Throughout the pretty epic fail that was my birthday shopping trip, I did pick up a couple of dresses in Primark of all places. One was the summery, Prada-esque, beach print dress and the other was this one. It's not at all like something I would usually pick up, but I envisioned the colour looking good with a summer tan and it being comfy, and flowy etc. When I tried it on I found, as it goes with Primark, that the fit was really off. The sizing seems right, but there's too much material in all the wrong places which makes it unflattering. With my hat, I feel quite Vivienne at the polo in Pretty Woman, but that gave me enjoyment for all of five seconds.

Speaking of that scene in Pretty Woman, this Topshop dress always reminds me of it.
Verdict on my dress: it's going back.

I definitely find Primark dresses fit very strangely too I don't think yours looks bad though and it's a gorgeous colour at least :) I like the belt also I love a nice waist-cinching belt (now I sound like Gok wan lol) xx
ReplyDeleteI rather like that colour, it is very pretty. And I have entirely the wrong proportions for Primark...actually for most shops to be honest.
ReplyDeleteI really like the colour on you, I find Primark stuff really bizarrely fitting too, very odd!
