At the Curvy Couture Roadshow Markets I visited the Marji & Jean stall to check out their handmade garments that are all made from original patterns from the 1950s and 1960s, that have been altered to fit a range of modern figures.
There was such a fabulous range of patterns to choose from, each unique dress is made from new materials in retro inspired fabrics.
I picked up this gem and thought it would go perfectly at a picnic. {which is this weeks Aussie Curves theme}
And whilst I wasn’t attending a picnic when these photos were taken, I had a furry admirer who just wouldn’t leave my side.
To accentuate my waist I added a leather wrap belt. I’m generally a size 16-18 however I’m wearing a size 20 dress to accommodate my large bust. It was still a little tight on my bust but bearable to wear.
Styling wise I like to keep things simple. White heels, round white earrings and a simple white clutch.
Realistically I’d wear flats to a picnic. I just couldn’t resist wearing my sexy Wayne Cooper shoes.

So cute and stylish Sam! And I love your touch of adding the belt. Definitely going to have to check out Marji & Jean, such a great idea using vintage patterns with modern fabrics.
You look adorable on that outfit, and the shoes just makes it even better!!!
