Being
a vintage bunny means I'm always on the lookout for new exciting brands that I
can indulge in my 40s/50s yearnings. Voodoo Vixen have been around for a little
while but when they teamed up with Simply Be to showcase some dresses from
their new plus size range, I couldn't resist. I ordered two dresses; this is
the first of them and I wore it to Simply Be's Spring/Summer 2015 Preview
event:
Dress: Voodoo Vixen (via
Simply Be)
Cardigan: H&M
Leggings: South (via Very)
Shoes: Simply Be
One
thing I was concerned about was the fit as I'm not usually a fan of dual
sizing. In my experience, dual sizing has often resulted in an ill-fitting
garment, particularly around the bust and waist, and as someone who wears
18-20, I was really unsure on the size I should order. In the end I went for
16/18 and held my breath as I tried it on, but I needn't have worried because
it is the most perfect fit. It genuinely feels like a custom made dress and I
was so incredibly pleased with the 50s inspired design and cut.
At
first glance, the pattern looks polka dot (and you all know how I feel about polka dots!) but actually the pattern consists of
gorgeous little flowers. The pockets are a lovely touch and the teardrop
cutouts on the pockets and along the neckline, are beautiful. I teamed it with a burgundy cardigan (the burgundy is currently sold out online, but there are plenty in store), a pair of leggings and my favourite flats.
I'm
now a fully-fledged Voodoo Vixen fan and I can only hope they add more plus size dresses to this already fabulous range.
'til
next time!
Love
and hugs,
