Falling like Dominos

I have been stalking eBay like a woman possessed recently in search of the Beth Ditto domino dress from her collection a few years ago with Evans. I hadn't been able to find the right size,when i did the bids were so high i couldn't afford them or like a complete idiot i forgot that a listing was ending.
The lovely Rebecca came to my rescue and asked if i wanted to buy her dress that she had just won from eBay but didn't fit right, i didn't have to be asked twice and said yes straight away!


Ever since i saw Lolly in her domino dress i knew i needed it in my life she looked absolutely amazing! So another big thank you to Rebecca for thinking of me before selling the dress to someone else :)

This dress is just perfect i love it so much ! There are no labels at all in the dress so i can't say what size it is but it seems to come up small from the reviews i've read so if you do spot one on eBay i think it may be best to size up.

The dress is made from a jersey material with a stitched in lining which i think helps it to sit right. I could talk about this dress all day the sleeves, the length, the print its just amazing!
I wore this dress to Lolly's birthday lunch and it was really comfy to wear and make me feel great.

The tights are from Primark ages ago as was the headscarf and i added a handmade brooch. The Little Mermaid is my favourite disney film and Ursula is one of my favourite characters so i made her into a brooch.

Do you obsess over an item until you own it ?

Leopard and Disney

This dress is one that i bought from eBay just after Christmas i won the bid at £6.99 which made it much cheaper than the buy it now options of this dress that were also being sold.


The dress was brand new and original from New Look i had bought i burguandy one from them a few months earlier and found it very easy to wear so though it was a good time to pick up another colour at less that half the price.

I got this in a size 22 and it fit well but its very short on my 5 4' frame, this is definitely not a dress i can bend over in! Its made of a thick jersey so its perfect for the colder weather and it came with the cute leopard print belt too. I paired it with my thick black tights and handmade Little Mermaid brooch.

I also love how the dress has half sleeves so you don't need to wear a cardigan or coat, so many plus size dresses seem to be sleeveless which is great in the summer but often means lots of layering in the winter time.
Heres a close up of my Ariel brooch that i made over the weekend isn't she a cutie?!
