I recently acquired, after much lusting, the Bettie Page “lucky Dog” dress. It was from a few seasons ago so it was a little hard to find. I had to order it from the UK, shipping was crazy! But totally worth it!
If you don’t know, Bettie page did a line of dresses based on the artwork of Gil Elvgren. He was a painter and illustrator, best known for his pinup art from the 40s and 50s.
The lucky dog dress was fashioned after this illustration.
It is fabulous and fits like a dream! It also has a Tim Burton, Beetlejuice type vibe that I adore. I was full-on goth at one point, so it tends to creep in to my style now and then, I like to call it psychobilly now 😉
I took my friend to go shopping for her baby shower so I wore black flats, boring I know. I was planning on putting on my Iron Fist Zombie Stompers but decided there was too much walking.
How awesome are these! Next time I wear this dress, I am definitely going to rock these shoes. I wore them the other night, but that’s a different post 🙂
I love this dress, if you can find it anywhere I would recommend to jump on it. I got so many compliments while running around town, 80 year old ladies are my biggest fans!
