One That Got Away - The Elasticated Waist Dress

The Elasticated Waist Dress

Here’s another  that got away. 

The elasticated waist dress.  Its raison d’etre, the ruched expandable middle, is not particularly attractive and needs covering with a belt, IMHO.  And if a dress can’t hold its own without tweaks and accessories then it’s not worthy of entry into my wardrobe. 

But a lovely dress on the right body shape.  And a forgiving friend when faced with the full Christmas 🎄 dinner 🥘 blow out.  But it’s not for the fuller figure.  Apparently.

Can’t remember my personal stylist’s exact words but it was probably something along the lines of “sack of potatoes 🥔 tied in the middle “ ... it usually is !

So, do you have something totally forgiving that is your comfortable go-to on Christmas Day?

A la perchoine,

And that concludes this mini series of ones that got away.  I’d been avoiding certain trends that I felt weren’t quite ME.  But I decided to give them all a go and even tried them a second time, to check if I’d changed my view from the initial try-on.  But it turns out none were keepers.  

Though the pleated skirt was one that I’m a tempted to give another go.

Were they something you could slip easily into your busy day?
