party dresses, part 2: realistically

Although my blog post about party dresses yesterday was pretty dreamy, none of those dresses are within my reach. However, I do happen to have a handful of party dresses sitting on my couch right now. These are the 3 lovely dresses that I bought at the estate sale last Friday. I'm in love with parts of each one, but they're still going into my Etsy shop tomorrow. I wasn't going to show them until then, but I'm impatient because they're so cute!!

I love the cut and color of this dress...

..but the 3-tiered puffy sleeves are a bit much!

The aptly named maxi dress. I am 5'6" and standing on my tiptoes.

But isn't it adorable?

Like the Peter Pan collar and the bow-belt...

..but this dress screams "witch costume" to me.

So! They'll all be up for sale tomorrow. I wish I could find more dresses like these that I actually wanted to keep!! I don't own many dresses that stand alone as a good outfit-- most of them have to be layered with something to look nice.
