Yes, ma'am - albeit in UK sizing (here I'm wearing a UK size 10/US size 6), I did go with my usual and it worked fabulously. Save for the length being shorter than expected based on the photos of this dress being modeled on Alice's Pig's site, the fit was very true and I couldn't be more pleased with it (I belted to further define my waist, not because it was too big or otherwise ill fitting). <br /><br />Many thanks again & have a great week,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-3959611569999991152015-06-18T08:51:46.296-07:002015-06-18T08:51:46.296-07:00I love this look!

I was looking at the sizing chart for Alice's Pig and it seems a whole size or two larger than normal- did you find you wear the same size as you normally do in this dress?

If memory serves me well, I was feeling precisely both of those things that day - especially happy, because we weren't freezing our tails off during a photo shoot for one of the first time in ages and also because of this elegantly gorgeous dress itself. <br /><br />Orange does not usually work with my colouring in large doses at all, but it's a colour I enjoy (and it's actually Tony's very favourite colour), so I like finding ways to inject hits of like this into the occasional outfit. <br /><br />Thinking of you and wishing you a truly splendid last week of spring, dear Sanne!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-10085749107570975722015-06-15T11:42:05.460-07:002015-06-15T11:42:05.460-07:00Wow, lady, you look really stunning here.

I have never been fond of orange, but more and more smaller orange things have begun sneaking into my life. Funny, how taste changes even when you think it wouldn't. I have to take a look at their page when I open my pc, they have a kind of mobile conversion which I think is not working very well. Congrats on your lovely new dress, dear. Have a great day. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-62338481634774436562015-06-04T17:20:51.330-07:002015-06-04T17:20:51.330-07:00Hi sweet Porcelina, thank you so much!!!

I love this shade of lippy, too. It's been my go-to pink for several years now (pink lipstick can be tricky for me, but deeper roses like this are usually safe) and though it's hard to get in my town, I can usually track it down in the nearby city of Kelowna. If you're not able to find any on your end or online for a good price, let me know and I can happily pick up one for you on this side of the pond.<br /><br />Big hugs & tons of happy start of June wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-4206658634197787232015-06-04T17:17:25.679-07:002015-06-04T17:17:25.679-07:00Thank you sweetly, dear Joanna.

Warm enough to not shake like a leaf, but at the same time, the beaches and such are not usually crowded wall-to-wall with throngs of tourists and locals alike. Up until about late May, depending on the weather, we can usually still get unencumbered shoots in like this. Knowing this area like the back of my hand though, I will confess though, all that said, that I can usually still find private spots in lesser known areas (such as Three Mile Beach in the neighbouring tiny community of Naramata) that are pretty uncrowded even in the summer. The perks of having spent so much time in one part of the world, eh! :)<br /><br />Big hugs & the happiest of wishes for June,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-37299462266516914342015-06-04T06:24:35.045-07:002015-06-04T06:24:35.045-07:00I love it when you photograph near water.
