‘Yes, the backdrop and flash are dire. I do not know how to pose, my bedroom is a sorry place to try and take self-portraits, and I’m using an eight-year-old, point-and-click camera on a self-timer (and even worse, a Samsung Galaxy Y for the shot of my leggings). Oh, and I hid my hair because it’s 10:30pm after a 100-mile round trip commute. But I don’t care - my Beetlejuice dress and leggings by Lady Violet Love arrived from the U.S. today and I am pretty darned happy.
And besides - I’m not going to be able to pull off the look quite like Kassandra Love, but as she’s already demonstrating a newer version of the dress in gobsmacking style anyway, who am I to get in the way?

Thanks, Violet! I hope I get the opportunity to show this dress off properly very soon.
Meanwhile, linkage - because her work is awesome:

‘Stunning dress design by Violet Love. Her work may be new to me, but this has gone straight on the wishlist.’
