It's a good job I saved this dress for today. If I'd worn it earlier in the week there's a distinct chance I'd have taken off and been blown across the Irish Sea.
There is a lot of fabric in these sleeves. If a gust of wind had caught them in the wrong direction, I reckon I'd have been rapidly transformed into a well-dressed kite.
It's excellent fun to wear though. I feel very dramatic.
It barely needs any embellishments either. I've tried wearing a cardigan over it and well, that turned into a giant tangle of fabric. Luckily the dress fabric is a really nice thick jersey so it's lovely and warm just by itself. If I need extra warmth I can always tuck myself up in the sleeves!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic dress. Those sleeves!! I used to have a dressy top with similar sleeves which I wore to school discos. God I loved it, but the sleeves had a habit of getting caught in car doors or on door handles. It's worth suffering for awesome sleeves though.
ReplyDeleteYou could have been floating through the air like Mary Poppins!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous dress, I love anything that you can swoosh around dramatically in!
