I have to say I have never been a fan of the Joe Browns range. It was always a little to hippy for me but a few weeks ago I got a little booklet through the door showing the new range available and I was blown away by all the beautiful retro pinup style dresses they had! I had skimmed past some of them on the Fashion World website as the pictures were too small and grainy to see the beauty of the prints. Viewing the high quality and detailed photos opened my eyes to the beauty that is Joe Browns! It is safe to say I am now a firm fan of this range thanks to this dress!

Fashion World were kind enough to send me the Colourful Coral 50's Dress to review since I am new to the range. I am in love with this dress! It is a thick cotton shirt material with stretch. I have a couple of dresses made with this material already and they are two of my favourite dresses in my wardrobe.

I ordered the 26 not knowing how it would fit and it is actually perfect for me. The length is great and the cap sleeve detail is very pretty. The neckline is great for my bust and I can see me wearing this dress a lot this summer. The flower print is beautiful and my Mr was very complimentary about this dress too. It would be perfect for any summer event and could easily be wintered up with a nice thick pretty cardi.

This past weekend my hubby booked a friend and myself into a Spa for the night. I thought it would be the perfect chance to show off this dress! We went for cake and coffee before checking in and the weather was lovely. I felt like a Summer Stunner in this dress! If you are like me and have not tried Joe Brown before then I can safely say that you will not be disappointed in any purchase.

If you are a Steps fan you may get the reference in the title and if not just have a look at the video at the end! This dress is from the Claire Richards Range and it is just gorgeous! I have liked quite a few of her pieces from the previous range but this is the first I have tried.

This is not a dress I would normally got for. Lace and the shape are never really my first choice but I have to say this dress is beautiful! It has a good weight to the fabric and the lace is so soft and not at all itchy. This is a quality dress and worth the money. I don't usually say that so when I do you know I mean it!

I wore this to my good friend Rebs 30th birthday party on Saturday and got lots of compliments on it and a lot of people actually new it was from the Claire Richards Range. The under layer is a thick stretchy lovely light blue and the lace is navy. The sleeves a great length and are sheer so you get the delicate feel but with coverage if you don't like showing your arms and you don't have to use a cardi to cover them and end up hiding the beautiful dress.

I sized up to a 26 for this shape as I have a large belly and bum. The bigger size was the right choice as it was perfect. It was not super skin tight and had a lovely shape. If you have not seen any of Claires Range then I suggest you head over to Fashion World to have a look as there is something for everyone and the quality is really good.

These are my top picks from Fashion World! Check out the website for more great bargains!

Hello fashion hungry fatties! I first saw this dress on the beautiful Elena from Frivolous Mrs D at Plus North and fell in love with it. Fashion World kindly gifted me this dress to review and was super excited to get it on my body! The dress has a slight stretch which makes it comfortable and has a great fit and flare shape. The cap sleeve make it easy to wear without a cardi/bolero and it has a tulle underskirt section to make it stay poofy.

This Damask print is so lovely and in different lights it looks more black or more red/pink. I found the length perfect for me. I am 5'4" so will be shorter on you taller ladies. it has a side zip which I didn't need to use as I slipped it on. I wore it to a friends birthday meal and got lots of compliments on it and felt fabulous all night.
