One of the highlights of last year was winning ‘Best New Blog’ at the British plus Size Awards. Not only was winning and having a fabulous night with some awesome bloggers feel great but I have to say I felt officially fierce in my outfit. (Which you can see here!) It was a gorgeous Lovedrobe dress that just ticked every single box for me and I know it will be in my wardrobe for a long time to come. This is what brands need to remember, when you’re doing something well, keep doing it and it my opinion Lovedrobe have. Their dresses are simply gorgeous and are most are available in sizes 14 – 32. I’ve always found it hard to find gorgeous plus size dresses with fun detail and I sort of kick myself that I didn’t find Lovedrobe ages ago. They are perfect for going out or special occasion pieces, these dresses are usually the ones available in places like Simply Be and Evans. But they do some really pretty casual wear too on their website too. One of which is this lovely floral chiffon dress.
It is true that generally speaking you should size up in Lovedrobe dresses, however the sizes that double over (e.g. -22/24, 26/28) are spot on. So that’s a good rule to go by. I love the fact that this dress has an almost cross over effect to the top, this means lots of space if you have a large bust and no problem with it being too tight at the back. The dress is lined, a little floaty and in my opinion fits perfect. I do love a floral dress I don’t care if its summer, autumn or winter I find them the easiest of things to put on and feel great in an instant.
There is something about the cut of the arms on Lovedrobe dresses which are uber flattering, they have a capped sleeve with an almost petal shape that somehow really flatters the tops of my arms and for me this is a huge plus. This dress is an all year piece. Not only are the colours bright but not too in your face, the are so versatile. Any colour jacket, cardigan, boots, shoes, bag…. simple. For the chillier season like now, I’ve just paired it with a super soft eye lash cardigan (which I LOVE) and ankle boots. In summer it will be perfect on its own with a little sunshine as the perfect accessory.
Lovedrobe currently have an awesome sale on that you need to check out, this dress (at the time of writing) is a bargain £19.00. Yes, you can thank me later!
