Well
this is long overdue! Sorry the third and final instalment has taken so long. I
have been waiting to move, then packing, then moving, then unpacking and
settling into the new home, so I haven't had much time. If you're wondering what the heck this is, you can find the details here, the first instalment here and the second here. I headed to H&M and
Evans for the final Pixie Maxi Challenge...
H&M
A
word on H&M. I tried three dresses, but in truth didn't like any of them. I
always want to be honest with my blog and I just couldn't post about three
dresses I didn't love or feel I would ever actually wear. But for reference,
below is a picture of the three dresses. Feel free to browse their website if
you like them, but they're just not for me at all.
EVANS
This
dress is super cute and I love the stripes. I used to steer clear of stripes back
in the day, but with growing confidence I care less about the things I used to
worry about wearing. I wish I could see myself in a size 18 in this one (there
were no size 18s in store) because the 20 is too loose around my waist so
doesn't look right on me as a result. There material is stretchy so there is
plenty of boob room and it feels really light, perfect for warmer weather. The
only thing I would worry about is the possible sweat patches wearing grey tends
to attract, but overall I really like this. It comes in sizes 14-30/32 (as
mentioned, I’m wearing a 20 here) and made from 96% Viscose and 4% Elastane.
Oh
how I love this dress! The colours are incredible and I felt great in this. The
material is super light and didn't cling as much as I thought it would (there
is nothing worse than being hot and wearing clothes that cling to your skin).
There is an elasticated neckline that gives the impression of a halter, and the
dress falls nicely. I thought I would need a belt with this but it would be
totally unnecessary. I really wanted to buy this yesterday but a £49.50 price
tag held me back. It is lovely though so maybe come payday.... It comes in
sizes 14-30/32 (I’m wearing an 18 here) and made from 97% Viscose and 3% Elastane.
Well
this is a little different. This is a basic black maxi dress, but has a sheer blue draping that falls just below the knee on my 5'1" frame. This
is lovely and airy, and I think this would be great for a simple beach look. It
comes in sizes 14-30/32 (I’m wearing a 16 here) and made from 96% Viscose and
4% Elastane.
This
is another great beach dress. I really like the butterfly print and the tie
back. It also has a shirred back which is why I was able to size down.
I love the button detail on the bust and because of the shirred back there is
no gaping, hurrah! Again, the material feels light and airy, I wouldn't
have a problem with over-heating during the day. It comes in dual sizing from
14/16-30/32 (I’m wearing a 14/16 here) and made from 100% Cotton.
So
there you have it. My maxi challenge is complete and Evans did it for me in
regards to the dresses themselves and their lengths. It was also a reminder to
me to try things on because in Evans alone, I was multiple sizes. Try things on
ladies!
There will be a new challenge coming up very soon so keep a look out for that!
‘til
next time.
Love
and hugs,
Isha
