I've been really getting into wearing long dresses. Not of the floaty printed boho maxi variety, no - the long jersey solid colour variety. I compared many, many of these at different price points and I can say with some confidence that you should buy one from New Look and no one will ever be able to tell that you spent £15 rather than £150. And I don't require a special occasion to get out the Avalon dress, which I now refer to as my ballgown. The amount of fabric in the skirt is very pleasing, and gives everything you do a different quality - as if you're wearing a casual black wedding dress - going to the loo requires hoiking a load of fabric over your shoulder, going down steps the skirt must be attended to - it's fun! But really I would like this dress Daria's wearing in Dossier. I'd wear it every day in the kitchen, to the supermarket.
I love dresses. And the dress shown above is so beautiful. Especially in seafoam green... dreamy.
ReplyDeleteIn another life I too could float around in sea-foam green .In this one I might be a hazard . But it would feel lovely .
ReplyDeletegreat dress! even better if it is 10 pounds!
ReplyDeleteBeen toying with the idea of floating about in a long dress, but only problem is that I'm short and curvy, so not convinced it's going to be a good look for me, will troup down to New Look and test if I can pull it off.
ReplyDeletelusting this photo.. the maxi is perfect with that military hat.
ReplyDeleteI always love the polar opposite styles together!

This dress is soooo lovely and I'm thinking of it for my wedding. I can't seem to find it anywhere though, it is Hillfiger?
ReplyDeleteThis dress is very very lovely! I can't find it online though, does that page say it is Hilfiger?
ReplyDeleteV - it does say HIlfiger, but that photo is from last year - sorry!
