Silver Cat Tea Party: Bettie Page Captain dress

I've been haunting ebay again.

I don't know if I've just been getting lucky lately with my ebay finds or if it's just that hard stalking pays off. In the last few months I have been able to acquire some seriously cute things from Bettie Page Clothing A.K.A. Tatyana at great prices. Here are my latest finds!

The Matilda Dress by Bettie Page Clothing

The Matilda Dress is definitely an oldie but goodie! I remember back before I ever made my first Bettie Page purchase, looking through their online catalog at all their beautiful designs, and seeing this dress. I would swoon over these dresses for months, imagining how awesome it would be to go out wearing one of these dresses, but not daring to take the plunge to buy one. I remember how classic and iconically 50's all their dresses were back then. I wish they would bring back some of their older designs. Until then, there is always ebay and also, it is nice to see that there are some staples they stock even from past years.

The Matilda dress comes in a caramel colored tan. This wiggle dress features an off centered faux button panel at the bodice, cuffed pointed sleeves at the arms, pointed collar, dainty neck bow, and a self fabric belt. To ensure a great fit, this dress has plenty of stretch, a back zip, and back slit for easy movement at the bottom of the skirt.

The Micky Dress by Tatyana

The Micky dress is one of Tatyana's newer dresses. I believe this dress was just released this past spring/summer. This dress is an easy to wear cotton/spandex dress which features black and white stripes at contrasting angles, two white buttons at the neckline, a unique turned over collar, cute capped sleeves, back zip, and ruffles at the bottom of the skirt. I love the detail of the collar in the back which makes a sort of peter pan collar. This dress is so unbelievably comfortable to wear! I'm sure it will be one of my new favorites for next summer when the weather starts to turn warm again.

The Captain Dress by Bettie Page

The Captain dress is perhaps one of Bettie Page's / Tatyana's most iconic and recognizable dresses. This is one of their classic designs that has endured and has long stayed a staple on their website. This dress, which is also available as a pencil style, features a wide sailor inspired collar trimmed in white satin, it has sleeves, and also features a double breasted bodice. As with the Micky dress, I love the back collar detail, the shape of which reminds me of Madeline, the little French girl in the yellow hat! It is supposed to come with a white belt but since I picked this up on ebay for a bargain price I'm not too upset that the belt didn't come with it especially since I can easily take a white belt off of one of my other dresses. :)
