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?

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 !!
