You’ve chosen the striped midi dress, what do you love about it and why?
It’s the perfect brunch dress that hugs me in all the right places. It can be dressed down for the day or paired with heels for an evening out.
What does this dress say about you?
I’m fierce and empowered. Ready to take on the next chapter in my life.
What style tips would you give for choosing the perfect dress for a special event?
Cut outs are very in this season and can add some sass to the plainest of outfits.
Less is more. If you are showing your legs, make sure you cover your top half and vice versa. It keeps your outfit looking chic and elegant.
You're going on a beach holiday this summer, what 4 dresses do you take with you?
I’m taking a crochet knit dress to wear at the pool bar, a lightweight floral dress for beach lunches, a fitted maxi dress for evening dinners, and a kaftan for lounging by the pool.
You’ve chosen the ruffle rust mini dress, what do you love about it and why?
I chose this dress because I love the colour, it’s neutral but vibrant. In addition to this, I’ve discovered that it is very versatile and can be dressed up or down.
How would you style the same dress for both a casual and smarter event?
For a casual event I would style it with some white sneakers and a backpack, and for a smarter event id style it with boots (maybe cowboy boots) and a black leather jacket.
How do you describe your style? Do you like to experiment when it comes to dresses?
I’d say my style is chic but experimental in small doses. I like to feel comfortable and stylish at the same time.
You’re heading to the races in a couple of months, what dress do you wear and why?
I’d wear a neutral coloured, mini dress, I’d style it with some heels and a small clutch, oh and a hat! Can’t forget the hat!
You’ve chosen the black one shoulder, bodycon dress, what do you love about it?
I’m always drawn to figure hugging LBDs. Anything that compliments curves and accentuates your natural form is one for me. As a size 26 girl, I grew up covering up or wearing oversized pieces because there weren’t many flattering options (let’s never make low rise hipsters a thing again).
I’m all about styles that work for my body. I love the small details on this dress, the cut-out on the waist and tie on the hip, they add a subtle but smart wow factor.
How would you style this for smart and casual?
Heels and an oversized clutch, with a blazer draped over the shoulders for a smart event. For casual, depending on the season, I’d add roman lace up sandals and an oversized, crisp, white shirt.
You’re heading to the races soon, what are you wearing?
I’ll wear a midi, neutral toned dress, as its sophisticated and elegant. As the UK (hopefully) will see some sunshine in spring, lighter colours are better.
You’ve chosen the printed skater dress, what do you love about it and why?
I love the floaty style of it, it’s perfect for hot summer days!
How would you style the same dress for both a casual and smarter event?
For casual I’d pair it with trainers or sandals with a tote bag and for a smarter event with a mini handbag and heels.
How do you describe your style? Do you like to experiment when it comes to dresses?
I’d say my style is comfy and casual. With dresses I usually like to find one that feels good to wear no matter what, so I can style it for different occasions and feel comfortable
You’re heading to the races in a couple of months, what dress do you wear and why?
Probably a structured blazer dress with heels.
You’ve chosen the black halter neck dress, what do you love about it and why?
Black dresses are such a classic. You can accessorize with any colour so the styling options are limitless. This dress is also made from cotton and linen which makes it the perfect summer dress. I also love the halter neck.
What do you love about getting dressed up?
After coming out of lockdown, spending everyday in loungewear, I really appreciate the opportunity and feeling of getting dressed up.
What does this dress say about you?
Classic, feminine and chic.
