Two weeks ago I had the mind-blowingly good fortune to spend a day travelling on the famous Orient Express with a group of chums. A full post gushing about how wonderful it all was will follow next week, but firstly here is the outfit I wore for the excursion. As you can see I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face all day.
This is one of my favourite vintage dresses. It is by a label called Trevise of Paris and is in a lovely thick black jersey. The best thing about it is the gorgeous folk style embroidery and the fringing at the hem. The thread used for the seams of the dress is quite fragile and I can’t tell you how many times I have had to mend it, but I don’t mind. When you find something that is perfect you are happy to keep on repairing as much as is needed.
Outfit details: 60s vintage dress by Trevise, black fishnet tights, 1950s black broderie anglaise kitten heel shoes, lipstick in Ruby Woo by Mac.
1960s polka dot mod dress by Berketex
1970s green and red tartan knit jumper dress
1960s black and white check blanket dress
1970s floral print hippy smock dress by Emanuelle
May I just say how much I love your hair at the moment. I also love that dress, of course. x
Gorgeous dress and you look amazing as always! Hanging out for more train pics!
I love this dress. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE :)
that looks so fun! your dress is awesome. you look so good.
The fringe on the dress is amazing!
I am green with envy. How come I never get invited to ride the Orient Express? Well, I guess there’s a bit of an ocean in the way… That dress is so fantastic–and a perfect choice for the setting!
Great photos! Great dress! I love how the skirt almost matches the fabric of the train cars seats ;)
I am positively green with envy over your trip on the Orient Express and your fabulous personal style!
You look so cute in that outfit! Gorgeous hair! xx
Yeah. I’m totally not jealous of that dress or anything. Not salivating at all. No. {Lies}
Your hair, your dress, your train. Want want want!
wow, flapper gal!
I saw Charly’s post and was jealous then, and now I’m jealous again! Sounds like such an awesome day. And your hair and outfit are just gorgeous x
You and your dress are just fabulous. What a posh trip out. x
You are so many kinds of fabulous I can’t wrap my mind or dictionary around it. I love the dress your attitude on mending it, and the face you are timelessly gorgeous and relatable at once. Love the pics! More trains (and vintage wearing you) please!
You look gorgeous and like you belong on the Orient Express! Your hair suits you so well, it reminds me of a more glamorous Amelie. I’m looking forward to the post on your experience, I have always wanted to go on the Orient Express. When I was a child my grandma had some awful Reader’s Digest video about the history of the Orient Express and I watched it so many times it stopped working.
How cool would that be? I’m jealous!
Gorgeous dress, wonderful you, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

“Oh I SAY!”, muttered Captain Hastings. “Look at that lovely female specimen, the one with the finely turned ankle”.
“Ohhhh Hastings, it is always with you the pretty girl, but yes, she is a woman of class, just so,” replied Poirot. “You permit me mademoiselle to escort you to the dining car?”
“I must compliment you on the fine needlework of your robe and your deportment, such refinement when so many of the young women look like the garçon.”
xoxoxo

Love you’re dress :)

Oh my, you look incredible! Wow, that setting really suits you, you MUST go on the train more often! I know you went for a 60′s look but with the setting and your fab hair, it totally makes me think of the 20′s! Were there any murders?!
I think I need to go on this train more often too!
This is indeed a beautiful dress! Perfect for the Orient Express
