Lovedrobe heart back ribbed skater dress

Hiya! In this blog post I'm going to be talking about the Lovedrobe heart back ribbed skater dress which I bought in the Lovedrobe sale a couple of weeks ago. I'm tired and hungover in these photos and I look it too.

Lovedrobe heart back ribbed skater dress - fit and comfort

I'm wearing a size 26 in this dress which is the largest size they sell on their website. They do a separate range for Simply Be which goes up to a size 32. It's a little on the small side around my bust but I never find that a problem (hah) and my boobs look great in it, if I do say so myself. I would say it's slightly generously sized for a size 26 as I generally take a size 28 in items with little or no stretch. It has more room in the waist and obviously the hips, as it's a skater style. I managed to eat one of my aunt's enormous roast dinners in this, so it's more accommodating than I'd thought!

The armpits are cut very high on this dress so if you're someone who likes a baggy fit under the arms I would avoid this dress. The bottom of the armhole is literally right at the top of my armpit. It doesn't affect comfort, but if the arms were cut a fraction higher it would do, so I would say someone of my size with bigger arms than me would struggle in this dress. The fabric is thick, heavy and has very slight natural stretch to it, probably because of the ribbed fabric. It has no elastane, being 100% polyester. I'm 5ft 5 and it comes just above my knee front and back and is thoughtfully cut so the back isn't shorter over large plus size bums. It does look a bit red or even coral in some lights but it is hot pink. I love the gathering of the skirt just under the bust and I think this dress is going to be a favourite. I love pink - alongside yellow it's my happy colour - so any time I need a pick up I'll put this dress on and it'll be an instant mood booster.

I think this is a quite versatile dress as you can dress it down as I have with trainers and a bomber jacket, but you could just as well wear it with a fascinator, a shrug and some chunky heels or embellished flats to a wedding.
