Pretty Plisse

Monday, December 12, 2016

You don't have to spend lots of money on something new for that Christmas party. You can buy something new to you! Ebay is my go to for everything really. I picked up this old Anna Scholtz for Simply Be dress that still had the tags on for £15! Total bargain. It has sequin bird detail and is pleated plisse fabric in black which is something I have very little of in my wardrobe.

Plisse is a great fabric and there seems to be quite a bit of it about for Winter. The pleats mean it has good stretch but also hugs areas well and falls nicely.

This is a size 28 and fits well. I need it for the bust. I like how it falls just below my knee but would be shorter on anyone taller. (5'3'') I have adding some gold accessories to create a simple but pretty Party look. Now who wants to PARTY!!!!!

Royal Red

Thursday, June 09, 2016

I have this dress in all the colour options and just love it. I put it on and instantly feel GLAM! Velvet is not really Summery but I think it can still work for an evening event or Wedding. I have kept it quite simple with large chunky bling necklace and glitter earrings with gold shoes.

I am wearing a size 26 and it fits perfectly. The bust has great coverage and the gathered waist is a lovely detail. I am a bug fan of a sweetheart neckline and the sleeve length is nice too. The overall length on me is great (I am 5'3'') as I can wear chub rub shorts and not worry about them showing when I sit down. There is a slit at the back of the skirt. The Velvet is soft an lush with lots of stretch.

The bust and back is lined with a soft stretchy material for extra support and gives a smoothing effect. I can't stress enough how much I love the Velvets from Scarlett & Jo! They are all fabulous!!!

Dress - Scarlett & Jo Midi Velvet Bodycon in Royal Red size 26 £50

Everything Is Coming Up Rose Gold

Tuesday, November 18, 2014

Party season is in full swing and I was looking for something special to strut my stuff in and turn heads. I came across this stunning Rose Gold Sequin dress on the JD Williams website. It is part of the range being favoured by fellow Scot and TVs Lorraine Kelly.

If you have not had a look recently at what JD Williams has to offer then I suggest you have a browse! There are some beautiful Party and Everyday pieces.

It is hard to style something so ornate and beautiful! The dress speaks for itself and accessories are not really needed.

The sequin design is beautiful and the dress has some weight to it! The fabric has a slight stretch and no zip so it is just slipped on over the head. The body is lined with a flesh tone stretch fabric but the sleeves are unlined. I think this is a nice design touch.

The high neckline means no necklace is needed and again the dress shines on its own!

I am 5'3" and the dress sits knee length on me so would be shorter on a taller frame. I really love this dress and have nothing but praise for it.

The dress is available HERE in size 10-30 and is priced £95-105 depending on size.

Whats Kimono Over Me

Tuesday, November 18, 2014

This is my second kimono this year. Yes I am late to the kimono party! This beauty is from Yours Clothing. I wanted an oversized look so sized up but I could have easily went for my usual size and still have had plenty room!

I was happy to find that the material had stretch. The golden flower detail on the shoulders, sleeves and bottom is very pretty and even the black has a flower pattern to it.

The top underneath is also from Yours Clothing. I sized up in this also and needed to as the smaller size was tight around my belly. Plenty room in the bust and has a turned up cuff on the short sleeve. I also purchased the green version!

The fabric is matt satin not stretch but does not crease easily which is perfect for the non iron owner (like myself). It also has side splits and dips at the front and back! Most tops are too short at front as my boobs pull things up so this was brilliant! I wish more tops were like this! I kept this look simple with black leggings and gold belt and have achived a vintage 1930/40s style.
