This is the Deers In The Mist jsk dress from Long Ears & Sharp Ears with a blouse underneath whose label I can't quite read. I'll edit this post if we can find out. Both were a gift from a dear friend💗 The shoes are vintage Swimmer that the previous owner never wore (!!) and I love them dearly although they do need to be worn in. I would love to get a petticoat to make it floofier and start building a collection but luckily the frills and cotton inner layer on this dress make it pretty on its own too. You may be able to see some orangey little dust marks on the dress in these photos but I have since given it some love and it's sparkling clean again💖
