Here is another STUNNING little number from the amazing Gatsby Lady Collection! As with most of the Gatsby dresses this Flapper dress is available in other colour options. I chose the white as it was a traditional Bridal colour.

The Flapper dress is covered with sequins and beads to make the beautiful patterns that are classic Art Deco style. The dress has a stretchy white slip under under the beaded mesh. I did not notice the slip has slim straps and my only nude bra died last week! The top part of the dress could really fit most sizes. The bottom part is fitted and I am wearing the size 30 for reference.

This style will suit a small bust as is would drape more and be loose fitting. The waist has elastic in it so it will always give a good shape. The Angel sleeves are perfect for lose not wanting to bare arms but you get the lovely see through look due to the mesh.

I got the matching headband and it is all you need to complete the Vintage look. It is so simple but had such class and make a bold statement which is perfect for Bridal and at these prices they can fit nearly every Budget too!

I will be trying a few more styles in the future and look forward to sharing them with you.

Budget Bridal - Gatsby Lady Gloria

Introducing Gloria a beaded mint green dress with cape that makes a stunning and elegant Wedding dress. Gatsby Lady London have so many stunning dresses that would suit many fabulous occasions but this one really stood out to me as something a little different for a Budget Bridal option. It is also available in Off White for the traditional look. Most of the dresses come in 2 or more colour options and are available in sizes 6 - 30.

The heavily beaded and detailed dresses command attention and really are so beautiful in photos but shine in real life. The material is a thin non stretch chiffon which had me a little worried about fit but I sized up to the 30 which is actually the perfect fit for me. I usually need to size up from my usual 26/28 when buying non stretch fabrics to accommodate my large bust.

This dress makes me feel like a glamorous babe and the bead work gives the dress some weight which makes it flow really lovely when walking and moving around. It also stops the cape section from awkwardly flying up with a breeze. Due to my large bust the waist sits higher on me than it would most people. The length is great for me too. I am 5'3'' for reference.

Most of the dresses have headbands to purchase that perfectly match which is a lovely touch! It gives the full vintage look with ease and makes for the perfect Vintage Style Bridal look. I have included some other gorgeous dresses from the Gatsby Collection that would also work as Bridal Wear.

Dress - GatsbyLady Gloria Mint Dress size 30 £55

Headband - GatsbyLady Charleston Mint £15

Shoes - Asos £22

Glasses - Vintage

Earrings - SummerBlueJewelry

TOTAL - £92.00

Budget Bridal - Society Plus Tutu

For my first ever Society Plus post this is a great one! What fashion loving lady does not love a tutu?!

They are such a great item to have and these are just beautiful. I have seen a few bloggers post about them and I thought they would make a great Budget Bridal item as did Society Plus and their Collaboration with PrettyPearBride. Choosing just one to style was hard! In the end I went for this Baby Blue shorter style as I had not seen it on any other bloggers.

It arrived super fast and comes with a ribbon to tie at the waist. The waist is a wide elastic covered in a satin material the same shade as the skirt and ribbon. I was between sizes when I looked at the size chart but figured sizing up is always the safe bet so I went for the US 26/28 and it fits great. I could have sized down if my size was out of stock and it would not have been a problem. Some of the other tutus have a zip and no elastic so it is worth checking the size chart for those. They go from a US size 14 - 36!

The colour is beautiful and in some light it looks almost a green more than blue which I like. It is so full and soft I feel like the Princess in it. This skirt is a big statement piece that is perfect for Bridal wear but is so versatile while not breaking the bank. These style skirts give you the glamorous look without the designer price tag of a Wedding dress but feeling like a million bucks!

I love this tutu and feel like every woman should have one even if it is just for wearing around the house and playing dress up. Rock it with a vest like Carrie in Sex & The City or with a bling sequin top and glam it up! They also make great Fairy outfits for kids parties and Halloween so basically get yourself a tutu! Below are some other suitable Bridal Tutus but Society Plus also has Black and Red one available!
