The holiday dress

Have you ever found a dress and just known it's going to be the one? I had an epiphany moment in Warehouse a week or two before my recent holiday when I was on the lookout for a 'evening' dress that I could pack easily in my suitcase without getting crinkled and still look glam at the same time. 

This navy Grecian style beauty was the perfect answer - with a jersey underlay and a soft chiffon on top, it took up next to no room, but was perfect for a night out. The fact it wasn't too clingy also helped with those 'oh god, I've even too many Turkish pancakes' moments which don't do your body confidence too much good! 

I really love the back detailing on this dress - it's pretty simple overall, but the back really steps it up from just a 'nice' navy dress to something you feel pretty special wearing. I've already worn it to a birthday party since getting back, and I can see it lasting well through the party season this Christmas! 

At £55, it's a pretty good wardrobe staple to buy. If like me, you're a bit more pear shaped, you might want to size up to stop it clinging too much on the bottom and as the top is quite drapey, you won't need to worry about it looking too big in contrast. 

You can find the Strip Back Dress online and in store at Warehouse now, and lots more of their dresses online. What do you think of this dress?
