Ann Harvey

I was recently contacted by Ann Harvey asking if I wanted to review a piece from their collection. I had spoken to the team at Plus North and they were lovely so I said yes and sent my choice of dress over. I wasn't sure what to go for so I decided on this maxi dress. I went for a 22 but this is a bit big on me so I have had to belt it. I would advise to size down at least 1 size if your planning on getting this dress. I think if I'd have tried this in a 20 it would have been perfect.

I really love the colours of this maxi and I think it will work great in the winter for work with a thick cardigan. The dress is well made and is a really nice soft jersey material which does have some stretch to it. This is available up to a size 30 but would fit larger than that size due to the stretch and the generous cut of this dress.

This maxi comes to just above my ankles and I'm 5 4" so keep that in mind if you are taller and after a floor length dress. The dress does come in under the bust to give it a great shape, so you wouldn't need to add a belt to it.

The bottom half of the dress also has a slight tulip shape to it so it comes in at the bottom which is really unusual and makes this maxi different to any of the others I own. Ann Harvey have a great new collection out so make sure you have a look and I'm sure you'll find something that catches your eye!

I posted recently about my trip to the Simply Be store in Manchester where i got this amazing dress. I was lucky enough to be given a voucher by Simply Be for £50 to use on my visit so i used it to get this dress.

This is the most perfect dress ever, the fit is great and the material is so silky. I hadn't seen this dress online before my store visit so i was really pleased when Jax pointed it out for me to try. I went with a 24 in this dress as it didn't have any stretch so i needed to size up.

I'm 5 4'' and this dress comes right to the floor on me but doesn't drag so it would still work as a maxi for those a bit taller than me. The print is really bright and made me smile as soon as i put it on. I wore this to visit some family when it was super warm last week. The material of the dress is very thin so it works really well as a summer dress.

I did add my favourite denim jacket before i left but it was far too warm to actually keep it on. I haven't worn a denim jacket in years because i could never find one that i loved but when i saw this one is Simply Be earlier this year i fell in love. This jacket is a size 20 as i wanted a fitted look i can still fasten it but it is a little bit of a squeeze.

I really love this outfit and i can see this maxi becoming one of my most worn items. Simply Be have so many amazing pieces in at the minute, so many that my wish list is slightly out of control!

I hope you all have a great weekend!
