Hi Ladies,
As some of you know I have been wanting to add a couple of new dresses to my closet. My dresses have been the final category to be purged and replenished. I find dresses challenging in terms of fit and recently I have been sizing up to accommodate my bust and then having the lower half of the dress tailored.
But this one is fab. No need for any alterations.
It was Debra who introduced me to this dress in her post here http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-apple
The dress is the Short Sleeve Plaza Dress from Metalicus, for anyone who may be interested. By the time I had done some research and decided I wanted to order it (we don't have a store here) it had sold out on line. I managed to track down one at a boutique in Penrith (NSW) and phoned them to find the loveliest store owner who bent over backwards to locate the dress and did the sale over the phone for me.
The dress is one size and has the most wonderful drape effect. It's a lovely weight jersey and will be quite a transeasonal dress. It arrived Thursday and I wore it Thursday night to dinner to celebrate DH and my 20th wedding anniversary.
The appealing thing about this dress is that I feel it could be worn almost anywhere. It is one of my options for an afternoon wedding next weekend.
hence that's why I was taking photos as I had only seen the dress in the mirror:) Popped on my red pumps and would of course accessorise more intentionally if I do wear it for the wedding.
This isn't a keep or return, tags are off, but I am always interested in your opinions... and I wanted to share :) I was concerned the drape might not be figure flattering and I would suggest that is not completely conventionally flattering, but I like what I see :)
The dress comes in a number of colours and the style and comfort of this dress has me considering replicating but I won't be making any hasty decisions. They also have a lovely knee length drape skirt at the moment. hmm
So thanks for looking, and have a lovely weekend.
xxx Deborah
p.s. #5 is the Plaza Twist Skirt, just for your interest :)
