Thrifted vintage black velvet dress, leather purse

Vintage leather loafers, gift from my sister
More un-February-like weather today, which sadly kills Neil's hopes of a late season wintery storm (his heart is breaking over lack of snow). We took advantage of the afternoon by visiting Belle Meade Plantation and drinking some of their super sweet wine, and I wore this - a vintage black velvet mini dress I found while thrifting last week. It has the best contrast collar and cuffs made from sheer white chiffon. It also happens to be super short, though.. trying to think up creative ways to make it longer without changing its simple shape.

beautiful outfit! so simple and polished- and your hair looks so pretty:)
sheer cuffs and collar= heaven.
Aw, I love it! You could always sew something along the bottom to add length - maybe a panel of matching chiffon, or even get more black velvet and break up the seam with an insert of chiffon or lace or black velvet pintucks (so it looks intentional, instead of really obvious that you added fabric to the bottom).
Or you could give it to me. I love wearing dresses that my butt hangs out of lololol :)
And tell Neil I said NO SNOW. Spring weather now, please!
Cute outfit!
My fiance Derek is sad that it hasn't really snowed this year too. I on the other hand have enjoyed this mild winter weather. I'm really excited for spring. :)
Lovely pictures!
You look beyond precious.
Love,

Please post if you come up with an idea to lengthen the dress - I have a killer red shift that is a little too short for comfort and would love to fix it up so it gets the wear that it deserves.
Darling dress, and I love that messy braid! I can never seem to pull if of like I'd like to.
Do post if you figure out a way to lengthen the dress!

you look adorable in velvet. I am almost always too scared to try it myself, i do not know why!!

This velvet dress is so cute. I love the simplicity of this outfit. Your hair looks great too!
That dress is just gorgeous! I love the chiffon of the collar and cuffs. It just gives it such a different, special touch... and what a treat of indulgent fabrics! It is rather short though, I can see why you're unsure about that! (Not that you can't get away with it!) Good luck with the lengthening process.
love your dress, You look pretty

That outfit is just gorgeous! I really like the chiffon of the receiver and cuffs. It just gives it such a different, unique touching... and what a cure of indulgent fabrics! It is rather brief though, I can see why you're uncertain about that! (Not that

I really like it! You could always sew something along the end to add size - maybe a section of related chiffon, or even get more dark-colored purple velvety and crack up the joint with an place of chiffon or tie or dark-colored purple velvety pintucks
