride outfit that you won't find anywhere else!  I've already added a few more pieces to my collection which I'll share on my blog later this summer.

Lover Not A Fighter

Sarsparilly Lover Not A Fighter Skirt
 
In my opinion, there are never enough heart prints and the ones I have get wear throughout the entire year!  Sarsparilly's True Love collection is everything a vintage-loving novelty print hoarding person could want.  The Lover Not A Fighter skirt is probably one of my most favorite silhouettes in my skirt collection... and I have a *vast* skirt collection.  It has the perfect amount of volume, doesn't require a crinoline and has a fantastic fit.  Basically, it's perfect!

Brooch- vintage

This amazing skirt is made from a crisp mid-weight cotton sateen and features a full gathered silhouette, deep hidden side pockets, a matching grommet belt with belt loops, and a back zippered closure.  I'm wearing my usual Sarsparilly size XS, which is a size below my usual size small in most other clothing brands.  It's the perfect fit and honestly, it feels like this piece was made for my body.  I love it so much!

The True Love collection has four pieces (two dresses, one skirt and one playsuit) and they're all available in sizes XXS-4X.  This Australian small business ships worldwide and they have some of the best made vintage inspired products out there!  If you have any questions about Sarsparilly leave them in the comments below!
