more pix of me at the Secret Lair wearing Prophecy
This is what wearing this dress made me feel...
"The voices of the spirits foretelling the formidable future bring dark clouds across the sky. Slip your bare hands into your lush red pockets and pull your hood up to hide your face in the forest. The lush red lining makes you feel warm and protected and we drift into another realm"
- Soft stretchy luscious velour
- Pockets, a hood and long sleeves.....perfection!
- Pair with over the knee socks and a long statement necklace
- This dress is a small make so sizes will be a little smaller then you think
- I chose the L because I wanted it to feel like it was wrapping around me like a cosy jacket
- The dress is a 70's shape and doesn't hug the waist it falls straight more like a shift dress
- As this is normally $99 and is on sale we aren't offering any returns so please check the size guide.
If You Fall Between a size 18 & 20 You're In Luck
We have size 19's left in the famous Long Rose Bolero!
The Long Rose Bolero is super flattering on plus sizes and is on point with the Velvet Trend for winter
- Soft stretch velvet
- Beautifully shaped velour coat for casual or formal
- Like being wrapped in a velvet hug
- Soft fold back collar
- Flared skirt to give a lovely balanced shape
- High waistline to fall nicely over rounder tummies.
