Then this year I saw this dress in RED on a couple of other bloggers and I wasted no time. Since I had been so good this year and hardly bought any clothes I decided to treat myself to it. It was red and it had the classic vintage style that I like so much.
It's from Lovedrobe via Simply Be and from experience I know that Lovedrobe can come up small in size so I chose this dress in size 26 to give room for my boobs and that was a good decision. There is no stretch in this dress, so if you have big boobs then I would go for a bigger size than your normal size.
Isn't it just gorgeous? I am totally in love with it and the red colour is perfect! This dress is what I would call perfect for all occasions as you could easily wear it to work, you could wear it on a day out, on a night out or to a bigger event like a Christening or birthday.
The fabric is medium weight and the dress falls really nicely. No need to iron either which is an extra plus. It has very comfortable and sassy short sleeves which I'm so happy aren't lined as I like the contrast to the skin. Red works so well on pale skin. It's one of my favourite combinations.
It zips up at the side and it gives you a really nice shape thanks to the lovely full skirt. It's a good length on me as well. It's described as a midi, but on me(5'6") it hits me right under the knees so it's the perfect length in my opinion.
Red dress and red lips!!! Never too much red!!!
The open crocheted design is stunning and delicate.
I'm not being paid by Lovedrobe to say this, but if you're looking for a dress that is so versatile for most times you want to wear something beautiful and well fitting so go go go and get it before you're too late.

That's gorgeous! I have it in black (and had to size up too!) - wonder if I can justify having a red version too.... :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathy. :) It's beautiful! :) Yes, go for it, it will look amazing on you :) xxx
DeleteThis dress is so lovely! I always find finding dresses hard as so many are sleeveless, low cut or bum-scrappingly short. As you said, it's super versatile - I might have to add it to my own wardrobe ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a classic. :) It's a dress you can wear for years and years. :) Thank you for your kind words. :)
DeleteTotally suits your colouring! And I am also obsessed with this dress. So pretty!!

Thank you Hayley. :) It's really lovely. It's one of those dresses who would look good on everyone. :)
DeleteIt's a really vibrant red, isn't it? You'd really stand out in a crowd wearing that!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly isn't a dress to wear if you want to blend in no.:) I love red, I even married in red so needless to say I love red.
DeleteThat really is gorgeous - the colour really suits you and I love the style.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much :)
DeleteAbsolutely right, you can never have too much red. Its definitely your colour. But if it was me, I would want to team it with bright red knee high boots.
ReplyDeleteOoooh that sounds really sexy. :) I chose sandals as it was a nice and warm day, but in autumn and winter boots would be absolutely a knock out. :)
DeleteThis dress is so beautiful - no matter who I've seen it on, it looks incredible on everyone! I might have to make a purchase, good to know I'll probably need to size up on it too!

Thank you for the lovely words Lottie. :) Go get it before it sells out. :) xx
DeleteLove the dress, the crochet design is very captivating. You've matched it well with the shoes, and I think you're right, this is a dress for day / night and special occasions meaning you're going to get a lot of wear from it.
ReplyDeleteI know! It's amazing. :) Thank you :) xx
DeleteI'm so glad that you managed to find this in red because it looks amazing on you. Such a lovely dress x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. :) I am too. I didn't waste any time when I saw it in red. :) xx
DeleteI love the dress, I have a few red dresses in my wardrobe at the moment but a girl can never have too many x
ReplyDeleteNo, that is true. I've got lots of red dresses and I'm always tempted to buy more hehe. :)
DeleteI love a red lip, it goes with everything. I sadly can't wear red clothes as I'm ginger and it just clashes. Lovely dress you got, and I love those shoes. I just bought a pair of heels from New Look, always have such great shoes :)

I'm sure that even as a ginger you can wear red. It's just about finding the right shade of red. I think you would look good in red. :) New look always have great choices shoes to a very affordable price. :)
DeleteWow hun you look amazing and can I just say how proud I was to see you on this morning. Your attitude and ethos is so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Coming from you that is amazing to hear as I think you're absolutely stunning and your style is amazing. :) it was a very good experience being on This Morning :) xxx

DeleteI agree. Never too much red. Looking good x
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Red is power and confidence!! :)
DeleteThat is one seriously stunning looking dress. How fantastic! You totally rock that look. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Elizabeth. :)
DeleteI often suffer from that high neck suffocated feeling too,so it's nice when the dress is cut perfectly for this to not be an issue! It look beautiful on you. x
ReplyDeleteIt's not very comfy to feel suffocated so this is just right. :) Thank you very much. :)
Deleteyour dress is lovely and the colour red really suits you
ReplyDeleteI really want to wear more red this year, but I just can't find anything that suits me and doesn't make me look like a tomato.
