There's No Use Crying Over Blue Dresses.



I love this dress. It's from Dewberry Vintage on etsy (which I haven't ordered from yet because I am decrepit and poor--not to mention dramatic--but I love it to bits). I saw this dress a few weeks ago, and have been close to tears every time I go through my etsy faves and see it. I would buy it in a heartbeat, if only it fit! Oh my waist, how you betray me. If I thought I could without busting into internal tears I would write a poem to this dress, and it would know we were meant to be. Someone should purchase it immedietly and end my suffering (because it is not practical for a girl pinching her pennies to buy a dress just to hang it on a wall and worship it). Plus, it's called the Alice in Wonderland Dress. My heart, it beats wildly!

You are perhaps the sweetest thing ever! Thank you so much for your adoring words and eternal worship of my little blue dress xoxo McCall

I had to remove that dress from my favorites because I'd kept looking at it, forgetting it was too small, and become depressed all over again.

aw, that's a lovely dress. I have an etsy wish list 12 miles long that just languishes while my bank account mocks me with its own tiny measurements (!)

I feel betrayed by my hips usually, not my waist, but I do feel your pain.

Oh, I have been looking at this dress too, I just wish it wasn't impossibly small! Sigh!

Laura Gerencser said...

Helen said...

oh god a 22 waist?! i hate vintage clothing for that sometimes, they never fit me either. it's so lovely.

Eyeliah SS said...

I go though this often being a larger size, I am dying for anything Gunne but can never fit the measurements. Don't be sad, another dress will be along to knock your socks off in a minute!

If you had the pennies to spend I don't think it would be at all eccentric to buy and hang on the wall because it is a work of art.

Aargh it's perfect.

Mr. Condescending said...

that dress looks awesome, and im a guy I even like how it looks!

Mars said...

I favorited it too, and I am first of all too poor to buy it, and second it's about 2397237 sizes too small! But you have to just to peek at it every now and then, right?

Anyway, cheer up! I try to tell myself these things just aren't meant to be and you'll find something great sooner or later :D!

Amelia said...

That is the prettiest little dress! I adore the detail. Don't feel bad, though--22 inches is tiny tiny tiny.

Hannah said...

I saw this dress a while back too and also cringed at the waist size, such a shame!

Diary of a Young Designer said...

It is indeed a beautiful dress. I usually have the same problem, I'm pretty short and most vintage dresses I've found are a size medium not a small, so that deprives me from buying them.

Such a beautiful dress!

Tara Diane said...

I get so sad when amazing vintage finds don't fit me (though it is usually my bust the betrays me). There are other fish in the sea!

aubrey said...

Hannah said...

That's on my favourites, too...and it would fit but I haven't the money right now! I want it so!

I also find and buy clothes that are too small or too big. Ah, consignment stores! I enjoy your writings and am now following your blog. Please don't be afraid.

Robin said...

Ah, that dress is perfect.
I'd have to do some worshiping of my own.

The dress is very beautiful! I understand your pain, but I'm sure you'll find one similar or that you'll like more than that one in the future :D
