This month has been quite a busy social one for me with weddings and birthdays to be celebrated. I am one of those people who can't wear the same dress twice, more so when it is an event to be celebrated with a similar group of friends. Thankfully House of Fraser were on hand to help me out with my little predicament and with these two fabulous dresses from the plus size dresses range.
The Dorothy Perkins Leaf Print Sateen Fit And Flare Dress is shown on the left is currently on sale here for just £20 and it is an absolute bargain. When wearing it, there is a zip which runs the length of the back, it has a rounded collar, short sleeves and is Fit and Flare designed meaning that it pulls the waist with a ribbon is and is really flattering. I really love the leaf design which also uses the colours blue and yellow and can, therefore, be accessorised really easily.
The Black and white floral Samya Pleated Botanical Print Dress is again a dress I absolutely adore. As with the first dress, it is again a fit-and-flare style dress featuring a belted waist and box pleated skirt making it really flattering. It uses a back zip fastener, has a rounded collar and is also sleeveless.
As a black and white dress, it can be as dressed up as casually worn as you find comfortable.

With both dresses what I found is the sizing was almost spot on. Having the belted waist meant I could pull them in at the sides where they were both slightly too big and it then lifted the dresses so they didn't just hang. When I am buying a dress, for me it is all about fitting around the chest area because if it doesn't fit there, then it can really make an outfit look horrendous.
I am not usually a fan of zips on the back of dresses because of the coldness against the skin, but with these two, I didn't notice them throughout either day of wearing them, nor did I feel overly hot and bothered.
My favourite of the two dresses is the first one. It fits much more snugly, it is fairly bright and cheerful and I loved the detail on the hem, which I feel complimented the dress.
Have you seen any dresses you have really liked of late?
