Busting Out With The Bustle Betty!!!

Hello Kittens,

I have recently become obsessed with a facebook group, Desperately Seeking Trashy Diva, which I found through The Full Figured Chest's blog. The name of the group is pretty self explanatory. It's a facebook group for people looking for and selling their Trashy Diva dresses.

I love that all the ladies in this group are so helpful, so friendly, and love showing off their Trashy Diva dress! I also love that it's a great resource for finding older styles or prints of Trashy Diva dresses. As some of you fans of Trashy Diva might know, once a style sells out from the Trashy Diva website it's usually gone forever (unless you're lucky enough to still find it on another retailers website... though other retailers are rare).

Since I joined I have found two prints I can now add to my collection in the incredible Bustle Betty style.


Dress Review:

I love this 1940's style Bustle Betty dress which is slender without being a wiggle.

This dress features a pointed collar, capped sleeves, flattering darts and pleats all along the bust and torso, a bustle in the back, a slight peplum in the front, and the back of the skirt ends in a slight fish tail.

I first got this dress in the wonderful and fun Mardi Gras print from a seller in the group for a steal! When this dress later popped up in the group in my size in the beautiful Slap and Tickle print I could not let it pass me by!

I love that even though these are the same style dress the Mardi Gras print has a look which is easily dressed up or down while the Slap and Tickle print seems all dressed up!
