Oh Tiki dresses, how I love you… let me count the ways!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
No, it <\/span>can\u2019t be done! I have skirted around the idea (heh, get it, skirted) of a Tiki dress for the longest time, and then Norma Jean Vintage LLC came, and the rest is, as they say history. And a closet enriched by several Hawaii and Tiki dresses of such design it makes my heart sing every time I look at them! <\/span><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
This dress was tailored especially for me, to suit my measurements and figure, and I could not be happier with it! The fabric does not stretch, and it provides excellent support and structure to enhance the figure. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am also in love with the two-tone ruffle on the hip, as well as the gorgeous colour design which suits my skin perfectly! The ladies at Norma Jean Vintage LLC really know their stuff!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0This dress features a hidden back zipper and a halterneck which ties in the back. I paired this dress with a brooch from one of my favourite jewellery companies, Lady A Broad, featuring Larry Lagoon. <\/span>Their brooches are made from etched wood, and designs on timber with a high gloss finish, and are a unique treasure in my jewellery collection! <\/span><\/div>\n

\n\"\"
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Both the dress and the brooch seemed the perfect b<\/span>ackdrop for the swamp-like setting I chose for this shoot. \u00a0We were very lucky to be able to bring the Swamp Monster Flirt, as I affectionately call this set (and don\u2019t even doubt I have a name for all my sets and shoot ideas) in such a perfect setting, and with such a perfect outfit and accessories.<\/div>\n

\n\"\"
\n<\/span>Until next time!
\n<\/span>XOXO<\/div>\n
