Have you ever owned an item of clothing you would like to live in 24hrs a day? Well to me The Dita Cardigan is it!

Dita Rose Cardigan - Black & Red $190.00AU

The fit :

Soft stretch cotton knit is so perfect on my skin, it is a snug by very comfortable fit.

The sleeves are accommodating for my upper arms which is brilliant and the form fit of the garment makes any issues you have with your upper arm disappear!

The detail :

Absolutely divine! The embroidered flowers, the peter pan collar, delicate pressed contrast trip satin, velvet buttons and necktie, everything is so lush!

I'm wearing this with 4 of the tops buttons undone to create a keyhole look like on the website.

The length is matches perfectly with all high waist items and can be worn over or under a pencils skirt etc though it is a little short (due to my ample bust) to wear with jeans or lower hip garments.

I am wearing this in a size 4 which is an Australian size 14 due to the stretch in the garment it will fit anywhere from a size 14-16 Australian. If you have a smaller bust you as a larger 16 you might have even more luck! There is heaps of stretch in this garment its amazing! Be sure to check my measurements to the right of the page to see how this fits my shape.

Now I know that I will have lots of luck with the knitwear section of the site and I have my eye on these!

But if you can't fit into the standard sizing don't give up! Wheels baby doll have the cutest rockabilly/pinup and vintage inspired accessories.

The amazing images shot to show off this beautiful garment were taken by the amazingly talented Jaimie Nichole Imagery from Melbourne, Australia. Her work is brilliant, she has an amazing eye for beauty and knows how to create sizzling pinup images!


Thank you to the amazing Berlin Bar for letting us use their brilliant location as a backdrop for this shoot. I've fallen head over heels for this delicious bar. With a brilliantly styled theme running through out (hence the name) they have a mixture of styles. With lush couches and chandeliers in one room then a bunker themed space with bunk beds, bathtub tables and amazing imagery. If you are in Melbourne and you are looking to check out one of the funkiest bars in the CBD you must go to Berlin Bar! Located at 16 Corrs Lane, Melbourne.

Dita tweeted a link to her cardigan this morning and like the crazed fan girl I am I clicked on it, and...

 

OH MY GOD!!

 

I'm in love! I love the peach and black one so much! But alas, I don't have $190 just lying around :(

It's beautiful, but $190 is a little steep for a cardigan. However, if I had the extra cash, I'd totally get it.
