Cosette: Design Inspiration and Size Guide!
Bonjour, mes petites chéries!
Gather close, for I have a story as delightful as a Parisian sunrise. Kitten D’Amour’s enchanting new collection, 'Cosette', has arrived, and mon dieu, it’s a feast for the senses! With swishing polka dots, flirty bustles, and bows tied with perfection, this collection whisks you away to the romance of vintage Paris.
But who, you may ask, is Cosette? Ah, she is no ordinary muse! Cosette, from Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, embodies hope, transformation, and a delicate, radiant beauty. Like her story of love triumphing over hardship, this collection blooms with the charm of a Parisienne ingénue—graceful, enchanting, and impossible to forget.
Let us stroll through this collection, oui? The 'Cosette' Bustier Dress is pure joy—black and white polka dots pirouette across the fabric, the flouncy skirt twirling as if to say, “Dance with me!” Slip on a frothy petticoat beneath, and you’ll find yourself the très chic starlet of a postcard-worthy moment. Pair it with our matching shoes and handbag, and voilà, you’ve stepped straight into a cobblestoned Montmartre daydream.
And oh, the 'Cosette' Wiggle Dresses! Ooh la la, with not one, but three to choose from, these designs are poetry in fabric. One seduces with a ruffled peekaboo decolletage, a nod to 19th-century couture that once turned heads at every Parisian soirée. Another dares to enchant with an oversized bow perched high on the derriere, as playful as a wink across a crowded café. The third? A symphony of polkadots and pink lace! These details are steeped in history—bustles and bows were once the ultimate symbols of French fashion, adding drama and femininity to silhouettes designed to captivate.
Of course, no Parisienne ensemble would be complete without the exquisite details like feminine bows and lace. These luxurious touches elevate every piece, evoking the opulence of 19th-century salons. Ribbons and bows whisper of elegance, while delicate pink lace adds just the right touch of romance—because what is life without a little je ne sais quoi?
Oh, and the ruffles, Kittens! Inspired by the salons and soirées of the past, they cascade like champagne spilling from a crystal flute, playful yet refined. Whether they’re trimming a bodice or adding a flirtatious touch to a bustle, ruffles bring the spirit of Parisienne glamour to life.
And so, mes amours, 'Cosette' is not merely a collection—it’s an invitation to feel magnifique, wherever you are. Every stitch and every swish of fabric carries the spirit of a bygone Paris, but with a touch of 1950s joie de vivre that will have you saying, “Oui, oui, and encore!”
Are you ready to make 'Cosette' your own? Tie that bow, fluff your ruffles, and step into the magic. After all, life is always better with a bit of Kitten D’Amour and a sprinkling of Parisian charm.
À bientôt, mes belles!
Peek behind the velvet curtain as our Kittens play dress-up in ‘Cosette’, just for you—très chic!
Kay Kitten (Bust: 79cm / Waist: 65.5cm / Hip: 91cm / Height: 172cm)
‘Cosette’ Drape Front Top (Black) and ‘Cosette’ Lace Flirt Skirt - Size 4:
Oh, my kittens! The lace in this top is to die for! Buttery smooth and super stretchy, it’s designed to flatter anyone. Kay notes that because of the garment’s stretchy nature, she recommends sizing down. The size 4 fits well; however, she worries that with the stretch, it may become looser after several washes. Paired with the cute-as-a-button Flirt Skirt! This is the first collection she’s seen at her time with Kitten to feature a mini-skirt which is perfect for summer! And don’t worry, it’s fully lined to keep just the right level of modesty.
‘Cosette’ Ruffle Wiggle Dress - Size 4:
Wow, this wiggle dress has some serious sculpting abilities! Kay notes that the size 4 was a very firm fit, and suggests sizing up if you're in-between sizes (That is, unless you like it real tight and waist snatching!) Everything from the design, to the silhouette is so unique yet breathtakingly beautiful. This is possibly her absolute favourite design to date!
‘Cosette’ Bustier Dress - Size 4:
The size 4 in this design was a firm fit! Not as firm as the Ruffle Wiggle Dress, but this dress is definitely true to size. Giving off a beautiful silhouette, the bustier dress is lined and has a great shape. Oh! and it has pockets!
