Lindy Bop Francine rose stripe swing plus size dress review
I remember seeing this dress on the banner of Lindy Bops website and knowing straight away i needed it, however it was nowhere to be found on the website and at London Edge one of the girls working the stand was wearing the dress (which just cemented how badly i needed it) and told me a large retailer had bought all their stock but it would be back online soon. Cue me acting like a stalker, but it was actually Tan who text me to say it was back the site and i moved quick to get it in my basket and make it mine.
And it didn't disappoint when it arrived. The print seems quite old fashioned but in a modern way with its all over blue rose stripe design, it feels like something you would see on cookery. I got a size 24, which was a perfect fit.
It is made of a thick cotton fabric (with 2% elastane so has a little bit of stretch), with a fit and flare silhouette; classic 50's. The dress is lined in the body, but not in the skirt. designed for a comfortable fit, fit and flare silhouette, lined bodice, a scoop neckline with a V cutout and one of my favorite details, the ruched sleeves, that are a decent length. It also has a concealed zip fastening to the rear and comes with a contrasting red belt.
This dress is currently on sale at Debehhams and is available in nearly all sizes.
