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...!

Dress of the Day: Tuesday (updated)

Yes, I'm behind again... Cause I'm still under the weather T^T

Tuesday's dress was the first of my new collection to be worn.

Jacquard floral floppy dress, size 12, £38

(I don't have a full length mirror in my room, and I don't like to disturb my sis to use her mirror if she's in her room. Besides, she's usually asleep or still in bed when I get ready for work. She's a PhD student so works from home)

*added a picture of the detail on the dress :)
