Welcome back to
another fabulous vintage-inspired dress review! In this blog post, I will be
reviewing the beautiful dress “Jolene” by Heart of Haute – formerly known as “Heartbreaker
Fashion” before changing its name. This dress boasts a classic 1950’s diner
inspired look and feel.

What sold me the
most of the dress is the lapel-style collar which is one of my favorite style
of collars. I also like the red and black contrast. The floral pattern isn’t
too loud either. I like how I can dress it up with black accessories to maintain
a mature look. The skirt is A-line and isn't too flared so a petticoat isn't necessary. The dress comes with a belt with loops that blend in with the black waistline. The best thing is the belt is adjustable to any size and doesn't have any holes to adjust to. Other than that, you'll have leftover strap to tuck in.
Overall, the
dress is very comfortable, has lots of appeal and feminine charm. This dress is truly a unique vintage reproduction that remains true to the time period. It also comes
in a variety of styles including white, pink, light blue and even polka dot
print.
I wore this dress
for the 2017 Miss World of Wheels Pin Up Contest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is
complimentary-worthy and blend in very nicely with 1950’s classic cars.
I believe this dress is no longer sold on the Heart of Haute official website. However you can find it on eBay, Poshmark, Amazon or Retro Vixens. Just search "Heart of Haute Jolene 1950's Dress".
Wear this dress for work, school, a meeting or even shopping. Dress it up with vintage gloves, heels or flats and a sequined 1950’s style handbag.
I can't wait to do more photo shoots with this dress. Perhaps a 1950's diner shoot again would work. For now I use it along with my reenactment series via Instagram and Facebook.
