I have been on the search for the perfect red dress for what feels like half my life. I've still not found it. I came pretty close to it with this dress from People Tree.
It's pretty, it's fitted on top, flared on the bottom like I wanted. It's fair trade and organic and it's also £75 which is a little over budget. Still if nothing else turns up, I may just buy it.
Why do I want a red dress? Mainly because I have some pretty cute shoes that need a red dress to show them off at their best. Secondly, because red makes me feel fabulous. I feel so glamourous in a red dress, it's a feel good colour! Well it is for me anyhow and so the quest for a gorgeous, flattering red dress continues.
You can always find pretty red dresses at Net-a-Porter but of a course for a pretty price and non are particularly practical!
DKNY £270
Rachel Gilbert £740
Issa £620
Coast always has pretty dress but again neither of them are practical as I am really looking for everyday wear however I do adore that second Coast dress and I'm always in the market for an evening dress or two!
Coast £150
Coast £150
These two dresses from Oasis are a bit better for day wear, but neither of them are perfect.
Oasis £60
Oasis £50
And the search goes on.
Will I ever find one that is perfect for me? Yes I will! I refuse to be beaten but it may take some time. I'm incredibly fussy which doesn't really help my plight, but one day I'll find what I am looking for. If you do see something I might like - let me know!
In the meantime, is there a colour that makes you feel fabulous? Are you even a dress person?
love & kisses
I'm also a fan of a red dress - have you looked at the Vivien of Holloway dresses? I have a black one and am presently hankering after red :)

Maybe a bit more dressy than you want, but they are amazing :)
Dorothy Perkins have a really flattering red cross-over style:

I really want it!
I love the idea of dresses but I always find the reality a little uncomfortable. Maybe I've just never found the right one or maybe it's just because I'm not used to them and should wear them more often to 'practise'. As for colour, mine is purple. My wedding dress was purple so it always makes me feel good, though it has been my fave colour for a long time!
ReplyDeleteRed it is for me , too! And deep blue. But my favourite of all is red and I always prefer to buy clothes in red colour
ReplyDeleteI'm with Linz on the Vivien of Holloway dresses. They are totally worth the money!
