With my new Faye Floral Doll Dress from http://www.Collectif.co.uk !!!! Anyone who may have seen it before and thought it was a bit pricey at £115.00, it is currently on sale at £65.00, and I have to say, in my humble opinion, it is well worth it!!! I managed to pick mine up during their sale just after Chrimbo with their 50% offer code, and if I thought I could get away with wearing it every day I would, but I think it may be a bit OTT for the office (although, it’s never stopped me before I guess!).
I went for the 3x, and I believe this is considered to be around a UK size 24, and I found it super comfortable. This is one of only 3 items Collectif are currently offering in the larger sizes (they usually stop at a 22 which is not usually quite big enough for me), and I am really really really hoping they start to do more (please Collectif)!!!! I wore it to my very special friend’s Casino themed joint birthday party with her Sister and Dad, and it served me well both at the gambling tables and on the dance floor, rocking out to Living on a Prayer and Proud Mary!!!
Unfortunately I did not manage to get a full length pic of me in the dress, but here is a head shot of me and my lovely friend (she wore a very glamourous ensemble from http://www.simplybe.co.uk).
And here is the link to The Collectif website to see the full length dress, however, no pic can give this dress the justice it so very much deserves.

So, I am now trying to find as many functions I can where I can wear this adorable dress, so please invite me to any parties, weddings, christenings etc possible! Thank you… Lol!

I recently bought this dress http://www.dollydagger.co.uk/proddetail.asp?n=Bettie-Page-Black-Alika-1950s-Vintage-Style-Circle-Dress&prod=BPDRS1BLK which is pretty similar so can’t justify two, but I’m gutted this wasn’t on sale when I was looking!
