I fell in love with this French Connection sequin dress after seeing it on the internet – surprisingly as now I have the real thing I really don’t think the product shots do the dress justice. Its hefty price tag was a turn off but as if by fate ASOS had 24% off selected items for 24 hours – needless to say this was one of them. This still does not justify such a big purchase when I am saving for a new car but the great thing about this dress is I know I will get a similar price selling it on eBay at a later date.

Since I believe every birthday deserves its own dress (my bad excuse to buy new clothes, feel free to use it) this is officially my 22nd birthday dress. With flares of fluro orange this dress is subtle yet bright enough to make a statement and looks great with a black blazer and tan wedges.

My husband just bought this dress for me. I’m totally in love with it! I do not like to go sleeveless so, do you have any other suggestions for how you would wear it? Any ideas on how to wear this for winter? Thank you!
Hi Marina, it is such a beautiful dress isn’t it! I would wear it with a smart black boyfriend style blazer (Topshop do great ones) and killer heals for nights out. For a more snug look, a fluffy soft cardigan in cream would look great with nude heals and clutch.
Hope this helps x
Hi, Thanks for the post, I love the dress!! I am a smilar size to you, whihc size is this in and how does it fit? Only asking cause i want to order it online and I won’t be able to try it on.

Hi Lucy, I’m wearing a size 6 in this shot but the dress was quite short if you have longer legs. I’d say go for an 8 if you have longer legs, since you can use the tie in the middle to make it fit to your body xx
Hi Steph, I love this dress, I’ve a wedding coming up and can’t find it to buy anywhere! Have you any suggestions on where to look? A 6/8 should fit me. Thank you:)
Hi Lorraine,
Unfortunately it’s last summers stock, so the best thing I can suggest is to keep looking on Ebay. Good luck xx
Is anyone interested in selling their dress? I would love to buy it. I think it would make a great beach rehearsal dinner dress for my wedding!!!
