This dress is originally from New Look Inspire and I was very close to buying it at one point but lucky for me I snatched this up at the Sheffield Clothes Swap! It is stretch and reminds me a little of the 1970s bed spreads my Gran used to use. It has sequins all over in a repeat pattern which makes it shimmer and gives it that Mermaid feel I love. Perfect match for my Charcoal Designs Mermaid necklace that I looooove sooo much!!!
