I am excited to share some of the New Scarlett & Jo Collection with you over the coming weeks. These should be available on the website in a week or two! They are all vintage flower prints and styles. This one is a of the same style as the lollidot wrap dresses but it has a thinner material which is great for Summer!

This is a sample size 24 and it is generously sized. I would usually wear a 26 in this style. This is a great dress for work or play and can be dressed up or down easily. It has a tie back and the crossover is cut perfectly so as not to gape and show bra. The 3/4 sleeve is a lovely touch and has a tie back. The length falls below my knee and I am 5'3'' for reference.

The navy with the beautiful wild flower print works so well. I love vintage and retro prints and having the look of vintage with the comfort and cut to fit my shape and size is wonderful. These dresses really are a must have. I look forward to sharing the next dress soon!

This post is another Budget Bridal post in the run up to my wedding next Summer. I wanted to share with you what is available to the large and short lady with a range of styles for under £200!

Hello Pie Lovers! I saw this dress a year ago on tumblr and had no idea where it was from. When I found out it was from Modcloth I went to see what sizes were available. I was surprised and happy that it went up to a 4x. I checked out the reviews and size chart and figured I should at least give it a try since I loved it so much. I was over the moon when the buttons fit over my boobs and I could actually wear this dreamy dress! My only problem with it is the lining is small and tight over my belly when sitting but I can easily cut it out or just put up with it. It makes me feel like a 1950s house wife and could be straight out of an episode of Mad Men! I also reminds me of a wonderful movie called Waitress where the girl thinks up all these amazing recipes for Pies and makes them.

The print has a lot going on so I kept it simple with a big pearl necklace, lemon slice bag, green heels and another of my Janine Basil Dame Edna Glasses hair clips but this time worn as a brooch.

As with all orders to the UK from the USA postage is around £20 plus Duty can be charged. For my order of £100 I was charged £30 Duty. You have to factor in the extra costs.
