Squee and arrgghh

I must just squee about a dress that I bought today to wear to a wedding in May. It really channels Betty from Mad Men's look and also has a bit of 1950s retro about it. It even has a net underskirt. It's absolutely beautiful, and I feel so pretty in it despite being about twice the size of Betty Draper! I will have to find a nice big flower to

Thankyou :) I never in a million years thought I would fit into Phase 1 clothes (they go up to 18), but I saw it in the window and absolutely had to try it on as for me it's the perfect shape.

I ended up having to get Dave to come and meet me at the shop after work to check what he thought as Phase 1 have have an exchange rather than a return policy on sales stuff and I didn't want to get it home and have him go "eughhh". Luckily he was really enthusiastic about it, so home it's come!!

I have the similar dark purple one from their previous collection - it's a great shape.

Yay!

I'm not actually a big fan of the '50s look, but that dress is stunning.
