There is a stellar and comprehensive post on vintage sweater dresses over at Countess de Vintage – we even share some of the same dress picks – her post was done over a year ago and the fact that some of the the dresses haven’t sold yet shows that their time is to truly yet to come - so grab them while you can.  In the next post I’ll offer some ideas on how to wear them now.

Cheers.

Oh, and here’s some advice on how not to “look too fluffy.”  Heavens no.  You don’t want anyone to try and pet you like a cat.
