We should have another Friday Fashionista today but I thought we'd have a giveaway instead. I know it's going to be pretty quiet in blog land while many of our favorite bloggers and darling readers are shopping, dancing and having an amazing time at Viva Las Vegas. This little momma is not at Viva (and maybe a -little- envious of those that are) so I thought that us wallflowers should have some fun too!
Here's the "Not at Viva" Giveaway for all of the girls stuck at home
Today's giveaway comes from Jenni, owner of Jack's Daughter, maker of fabulous vintage reproduction clothing and accessories. Jenni started out making dance outfits for her and her husband and now sews vintage reproductions for her etsy shop every day! Jenni often uses authentic vintage fabrics in her work. These are some of Jenni's past designs.
The Prize
Dress from Jack's Daughter- This pin-up perfect dress was handmade using vintage red dotted swiss fabric. The dress can be worn strapless (bodice has boning) or with the removable black halter tie, which buttons into the inside of the bodice. The dress zips up the back and comes with a matching black and red belt. Measurements
bust 39 inches
waist 33 inches
hip- free
length from back zip to hem 28 inches
pictured with petticoat
3 polka dot hair bows from Jack's Daughter- in black, purple and coral (pictured) to go with your lovely new dress

Besides gearing up for Easter on Sunday, I'm experimenting with different sets and pulling out my Spring/Summer wardrobe to see what I need. I'd rather be at VLV!
ReplyDeleteInstead of whooping it up a Viva, I'm busy unpacking my house from moving and working at my new job! But I maaaay go shopping this weekend to take the edge off my jealousy.
ReplyDeletePS I shared this on Facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat, a giveaway in my size? Yay! I will be reading tweets from my friends who are at Viva, feeling MEGA jealous and doing some gardening and working.
ReplyDeleteps: I actually follow you on Reader, but I've gone ahead and followed you through google too in case Reader doesn't count. And I hope you're bearing up under the not-at-Viva-pain as well!
ReplyDeleteFabulous dress! Instead of going to Viva I'm taking care of my two kids (which is also fun, most of the time)! Liz
ReplyDeleteI am writing my Bachlor- Thesis right now... but having a break right now :)reading Blogs, browsing FB and answering mails. But I need to go back to work now.

ReplyDeleteOoh, that dress is to die for! I've been meaning to try that color combo for a while now... Thanks to both of you for offering such a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOh, oops, duh, forgot the rest. While I wish I was in Vegas right now instead of norway where it's SNOWINg again, I'm home instead planning to catch up on some much needed sewing that I've neglected for pattern drafting.
ReplyDeleteI went to VIVA last year and had a blast! But this year I stayed behind because in 3 weeks I'm getting married so
ReplyDeleteI'm working on that this weekend. I did however already book 2013 rooms as not to miss it again :) love your blog! -Liz G-

I'm not a viva because i only have a one other close friend who is into the rockabilly vintage seen and she hates shopping and crowds (not that i love crowds) lol but none of my other friends have any interest in going .....maybe next year i'll go solo <3
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Viva and don't know if I will ever go. If I take any trips in the next couple of years my Hubby and I plan to go to Japan. (I want to go to Hello Kitty Land) *lol*
ReplyDeleteAll those dresses pictured are so pretty! My fave has to be that tube dress.
Instead of going to Viva this year, I'm spending a quiet weekend with my hubby-to-be (Friday, EEEEK) and my baby girl. It's her first Easter! (shared on FB as well. www.facebook.com/hodgeskd)
ReplyDeleteMy not Viva weekend is being spent spring cleaning and taking the kids on easter egg hunts.
ReplyDeleteI am cleaning and complimenting little daughters of friends on their pretty Easter dresses.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you do this for us wall-flowers. I am in the middle of Spring cleaning and home renovations, specifically my Disney room. The Mr is off on Monday, so I'll be using that day to tidy, sweep, mop and generally straighten up my little country house.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, doll!
Cheers!
