![]() ![]() I was thrilled to be told that we could keep our clothes! I love Joe Browns clothes but can rarely afford them, and this dress is really thick and will be lovely in the winter with black leggings! It’s a great length so I would wear it for work, and doesn’t show my cleavage. I did have to put the dress back on though because Simply Be wanted to take photos! I did twirl though, and I definitely heard my friend Chloe cheering for me!īecause the dress was long-sleeved I was absolutely boiling so I changed straight away and missed the final twirl of all the models! Whoops. I don’t remember the catwalk much itself ~ I was really nervous and probably went too fast. I made another friend in the line, too, the gorgeous Nicola who looked amazing in a Grazia dress. Charlotte and the other Simply Be staff got us all lined up in order ~ I was last as most people were modelling two outfits or more. I wasn’t with the other models for long as I went back to painting nails, but I did get my make up done by a lovely girl from Benefit, and I had a lovely conversation with Hanna about the heart-print dress I was wearing. One was a long-sleeved Joe Browns dress with a funky pattern on it, so I decided that would be grand! When I went upstairs to the Simply Be area, the dress I’d chosen was out of stock, but Charlotte pulled out a few things for me to try. I know others who’ve had great experiences modelling for Simply Be, so I thought “Fuck it, I’ll do it too”. When I saw that Simply Be were sponsoring Plus North and putting on a catwalk show for which they wanted models, I volunteered straight away. I can embrace a trend I’m not sure about if it means I’ll feel even more gorgeous, and that, surely, is the important thing. And, with the dipped hem, I can wander around knowing that no one will be looking at the backs of my knees. I don’t really want the extra layer of leggings. I’ve bought this dress with the intention of wearing it in 2 weeks for my husband’s 30th birthday party, and if the weather stays it will be a lovely day. *Shudder* I can’t even really explain it, but I hate the idea of people looking at them. I’m good at body positivity, but the backs of my knees…. I don’t mind the fronts of my knees, but I HATE the backs of my knees. I don’t mind them if they’re shaved, but I don’t often do that as it irritates my skin. I usually wear dresses with leggings underneath, because I don’t really like baring my legs. At the front it hits my knee (for reference, I’m 5'5") and at the back it’s the middle of my calf. I have to admit that when I saw this dress I thought I could easily make it a straight hem ~ which I may still do.īut I’ve just tried it on – and I may like it. I can’t really explain why, but I didn’t think it was for me. I’ve been seeing it a lot, mostly on non-plus-sized women (yesterday at a wedding I saw THREE) and I don’t particularly like it. I’ve just bought this gorgeous green and white print dress from Yours Clothing (still available as I write this from £25.00!) and I think I may have to submit to the dipped hem trend. ![]()
