Skirted!

Did you know Hell Bunny now make the most awesome selection of swing/circle skirts? Well they do and they are brilliant. 

Available in an assortment of colours, prints and fabrics these skirts are made of the exact same fabrics that you can find many of their dresses in. 

I wanted to do a  review for you guys to help you get the best size and styles available right now from this rocking range of separates. So the awesome Aaron Widyanto and I packed a car full of Hell Bunny skirts and petticoats and went for a fun little photo shoot. 

Now I'm wearing these styles in 3 different sizes and I will give you the rundown on each. 

Hell Bunny Cannes 50's Skirt - £28.99

Hell Bunny White Petticoat - $49.00

Wheels & Dollbaby Dita Cardigan in Red - $190.00

Luichiny Eye Doll Platforms - $89.99

Belt - Old Torrid sold out. 

This print is perfection. Delicate red roses on a solid white cotton fabric, paired perfectly with my Dita Cardigan. I'm wearing this style in a size XL and it does fit my waist but has a little bit of spare room. My waist measurement jumps from 32 inches to 33 inches on a regular basis so I hope that helps you in your search for the right size. Listed as a size 34 inch waist it's close but still not perfect. 

I've paired this with my white petticoat from Hell Bunny and I think the combination is adorable! I originally wanted a red petticoat to pair with this but I actually like the softness the white adds to this outfit. The white also came in handy with the next skirt I modeled. The petticoat fits nicely underneath this skirt with a flatness at the waist and bulk where you want it. 

I just can't help but show off my underskirt while modeling such items and twirl. You can't forget to twirl in these skirts!!

Hell Bunny Flamingo 50's Skirt - $45.00

Top/Dress - P Is For Pinup 

Luichiny Van Essa in Fuchsia - $89.99

Pinup Girl Clothing Belt (purchase in store) 

Next up we have a colour combination I bet you never thought you'd see me in - baby blues and pinks oh my! This colour and print is so far from my usual styling but I do adore it! I'm a sucker for anything that features flamingo's and this print has my heart. 

Sadly this is way too big for me so I've had to safety pin it at the back and add my own belt to secure the skirt at the right point on my waist. This skirt is in a size 2xl and is just not the right fit for my measurements.

The size chart listing of waist measurements for this size is 36 - 37 inches and I would say that is rather spot on.

But after wearing this style and print I'm actually loving the bright colours on my skin. I'm going to make an effort to bring more looks like this into my life come summer.

Hell Bunny Green Adelaide 50's Skirt - £28.99

Hell Bunny Black Petticoat - $49.00

Wheels & Dollbaby Dita Cardigan in Black (Sold Out) - $190.00

Luichiny Eye Doll Platforms - $89.99

Belt - Old Torrid sold out. 

If you have red hair you know that any shade of green is your best friend and this skirt is my new bestie. The colour is actually a lot darker in reality and the most stunning shade of almost emerald green. Paired with my black petticoat this is my favorite of all the outfits! 

I am wearing this style in a size Large and to quote Goldilocks it's 'Just right' Yes we have a winner! I now need to order every Hell Bunny skirt in a large. 

Paired again with my other Dita Cardigan which is a perfect match for so many of these skirts and prints. 

Have you tried out any of these styles yet or are yet to invest in a few skirts or petticoats? Tell me what you think of all the new separates and prints bellow. 

Betty Le Bonbon - Cheek Boutique

Betty Le Bonbon is an Australian based online shop offering something that is very near and dear to me - Circle Skirts for Inbetweenies!! Designing amazing skirts for women with waist sizes 30-42 inches they fill a much needed gap in the market.

With a focus on well-made garments at affordable prices, proudly handmade in Australia they create the most adorable and twirtastic apparel that is a joy to wear, style and even able to be machine washed!

About the skirts:

Betty Le Bonbon skirts have been hand crafted to look beautiful and flattering on all shapes and sizes. The waistband emphasizes the narrowest part of your waist, while the full skirt flows over the hips and derriere, accentuating your curves and giving you that wonderfully feminine silhouette so reminiscent of women of the 50s.

Now that's enough talk lets see a skirt!!!

 Black with white polka dots swing skirt - $65.00

Wheels & Dollbaby Classic Cardigan with Vintage Logo - $135.00

Luichiny Eye Doll Platforms - $89.95

The fact that you can order by your waist size for these skirts means you get a spot on fit. I'm wearing the 33 inch in this style and it is perfect! I opted to go for the black and white style as my first skirt as it will match with everything in my wardrobe. The waist band fits perfectly and I've added my own waist belt to define my shape even more and create that proper 50's silhouette.

The polka dot print just pops and I love how this fabric drapes naturally on its own. Now this is the kind out outfit I would wear out on the town and I would even add petticoat underneath for a little more shape and flair. If you were looking for a more casual way to wear this I'd suggest ballet flats and a cute tank or tee in similar colours, even bobby socks if  you have them!

I adore this skirt and I think I need to start a collection in all the different colours with red and white polka dot being the first on my list.

Althought they focus on 'inbetweenie' sizes they are happy to do custom skirts for bigger/smaller sizes with a 3 week turn around on sizes that fit outside of their range.

While you pick up a super cute skirt you can also get some brilliant accessories from Betty Le Bonbon. I'm loving the brooches and waist belts!
