A photo of me (short, fat, pale caucasian, brunette hair) stands facing the camera in a black dress with white spots and red flower prints, bare legs and black ankle boots.

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve all had a great week. It’s been really interesting reading your entries to the Volup2 competition and you’ve said some lovely things on my 3rd birthday post so thank you! I pick the winners (competitions 1 – 9 will be picked at random, the Volup2 winner will be chosen by me and Diana) on Sunday afternoon, so make sure your name’s down if you want to win.

A slightly overdue review item from me today. I’d had my eye on this dress for a while from Yours Clothing. As you may know I used to work for them, and my old boss there said they’d send me something as a treat (I know, I’m lucky!) and of course I asked for this!

 I was forewarned that the dress runs very small – I was advised to size up twice, so I tentatively took a size 24. I find it a teensy bit snug around the bottom, but that’s ok. I really like the look, although I prefer it without the belt (the belt does fit though!) but that might be because I’m feeling a bit anti-belts at the minute. God, my legs are so pale they’re borderline blue!

My only fault with the dress is that the lining is rather short, so I do worry about flashing my bum a little – especially as I’ve stopped wearing bike shorts as I finally got round to buying Secret Shield and it’s as good as everyone says.

I really do adore the dipped back dresses though, so thanks everyone at Yours for letting me have this! If you fancy it, it’s currently in the Yours sale, although it looks like it’s selling pretty fast!

Thanks loves, and I’ll see you soon.

      You mean the lining? Yeah it stops round the middle and you can see! Oh well!

    Oh my word i thought i was the only person in the world who wore bike shorts under dresses to stop the dreaded chub rub. Will have to check out the secret shield! I’m usually just a lurker but had to comment :) Gorgeous dress by the way looks so much better on you than the catalogue picture

      Haha, noooo. I either wear sheer tights or Evans’ comfort shorts. I never realised the difference it makes to not be wearing them in the middle of summer every day, it’s awesome. And hello! Yay for non-lurking! :)

    Really cute! It’s not a print that I would have picked up, but seeing it on you, it really is fun and chic. Your boots are REALLY cute too. I can never seem to find ones that go up towards the ankle the appropriate amount!

    Smile! That dress looks great on you.
