So a few weeks back I found this velvet dress in one of my local charity shops.
It was floor length, but after a couple of snips and rounds at the sewing machine from my lovely Granny I now possess a matching minidress and skirt.
Working at Topshop I am accustomed to seeing body conscious Velvet dresses on a daily basis, and I've been kind of over the whole super-tight-super-sexy velvet look look, but the loose fit of this one is so very cosy and I like that it is quite Cranberries-esque in that simple, slightly baggy way. It's a great go-to outfit during this cold weather when paired with 120 denier tights (brr!) and a slouchy cardigan.
love the dress, sexy and classy! the heels go so well
ReplyDeleteohk i adore your blog! and i love these shoes!!

I think it looks great! And, the shape is definitely going to be comfortable. You should do a bold necklace with it if you would want to dress it up. :)
ReplyDeletelove the shoes too
ReplyDeletethose green shoes are so cute!! where did you get them?
ReplyDeletevery cool, stevie! completely agree, the skin tight velvet look is everywhere, love your looser style.
ReplyDeleteamaziiing :)
ReplyDeleteby the way, I'd like so much to work at topshop (you get discounts as a worker, don't you? probably the best of it)
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! What a find xox
ReplyDeleteI always wear a black velvet dress for christmas, although mine is a swingy 50s one.
ReplyDeletei absolutely adore the shoes!! gorgeous colour and the dress is lovely. i have to say i'm not the biggest velvet body con fan either so it is refreshing to see a much more casual one
