DADDY ISSUES


RECENTLY OUR DRESSES ARE TAKING ON A LITTLE GIRL-CHILD NOSTALGIA. AS FAR AS WE'RE CONCERNED OUR BAREFOOTED CHILDHOOD NEVER ENDED, OUR FOOTWEAR JUST CHANGED FOR PRACTICAL REASONS OF CITY DWELLING (NOW WE WEAR BOOTS). 
ANYWAY, BACK ON TOPIC: THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA LOLA DRESS. PART OF THE STASH WE FOUND IN AMERICA; THE FABRIC SOMETHING DADDY DESIGNED IN THE 1980'S, THE HEIGHT OF TECHNI COLOUR PREPPY TIME, THE CLAMBAKE AND TOPSIDER SCENE. SO WE MADE THIS LITTLE GIRL DRESS OUT OF DADDY'S FABRIC, AND WE PROBABLY NEED TO LINE UP SOME THERAPY AFTER THIS. OR AT LEAST DELVE INTO THAT WONDERFUL TEXT FOR SOME LIGHT READING. AT ANY RATE, WELCOME LOLA, JOIN THE CLUB.
THE CHERRY ON TOP: A RASPBERRY RIC RAC FINISH.
ABOVE, LATE LAST NIGHT WHEN THIS BABY WAS BORN. WE LIKE THE LOLA WITH THE CLASSIC CAMELIA BLOUSE UNDERNEATH, LIKE A JUMPER. BUT REALLY, WE'D BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND AN ITEM IN OUR CUPBOARD THAT WASN'T ENHANCED BY A SWATH OF HIPPIE SILK CHIFFON. 


DOMINIQUE AS LOLITA; WE COVET HER CROP TOP.

WE'RE OFF TO FIND SOME HEART SHAPED SUNGLASSES AND A LOLLIPOP, SEE YOU LATER GATORS. 


ALIX OF BOHEMIA LOLA DRESS WITH SHOULDER TIES AND RICRAC HEM. SHE'S MADE FROM VINTAGE COTTON MADRAS PLAID DADDY MADE, BUT WE CAN KNOCK HER OUT IN SOMETHING DIFFERENT, IF YOU'RE REALLY INTO HER. GET THE 4-1-1 ON THE LITTLE LADY HERE.
