I know, I know, yes, it's Viyella, but I saw it in the window in passing, and thought, well, might as well try it on ... and... it looked excellent. I managed to get out without buying it and am now wondering... what do you think, ladies?

yes the picture does make it look really long but actually it isn't I might have to take it up an inch or so but then I'm only 5'4" most maxi dresses form a puddle of material at my feet.

It's nice, I think the wedges will be a good idea.

I was thinking of something like these but cheaper -- possibly the Lotta from Stockholm ones. Yep, black white and red is a great combo Smile

Swedish hasbeens! Schuh tend to have all the current trends, as do Office. Have you tried Topshop?

it'd be awful on me cos i'm short, but if you're really really tall then i think it'd be nice on you. I don't think it looks frumpy or whatever a viyella dress is supposed to look like!
