Get ready to be transported to a beautiful Tuscan landscape in the heart of Italy…
Actually, it’s just little ole’ Hamilton in New Zealand, approximately 18,000km away from Tuscany!

The Pretty Dress Company has just released a beautiful new print called Vintage Rose in several different styles, and Elizabeth J Pin Up and I were lucky enough to get to shoot it for them!
We decided to road trip down to the Hamilton Gardens to utilize the beautiful themed spaces, and boy-oh-boy was it worth it! Don’t these just look like I’m right bang in the middle of Italy? It’s pretty magical!
I’m going to be blogging 4 different styles in the Vintage Rose print and thought I’d start with an old favourite – the Tilly Prom Dress! The Tilly has a glamourous and dramatic off the shoulder neckline, big bows on the shoulders, full skirt with pleats, full lining, pockets and in-built petticoat.

The Tilly quickly became my favourite dress from The Pretty Dress Company since getting to model other colourways last year. I’m a huge fan of the sass that a off the shoulder style gives, and I think that the bows are the absolute perfect touch!
The Vintage Rose print is a beautiful classic floral, that you can either dress-up like I have in full pinup, or a more simple look with minimal accessories to let the dress speak for itself.
I wear a size 8 in The Pretty Dress Company and the Tilly fits me perfectly. If I was wanting to be really picky, then I could do with a slightly smaller waist, but I do like my dresses to be ultra fitted.
The Tilly Prom Dress is £185 (you WILL see the quality that you are paying for!) and comes in sizes 8 – 18.

Such a gorgeous dress, accessories and location. I visited Hamilton gardens a couple of years ago, when I came over to New Zealand from Australia and I loved taking photos and exploring the gardens! 🙂
