Big Sleeves...Big Hair

Thursday 2 April 2015



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!

  7. What 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.

  10. This is all kinds of awesome, just be careful not to get yourself tangled up in moving parts and avoid cooking in it at all costs!
    Totally envious of your hair - look at it all!
