You and I all know that Ivalde’s clothing is more versatile than the word vintage implies. Now I won’t say you can wear any Ivalde item anywhere – that would be extreme. For example, I would not wear this dress fishing, but I would wear it dancing at the disco. to a cocktail party, at a fundraising event and to a concert. I could wear it today and change the belt and I could have worn it a decade ago – and that’s what classic means.
In fact, this belt doesn’t even come with the dress, it’s one I snitched from the Ritta dress by Lelutka. A delicate gold metal belt would give this an even dressier look. A big, black punky belt would put this right in the heart of the 80’s and a bright colorful belt would change it again…Classic and versatile. Moreover, you can drop the ruffle and add a shrug if you want to make it good for church on Sunday.
The oh-so-soignee Peta hair from Lelutka and the massive and elegant Pearl Menagerie parure from Paper Couture complete the classically elegant look. Makeup in the subtle, but powerful Gala makeup is the ultimate finishing touch.

I just have to believe that Audrey Hepburn, the epitome of classic and elegance in my book, would have worn this. Excellent.
