i have always had this affinity for granny clothes especially those that come with a gartered waist and electric pleats. i always get overly excited when i see electric pleats and the science behind creating those stunning folds never ceases to amaze me. so when i saw this dress at PHP 50.00 ($1.20), i was immensely elated and couldn’t believe what a steal it was. the dress is pleated, polka dotted and has scalloped sleeves — just my cup of tea.
wearing granny clothes can easily lean both ways, looking juvenile like a 13-year old girl or looking well, like a grandma. so i had my dad cut 2 inches off the hem to make the dress more modern. the only regret? he cut it too short because i measured it too short — i was bending when i made the cutting mark! LOL. so to style a granny dress more youthfully, i layered on a chunky necklace and studded belt, added gazillions of bangles and a pair of chunky rings to create that extra jingle, topped the outfit with a bowler hat and let my hair down. voila! juvenile and granny no more. what do you guys think? would you wear granny clothes?
super cute hat and i loooove those rings! xoxo, laura
bongga ang rings! love the dress!

Wow, your necklace is so unique! Jealous! But yeah, the vintage-inspired dresses I choose are apparently “granny-style” to my fiancé, so I guess I would wear that!

i have a thing for granny style too but i agree with you… i always wonder whenever i do granny style, whether ill look childish or an old lady. the challenge is always finding a balance… you look great altho i cant see your dress short actually… prolly cos ur sitting down. but still u look great!
i love that giant angel wing ring !!
