Woot; bring on Burns Night! Thanks to Long Tall Sally, I’ll be shaking a country-dancing leg in style. The Lace Wrap Dress is properly stunning, and I feel amazing in it. This was just me having a quick try-on, I’ve not even any face or hair on yet, and I’m ready to party!
I’m not one that’s usually keen on a figure-hugging silhouette – even in my new slimlined version I’d rather there was something to hide behind. But this dress is ridiculously well cut and astonishingly flattering.
Honestly – I feel amazing ever single time it slithers over my head.
The lace provides a really pretty cover for the upper arms, and the sweetheart neckline is cut into a deep V which is flattering without being revealing.
It sits elegantly just below the knee for me (at 5’11”), and is an occasion dress that has immediately become a wardrobe favourite that I will just wear and wear.
For Burns night it was quite tartan-enough, mind,m so I sewed a large tartan rosette (go me!), which I attached to a belt of black sparkly velvet ribbon. And we danced all night!
The Lace Wrap Dress is available in red or black, is available in sizes 10 to 22 from Long tall sally for and can be yours for £95.
ETA – June 2015 the dress has now been reduced – red is left in sizes 10-16 and £55, and the black is only available in 10 and 12 at just £45!
