Ok, let's get one thing straight. I am not the height designed for when it comes to this dress – the designer's ideal clients are the likes of Grace Jones, Skin from Skunk Anansie and Erin O'Connor (who is already a big fan of London designer Georgia Hardinge). Let me add to that list Florence Welch, who was recently photographed wearing this very AW12 print in a coat and top combo. Anyway, the point is, these are tall women of grand bearing more than capable of carrying off strong colour and print and more importantly lengthy, flowing materials. As I explained in a previous post, some of Georgia's dresses were trailing on the ground on my 5"2 frame at our try-on sesh, so really, this dress is a winner. On a model it's more of a knee-length affair (I'm not going to link to the catwalk version of this look, it's too much for my little heart to bare) on me, as you can see, it's coming in more mid-calf. Moving on, as previously discussed, I have added a pair of Dries van Noten heels (bought in sale), a vintage Oroton mesh evening bag (identical here, though I bargained the price at Spitalfields much lower than this!), an ASOS faux fur jacket (you've seen this in an outfit post before) a vintage/costume jewellery necklace and ring (family gifts, no idea of origin). Plus a dash of red lipstick by the now discontinued Ruby & Millie. And this, my friends, is about as damn glamorous as it gets around here. (In case you're wondering, the do I'm off to tonight is the Great Scot Awards where my hubby will be receiving a music award. :) Very proud!)
