My new Maxi ....

I didn't mention in the previous post but while I was out shopping today I returned 2 dresses from Coast. I originally bought them for a wedding but they just aren't suitable, one is slightly on the big side the other on the small side so they both went back. Anyway, while I was in I noticed this maxi dress in the sale which to be honest I have had my eye on for ages but could never find in my size!


Well today, there it was! I tried it, I liked it, i bought it! It was in the sale from £175 to £85 ... still pricey but I will get my use out of it. One problem though I have pretty big 'girls' if you know what I mean?! It fits up top but with a bra it becomes a little restrictive so I am on the hunt for a seamstress this week to sort it out! Wish me Luck!

I will most likely wear this to a wedding i am going to this weekend but it will be great on holiday with my husband. I thought I would give you an idea of how I will wear this for both occasions. Nothing exciting and to be honest a dress like this doesn't need too much styling as it speaks for itself!



This is roughly how I plan to wear it to this weekends wedding. I will wear wedges or heels to add a bit of height (I am 5'4 so I just get away with a maxi and no more) ... embellished bag and bangles to add a bit of pzazz and possibly some flowers in my hair. It's not my usual wedding guest outfit, it's more of a relaxed chic look.

What do you think of both styles? Any advice on fitting the 'girls' in is most welcome too ;)
