Another day, another rediscovered dress...
I hadn't forgotten about this Beatrix Potter dress exactly. You can't really forget that Peter Rabbit is living in your wardrobe, can you? It's more that it was lurking in the sad end of my wardrobe with the size 12 dresses that sort of fitted at one point and now definitely don't fit. It's worth trying them on every now and then though, just to see if they surprise you.
This did! Ok, it could do with being a bit less tight over my dreaded lower stomach area but at some point in my life I need to stop caring about that. It ain't going away without a tummy tuck. I did have to do a bit of a mincey wiggle around the office all day due to the fit of it but that's probably partly due to the style. I never wear shift dresses so I'm not used to having my legs confined like that.
It's been almost two years since I last blogged it and considering I haven't dieted since then, I don't think the fit looks that much different. Bit tighter, yes, but if a handmade shift dress still fits you then things aren't too bad.
Dress - handmade, mostly by Char with some feeble assistance by me
Cardi - Debenhams
Shoes - Irregular Choice Baby Beauty, gift.

Love those boots, very neutral for IC and they would go with loads. I avoid shifts and bodycon for the exact same reason. Even after losing weight I have flab so not comfortable wearing tight things yet. Nobody ever really tells you that when you lose weight you wont look how you want, rather depressing.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress, it is so pretty on you and looks AWESOME with that cardigan! My weight is fluctuating loads at the moment, not good for my self esteem :(
