Instead of making one from scratch, I found a collar on a vintage 80s dress but I didnt have the heart to destroy one vintage dress for the sake of another
Absolutely lovely dress and is a Vikings dress for Halloween coming up, I get a little bit excited about it, no who am I kidding, a lot
The sweetheart neckline, intricate beading, and high split create a glamorous, sophisticated look
