When I was but a newbie pinup — when I was tentatively attempting to craft a retro look out of
cheap dancewear circle skirts and still scared of red lipstick — there were 3 dresses I saw in my online wanderings that made me swoon and sigh with want and desire: the Pinup Girl Clothing Monica dress, their Sailor Swing dress, and the Tatyana (then Bettie Page) Alika dress.
