My First Buy From Lindy Bop

I'm a lover of vintage dresses and vintage style. I have so many vintage reproduction dresses in my wardrobe that I don't know the exact number anymore. However there was one brand that I had been trying dresses from over and over again with no luck. Lindy Bop. Despite catering for sizes up to a 26, they were all too small over my bust so I had to send them back. I was gutted cause some of the most beautiful dresses I had seen had to be sent back. I gave up on Lindy Bop dresses until this summer when I heard from other plus size bloggers that the "May" dress was generous in size and also in the bust, so I was hopeful when I ordered it. I got it and tried it on straight away and it fitted perfectly. I was so happy and I was taken back by this dress as I loved the design of it.


Isn't it gorgeous? I love the print as well and the piping to the bodice makes this dress so well fitted and stand out. It's like it's made for me. This is definitely one of the dresses I own that I've got most compliments for. And I can see why.


I'm wearing a size 26 which is perfect over my bust, while it's a bit big around the waist, but not more than I can live with that. It's designed in a way so it still gives you a beautiful waist where the piping of the bodice stops.


I was wearing this dress out on the last day of my holiday to Spain in September and it's a perfect match for my ever trusted yellow peep toe shoes from Evans that I've been living in all spring and summer. It's such a comfy and cute shoe that is the perfect addition to this dress.

I have bought the beautiful Saphy dress as well and it fits perfectly too. This had made me very happy as I love Lindy Bop's dresses and can't wait to try more of them.

Lady V London- Luscious Lips

One of the gifts my lovely husband gave me for my 40th was this beautiful Hepburn dress from Lady V London. And although I've had some issues with the customer service part of Lady V London, I have to admit that I do love their dresses. I keep oohhing and aahing over them and the feeling of wearing the beautiful dresses are amazing. I feel like a million bucks wearing them.





Isn't this such a lovely vibrant print? I love it. I like prints that are a bit ususual and I can't say how much I love the combination of the turquoise blue and red. That is a colour combination i didn't think would work, but it so does.





 The fit of the dress is as every other Lady V London dress I own. I have to size up to get it to fit across my boobs. This is a size 26/28 and it fits perfectly over my boobs, but it's a bit baggy in the shoulder area and around my waist. But by wearing a belt it looks good as it gives me more shape. The dress is made in a good quality cotton fabric with just a little amount of strech. Not enough for me to wear my regular size 24. The zip in the back zips up easily in this size, so I would rather size up than getting the dreaded flattened boobs effect.
