You know how sometimes you look at something and think- where has this been my whole life? And how that little something can fill a need you never even knew you had?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, this dress did it for me!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I recently had to part with one of my favourite basic black jersey dresses from a large fashion chain store, which was my go to piece when I needed to look well put together in a hurry, and which I could wear with both flats or heels. I was prepared to just go pick up another, identical one, but frankly, if I did it now, I would\u00a0<\/span>probably never wear it again, now that I have this shift dress.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I do admit I was a little unsure how it would fit me, and if a shift dress would be flattering to my somewhat curvier figure, but as soon as I put it on, I saw why the lovely lady from Rose and Brimstone sent it to me to model. The Buffalo Collared dress is a dream come true! The soft cotton fabric and the ruched high waist give it a lovely and flattering flow. A longer length of this dress would run the risk of making it look somewhat shapeless and frumpy, but Tallulah’s Threads designer made the right decision to keep it mini-skirt length. While that isn’t usually my cup of tea, as I am somewhat self-conscious about my cyclist’s thighs, there is something about the cut of this dress that makes me completely forget my shyness!<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as the technical side of the dress goes- You will need to wash it on cold and gentle, and as it is non-stretch cotton, you will have to iron it. However, it is quick and easy to iron, so I usually do it as soon as it is washed and mostly dry. <\/span><\/p>\n

As we stepped out to shoot it, we ran into one of my favourite neighbours- Heike the German Shepard, who was just coming back from taking her human out for a nice walk, and she stopped a little to see what we are doing, and join us for a few photos. Isn’t she just stunning?<\/span><\/p>\n

Final dress verdict is as follows (scale of 5):<\/span><\/p>\n

Fit ***** <\/span><\/p>\n

Flatter **** <\/span><\/p>\n

Ease of maintenance ***<\/span><\/p>\n

Ironing Required: YES<\/span><\/p>\n

Pockets: NO<\/span><\/p>\n
