Christmas party dress

Screen Shot 2015-12-09 at 20.30.11I got this from asos.com the other day for £48 and I absolutely adore it and have worn it loads with spotty tights, biker boots and a parka.

It completely works. The sizing is also very flatteringly generous – I am a standard 10-12 and I took this in a size 8.

    Are you sure? I once wore a velvet dress to a grad dance thing, and my date look horrified when he picked me up.

    It’s gorgeous. I COVET. But WHAT does one wear at Christmas when one is 6months pregnant? Everything is in effing satin or has bows on, so one looks like an outsize present. I loath maternity clothes. They all look so NAFF. Anyway, I love the blog, Esther. My pregnancy rage should be over when the new kid starts sleeping through the night. So about 2019.

      When I was pregnant I favoured a black stretchy dress that came down to the knees with a very large, loud necklace…

    What the quality of the velvet like? This looks gorgeous but have found some asos fabric a bit shonky in the past.

      yes it’s quite shonky but it’s only £48 and you can’t really tell x
