I was asked by George at Asda to do a really interesting style post that I thought could be really useful to people so I jumped at the chance.
I was asked to take a dress that I would wear to a Christmas party and then restyle the dress so it was suitable for something else. I wear a size 32 and I didn’t find dresses in my size that I would wear to a party so I checked the size down, then the size down again, and again etc til I found a gorgeous dress in a SIZE 24!!! that I would wear to a party. Now I know my body very well and I have a good idea of what I will and wont be able to get on. I thought the size 24 was going to be a push but I didn’t want to do the post unless it was something that I would actually wear.
What it was and what it became:
The fit of the dress on its own may not be for everybody but there are certain places I would definitely wear it on its own (and plan to) but I love that the dress is tight enough that it is completely comfortable worn with the skirt and doesn’t feel like you have a whole dress on underneath.
I chose to restyle the dress to make it suitable work attire and I think I did a pretty good job. I was very happy with the second look and will definitely be wearing it all together again.
I was able to create the second look with the blazer, the shoes and the bag all being George at Asda pieces.
I’m going to leave you with a couple of pictures of the work wear look and links to all the items.
Animal print dress
Textured Blazer
Pointed flats
Satchel similar
I really hope you liked this post because I really enjoyed doing it.
I love how you’ve styled it! In the work outfit it looks more like a body suit instead, I love the mix of prints together xxx
YOUR FACE IS BEAT FOR THE GODS BTW.
You look stunning!!! The dress looks so sexy on your and I love how you’ve paired it with the skirt too (which I need).
GORGEOUS!
Clever – very clever! I have a skater dress that is far too short for work but I love the neckline so I frequently wear it beneath a 50s full skirt – great minds think alike?
