Dress of the Day

Today's dress!

Today's dress comes from Oasis and is a personal favourite. I had been coveting it for a long time, this and one other from the same collection. It's from the London Love Letters collection that Oasis brought out last season. Both dresses were originally £80 each which I think is incredibly steep for an everyday dress. So I added it to my wish list and kept sighing over it for a very long time...

Until I saw they had gone into the sale! Both dresses were listed at £45 so I called up my local stockist to ask if they had them in stock in my size, whereupon they told me that they had a special on that day where they were 15% off the marked price! So I got both for £76.50. Great or what!

The body of the dress is fitted without being too tight, with a concealed side zip, cross back, and I'm wearing a size 14.

All the patterns on the dresses in this range were hand drawn. This one features flowers and postcards of places around London:

The only downside of the dress is that the lining - it has quite a high quality lining in my opinion - sometimes rides up when my bag rubs against my side and I'm wearing tights/leggings. That's a bit of an annoyance.

Sorry, that last picture is a bit low quality!

I'm glad I got this dress - I need to wear it more often! Because of my issues about my weight and the fact that the body is fitted I sometimes worry that I'm too fat in it :/ But I feel so lovely and feminine when I wear it...!
