Pinup Girl Clothing Dress Reviews! Sale On Sales!

So earlier this week I had an Outfit of the Day post featuring my new Pinup Couture Netti dress.

As promised, here is my review of the Pinup Couture Netti dress along with two other dress reviews for dresses I bought from Pinup Girl Clothing during one of their recent sale on sales!


Pinup Couture Netti dress in Squirrel Sateen:
This dress has a super cute and super cool retro atomic style print. Pink and olive green squares are dominate in the print but when you look close you will also see woodland motifs such as branches, leaves, acorns, and little squirrels all over. The Netti dress is a nice summer dress with wide contrasting black shoulder straps and a black band at the top of the bust. The black contrasting band at the top of the bust is scalloped and finished in a pink serged-stitch which matches with the pink on the dress. This dress comes with a contrasting black slide belt. This dress is fitted on top and has a very full skirt. It has a side zip which is not my favorite but for the overall beautiful and awesome look of the dress, who's complaining really?!

Pinup Couture Heidi dress in Birdcage Print:
I was surprised to find that the Heidi dress in Birdcage Print fit a little big in the bust. I don't know if sizing down would help since that would make the waist really tight on me but in any case, it is a really cute dress with a really cute print which I got at an awesome price so in my eyes it's not that much of a problem. This dress is made of gray material with a birdcage print all over. The birdcages are black with some pink and a little bit of white. Like the squirrel print, the birdcage print has a definite retro feel. This dress has an angular neckline that has a sweetheart shape. The bust is ruched. The straps on this dress are extra wide, almost like little sleeves and are wide at the top by the shoulders and get narrower closer to the bust where they are also ruched. This dress is fitted at the bust and has a nice flared full skirt. It also comes with a black slide belt and has black trim along the neckline and shoulders. This dress has a back zip.

Pinup Couture Annalise dress in Black with Pink Tipsy Elephants:
While the Heidi fit slightly large, the Annalise dress fit very tight! This dress is made of a stretchy polyester, rayon, spandex blend so I'm guessing from their choice in material that this small fit was intentional as they possibly mean for this dress to be very fitted on top?

The Annalise is a black dress with one embroidered pink elephant at the top right shoulder and two embroidered pink elephants at the bottom left hip. These are not your average pink elephants though! They are very tipsy looking elephants dancing around martini glasses with bubbles floating around them! I loved these elephants from the first moment I saw them. They reminded me of Dumbo during the scene when the mouse fell into the barrel of ale and saw all the elephants dancing around. Ah, good memories of fun cartoons! Pinup Girl Clothing also makes an all over print with these elephants which I'm so happy to see back in stock on some of their dresses!

The bust on this dress is very similar to the bust in on the Heidi though there are definite differences. This dress has a curved princess neckline and wide straps which are more like little capped sleeves. Like the Heidi, the sleeves on this dress in narrower by the top of the bust and get wider at the top of the shoulders. This dress has a very fitted top and a nicely flared full skirt. The medium to heavy thickness of the material of this dress helps keep the shape of the skirt. This dress also comes with a contrasting pink slide belt and has a back zip.

I bought all three dresses in my usual size large which I have found can usually either fit a little large or just right in Pinup Girl Clothing dresses. In this case, I had a wide range of fits from just right, too large, and too small-- though in all cases if it was too large or too small it was just slightly so and probably would not warrant getting another size. For reference my measurements are 39"-31"-39 and I am 5'3".

Outfit of the Day: Squirrels!

What's cracking kittens?

Last weekend I went out with my two best lady geology friends for a bit of brunch in Berkeley. Brunch was good but the company was better. There was good weather too, so it was nice to sit outside in the sun while taking in my lemon gingerbread pancakes and decaf coffee. Sadly, we've only been averaging seeing each other about once a year but hopefully our plan to meet up in December will work out and it won't be another year before we see each other again.

Outfit of the Day:

For today's outing I brought out my brand new Pinup Couture Netti dress in the squirrel print sateen. Keep an out out for the full review later this week-- it will be a three dress review on some dresses I recently picked up on Pinup Girl Clothing's sale on sale!

As usual I paired this with a cardigan, this one a pink one from Target, as well as my trusty black flats from Gap Outlet.
