Deadly Dames 2011 Fall Collection: Ja Ta Dore’ Dress

Deadly Dames Clothing has been described as the brainchild of creative wunderkind Micheline Pitt. Originally created as an edgy line, the new fall designs see a change for immense glamour wrapped in luscious satins, laces and velvets. The bright colours Deadly Dames has been previously known for has been swapped for more subdued hues paired with striking black; designer Micheline Pitt taking inspiration from 1950’s lingerie and historical style icon Marie Antoinette. Here is why you should be just as excited for this line as I am!
7. Originality and limited cliché. Don’t get me wrong, I love cherry prints, gingham, nautical stripes and skulls as much as the next girl. But it is refreshing to see new ideas and new designs involving new fabric compositions.
6. Speaking of fabrics… The satin, lace and velvets featured in this new collection are to die for. The colour palette is similarly divine, full of blushes, champagnes and greens with striking blacks.
5. Also featured is a Glamorous Botanical Print. Fans of the Deadly Dames line were even invited to vote for their favourite colourway option to be added to some dresses, the winner a red and cream rose print on a black background.
4. Emphasis on curves! The Mon Cheri’ dress (featured above left) appears to have pleats stemming from the waist, enhancing the derrière, while the Film Noir dress (not featured) has beautiful drapery over the bust, drawing attention to the neckline and creating the illusion of a fuller bust. It is no secret that designer Micheline Pitt loves curves, and has even admitted to wishing she had more of her own; which is evident in these designs.
3. Something for Everyone. The colours in this collection I can see looking amazing on everyone… There are sleeves, cute bow details, lace, velvet, satin, prints, belts… Even a couple of swing dress options. Everything a girl could ever want.
2. Deadly Dames Classic Fit and Reasonable Price Point. Although the price is unknown as of yet, the most expensive dress from the Deadly Dames collections is $126; the Malibu Tiki Dress in Black Satin. I anticipate that these dresses will be at a slightly higher price point; which considering the construction, fabric quality and customer service, is completely reasonable. Every Deadly Dames item I own fits like a dream. It is nice to have this reliability when ordering online.
1. Sophistication. These dresses just exude complete glamour and sophistication. Once these dresses come out, I dare you to wear one and just tell me that you do not feel like a complete vintage goddess.
This collection will be available from PinUpGirlClothing.com once released. I believe pieces should start hitting the site within the next month or two.
A wardrobe staple for the vintage-inspired lass is a good black skirt. This amazing a-line skirt by Heartbreaker Fashion makes for a fantastic investment, at a reasonable price. This piece would go with a simple gingham shirt, bright red belt and some cute flats for something during the day or a vintage inspired sweater and some pumps for a more classic look.
