I can't believe how lucky we've been with the weather recently. Every day after work I've been going straight into the garden to relax in the sun, get some Vitamin D and read a bit more Harry Potter on my Kindle. I can barely remember the last time I actually ate dinner inside. What a wild life I lead. When we did decide to venture further than our sun trap garden at the weekend I had the perfect dress to wear - the eBay button front midi dress.
If you're in the Mrs Gloss and the Goss group on Facebook then you'll definitely have seen these dresses. A summer dress for less than £9, that's not actually see-through, seems like something hard to come by. I couldn't quite believe how good quality the dress was, considering I paid £8.19 and it arrived after just 2 weeks. The dress is a thick material, has a stretch back and is true to size. It's a nice length on me and I'm 5 foot 3, it doesn't drown me at all. The fulled in waist is really flattering and the button front and stripes are totally on trend.
I love how simple this dress is for just throwing on. I wore it with a simple pair of rose gold sandals from New Look and my trusty sunglasses. I felt really put together and reckon this would be a good outfit for anything from work to cocktails with the girls, as well as wondering around the shops and stopping off for an ice cream. Although the dress is a good thickness I'd still recommend wearing white or nude underwear and a strapless bra is best for wearing with the thin straps of the dress.
Now that I know the dress is worth the price tag I'm very tempted to head back to eBay and buy some of the other designs. I think a floral one would be good for holidays and a more colourful one for something a little less 'workwear'. So... are you tempted yet?
