I've had this dress for over a month but have only just captured it in adequate enough daylight to share. I wore this out last week when I went to lunch in my hometown with my friend Abi.
It's a lovely dress and so well made. It's heavy, made of thick layers of chiffon and it has a stretchy lining. It isn't that nasty polyester a lot of garments are lined with - it's a breathable fabric. It's comfortable to wear and can be dressed up or down. It's probably one of the best quality dresses I own. I've been very impressed with Navabi - they don't body shame on social media, they offer free delivery, postage is very quick and it's very much no-fuss online purchasing. Just how it should be.
I'm holding my hair back in most of the shots where I'm facing the wind as it was so fierce on this day. You can see the movement of the dress in a few of the shots too. :) The wind knocked my tripod flying - thank God Canon DSLRs are hardy. I was expecting the worst when it clattered to the ground but it was totally unscathed.
As well as the wrap effect at the bust there's a little peekaboo section, which I'm almost busting out of! I'm wearing the dress in an XL and it fits brilliantly in the waist and hips, but my wide back is straining the confines of the bust. If you're wide in the back or have very large boobs, size up if you can. It has a slight high-low effect at the back, which is always appreciated by me because of my sizeable behind, and often garments are fine at the front and too short at the back. Not in this case.

I'm wearing:
Zizzi wrap effect layered chiffon dress, Navabi
Black glitter cropped cardi, very old Debenhams
Leggings, Very
Shoes, past Matalan
Hobbit door necklace, Christmas gift
Here's a close up of the necklace.
Have you bought anything from Navabi? I will be on the lookout for more pretty things from them, and from Zizzi, now I know the quality is really good.
Thanks for reading! Leah xoxo
