Dresses of the Week

Some lovely dresses this week: fit and flare, floral print, tea dress:

**RESERVED**

Early 90’s Ditsy daisy floral print fit and flare dress

Cut out back detail

BHS

Size: 10

Bust:32, Waist: 29, Hips:33, Length:34

Good Condition, beginning to show signs of wear around seams

So BHS doesn’t have the most exciting reputation, this dress is pretty, flattering and embodies this (as last and probably next) summer’s trends of floral print, fit and flare and open back.

**BUY ME**

Early 90’s Roses floral print fit and flare dress

St. Michel for M&S

Size: 10-12

Bust:32, Waist:28, Hips:36, Length:34

Good Vintage Condition, appears to be wearing a little thin in two small patches on skirt but nothing noticeable

*Fun Fact*

St. Michel for M&S used to be a well trusted staple of good quality women’s ware…unfortunately in the late 90’s M&S adopted a policy of pushing up prices and to boost profit margins as a result of which they lost a heck load of customers and in 2001 they were forced to rebrand, dropping the St. Michel label that had been in production since the original Mr Marks introduced it in 1926.

*Fun Fact* In his prime David Emmanuel was a very successful designer, even co-designing Princess Diana’s wedding dress (yes…THAT dress) unfortunately he has some what fallen from grace of late and now designs for Bon Marche. This dress, however, is from his heyday when his designs were still good quality and his customers a little bit wealthy.
