I'd heard murmurs that the ivory dress with black lace bows (from Christmas) had been redesigned in black with cream bows and here it is. It looks gorgeous and I must admit, I always feel a little self conscious in mine because it's such a light colour so I'm sure I'll be much comfier in the black.
The range consists of 6 dresses and as usual is vintage inspired whilst picking up on favourite looks from previous collections. I absolutely must have this floral one, yummy! 
I will possibly be able to resist this red one because of the colour clashing with my hair (See that? That's called willpower!).
I don't know what the skirt of this dress looks like, but the top is strappy which I usually avoid too (because with big boobs you just have to wear a cardi over it and it kinda defeats being a 'summer' dress).
On the Telegraph site, they also said "an update of last season's polka-dot dress, in a romantic black-on-white pin-dot". Now there wasn't a polka dot dress in last seasons PL collection as far as I remember, the one that immediately springs to mind is my all-time favourite, the sheer blue with large white spots (fyi I would looove that in another colour or two), which is very old from the 2nd or 3rd collection. The description sounds more like a small polka dot though and I don't recall one like that. Hmmm. Without images, I'll just have to speculate and by my calculations there should be another mystery dress too which I couldn't find pics of. Not long to go now though!

I've never really liked any of the Pearl Lowe collections. There's always something a little off about every dress that makes it not to my taste :c
ReplyDeleteI love the gingham bow there, and that floral dress could be pretty in real life, but i don;t own any of them as yet,have always been a little put off by them in the flesh. Daisy is beautiful, though!
ReplyDeleteHmmm not to taken by these yet...I'll have to see them on the site first to get a better picture of lengths and stuff. That floral one looks quite long, I do want some longer dresses for the summer (is it just me, or are all the summer dresses soooooo short? As a result I always wear leggings under them because I feel way to exposed if I don't...!) but if they're over the knee they don't suit me because I'm so short they make me look shorter, specially if it's a really full skirt (which I happen to like). So they need to hit right on the knee or a little above.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I do need dresses! I've only been buying shoes lately and no clothes at all!
Rai+Char-These dresses have always been my weakness. The quality and/or fit has been a little iffy on some of the more recent items though.
ReplyDeleteMarlein-I totally agree, I own very few dresses that I would consider wearing with tights or bare legs as I feel far too exposed in many of them. I don't want to wear leggings all summer, but find sometimes the more summery the dress, the shorter it gets, so I have to! I just hope the floral one isn't too light cotton like the navy bird/floral one. I just prefer a heavier, hanging fabric, whereas the navy one always clings to tights and feels like I'm wearing a slip sometimes rather than a dress.
Oooh so exciting! Thanks for the info (as one of your Pearl Lowe search followers!!!) I love the floral one and the gingham bow one!!! Not so sure about the red one and didn't like the material of the bow one before! I really like her dresses and the ones I managed to get in the January sale (£9 each!!!!) all fitted perfectly so am tres excited!!!!
ReplyDeleteAny idea what time these go on sale on Thursday? I need these dresses in my life!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog! LOVE IT BTW.

just wondering about the sizes in the bow dress? I'm in between a size 14/16 and was wondering if the dress gives a bit as they only have the size 14? Think I'd cry if I ordered it and it didn't fit!

Lotty, I usually find the Pearl Lowe dresses quite generous, I can be between an 18-20 but I find the bow dress quite small I'm afraid. I actually had to size down to a 16 in the lace collar one from last seasons collection and usually her 18's are a little big, but the bow one is a snug fit.
