Dream Dress: Dorothy Perkins Blue Striped Dress

This blue and cream dress may have totally passed me by had it not been for my friend Laura (also known musically as She Makes War) tweeting a picture of herself twirling about in it. And now I want it. It's a perfect summery sailor stripy sex mix of things that all begin with S.

It looks a little bit casual to wear for those smart/casual things that everyone has in Summer. But for BBQs and anywhere you might get grass inbetween your toes it's just the ticket. I love the cap sleeves (always super flattering) and there's a cute little row of buttons going up the side of the bodice. The stripes going in opposite directions stop if from looking like you're going to a fancy dress boat party. But you probably could wear it to a fancy dress boat party too. Just don't wear a sailor hat. Please.

And it's cotton. And it's only £35. Dorothy Perkins, we're going to have to watch out for you. You're getting cool again, aren't you?

  1. They've got some good stuff at the moment. And who needs more of an excuse to treat themselves than a 25% off code...? Code: DPVIPD until Sunday!
