A goddess gown in every sense, this beautiful 70's chiffon dress is a timeless classic. The cut is amazing. Unlike most ruche garments, this is incredibly flattering to the female form. The colour is a gentle pastel grey. It has an inbuilt scarf that can be worn over one shoulder or around the neck. The fabric is soft, flowing and utterly dreamy. 

Measurements: Bust up to 35, Waist up to 28, Hips up to 37" - large size 10, small 12.

Flaws: Near mint. There are a number of tiny snags, about the size of a pin head, where the scarf joins the bodice. These are hidden by the suede flower, which is detachable.

Label: None

The pictures really do not do this dress justice.  It is so, so beautiful.  Ivory in colour (almost lemon) cotton lace, and fully lined.  It has an empire waistline, which is incredibly flattering, a scooped back, set off with a huge satin bow. A real ‘breakfast at Tiffany’s’ number, fabulous!

Measurements: Bust up to 36, Empire Waist 28, Hips up to 36".

Flaws: None: Near Mint: just a couple of very, very light marks near the bottom of the ribbon. You would need a magnifying glass to find them.

Label: None

Measurements: Bust:36, Empire Waist: 28, Hips:36" but there is quite a lot of stretch in this one.

Flaws: None and it is hand washable, drip dry and almost impossible to crease - ideal for the suitcase.

Label: Paganne
