I don't know what the twist is exactly, but this is quite an old but much loved dress that always makes me feel like I'm one of those Russian Babushka dolls. And you know what is amazing: until I saw these photos I'd never noticed that there was a large yellow flower on the front of the dress... I thought it had the spots and geometric patterns all over it?!!
This outfit seemed like a good antedote to all the masculine chic looks I've been wearing recently; my legs need to remember what freedom feels like now and then (I still kept them clad in tights though). With all the warm weather that's creeping up on us they might even find out what air feels like before long... not without a spray tan first however: things that white might blind you lovely people ;)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
So glad you love it Sacramento - you were the one who said you liked me in dresses, so I deliberately picked this one following your comment! I guess I made a good choice...! xoxo
DeleteWhat a pretty dress! I've never seen one similar. It is so unique.
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbi - I couldn't find one even vaguely similar to provide a link for so yes, it must be quite unique!! C x
DeleteSuch a striking graphic dress! I love that you've made a spaghetti strapped dress work for cooler weather without putting a cardi over it. The white shirt buttoned all the way with a brooch is a lovely touch and looks so smart.
ReplyDeleteThanks Van! I have to admit I've never worn a shirt underneath it before - all the fabulous outfit ideas I see on blogs must have rubbed off on me ;)) Catherine x
DeleteThe dress is gorgeous. I can understand why you love it so...and seeing the flower for the first time, is a wonderful touch!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri - yep I really couldn't believe I'd never noticed the flower before...!!! C x
DeleteThat dress is fabulous! Such a great print..even if it's a giant yellow flower :)

Aww thank you Natasha! I'm really feeling the love for this dress today!! c x
DeleteTruly a beautiful dress on you. It suits your coloring so well. I love how well all of your clothes fit. Do you have them tailored?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, lovely Adrienne: no I don't have any clothes tailored, not ever I think?! I think because I have so many clothes I have a lot that will fit me depending on my slight weight fluctuation (bit heavier at Xmas, bit lighter in the summer, the usual)!! Catherine x
DeleteLove love LOVE this dress. The colors actually remind me of an Andean skirt I bought in Peru...
ReplyDeleteI can imagine my dress coming from Peru, Susan! (It was bought from an online retailer, haha.) Thanks for your lovely comment! C xoxo
DeleteSuch a beautiful dress on you...paired with the gorgeous countryside...fashion post perfection! Kudos my dear!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a lovely comment, Tamera! C x
DeleteIf you ever decide you don't need this dress anymore...send it to ME!!! This is one of my favourite dresses I've ever seen, I just love that Russian flair and the pretty colours and geometrics. Way to style it simply so the fabulous patterns and colours stand out.

DeleteYou do look a bit like a Russian doll! That dress is just stunning. And, as ever, I am extremely envious of all the beautiful backdrops you get to take your photos against :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Stacey - and likewise I envy so many backdrops that are totally different to my English countrysides. Grass is always greener...! C x
