Frolicking Frocks

See I have always loved avant garde vintage dresses. I can spend hours finding vintage gems on Ebay purely just to ogle. However these days I found myself wanting to own them despite not having any occasions to wear them to, purely because they’re such inspirational pieces and perhaps one day I shall replicate them in other colours and materials.
