The "Lily Dress" from Adhesif's Spring 2011 Collection

This popular and oh so lovely one of a kind "Lily Dress" is part of our Spring-Summer 2011 collection.
This dress design is the perfect "transitional" frock as it is made from a cotton twill and is perfect for layering.

 

This dress can easily be worn from a warmer season into cooler months, when layered with tights, a fitted blazer and some vintage granny boots. 

The body, contrast and pocket lining are made from vintage and reclaimed printed cotton and the sweet pleated detail is also a reclaimed cotton.

 

This design has side pockets and it comes with it's own wrap belt. Perhaps put a twist on the design by throwing on a vintage wrap belt of your own.

The waist is elasticized so the dress is super comfortable and relaxed but still fitted so it's very flattering in the right places.

Being that every piece we create is one of a kind and thus retains a personality all it's own, we have a variety of fun & quirky combinations as well as more subtle & pretty combo's like the below for example...

The coveted "Lily Dress" comes in s/m (sizes 4-8) and m/l (sizes 10-12) and can be found at our flagship location (2202 Main Street at 6th Ave) or visit our "Etsy" shop page for more info!

Memories of Adhesif's F/W 11 Collection at Eco Fashion Week Vancouver

Well seeing as how it's been a week today since Adhesif's Fall-Winter 2011 collection debut at Eco Fashion week we thought it would be fitting to show you some of what our girls were struttin' on the catwalk... 

Some behind the scenes shots of the clothing eagerly awaiting showtime.

 I scoured over 16 different vintage shops to find these vintage boots ! I even ordered a couple pairs on-line and had a few pals lend me theirs! I did all this as well as create all of the pieces for the show in less than 3 weeks! Talk about pressure or what?

I had a lot of fun styling for this collection. I used vintage fur hats and cable knit tights as well as necklaces by Darwin Jewellry and belts by Cokluch and Patina. All items can be found in our shop at 2202 Main street.
