Oasis V&A Spitalfields Shift Dress #MyLifeInPrint

Thursday 18 June 2015

I've been meaning to feature this dress for a little while now as it was an incredible gift from some friends! I love this Oasis V&A collaboration, just in case if you haven't heard about it, Oasis have used some of the historic prints from the Victoria & Albert museum's archives to create a capsule collection.

My favourite piece from the collection is this Spitalfields shift dress! The Spitalfields print was designed around 1730 by acclaimed silk designer, Anna Maria Garthwaite. She lived in Spitalfields and became one of the leading pattern drawers in the English silk industry!

This dress has a wonderful fit! It reminds me of Mary Katrantzou but with a teeny tiny price tag. The entire range is lovely, Oasis always have incredible prints but they've never been this good. I rather fancy getting my paws on one of the blazers!

In other news, I've been doing a little more wedding planning recently! We've booked our Notice of Marriage appointment and Sam has even bought his wedding shoes (EPIC, shiny burgundy brogues). We just need to sort out our caterers and decide on a videographer! If you have any wedding videography recommendations, please let me know.

Do you have a favourite high street store? Would you wear this dress?

  2. Such a lovely dress! Oasis do some of the best prints, don't you think? They always look much more expensive that they actually are.

    Also, well done on the organisation! Sounds like you're really on top of everything :) xx

  6. I love this collection so much, all the prints are calling my name. I haven't had a proper chance to check it out, but the window displays have been awesome. Although they did give some of my friends a bit of sensory overload.

  20. Your Oasis dress has a beautiful print! Sadly I've never been to High Street, but if I ever visit that side of the pond I'd like to - and if I did shop on High Street wearing that dress I hope someone would memorialise the occasion in photos. :) You look fabulous wearing that dress.
