My Dress Room Review: Burgundy Velvet Skater Dress!

Tuesday 21 January 2014

I ♥ velvet. I think it's a bit like Marmite, you either love it or you hate it, but I just can't get enough! This time last year I got my mitts on a burgundy velvet dress but it had a white peter pan collar which turned pink after one wash. Since then I've been on the hunt for a replacement and last week I was sent this beauty from My Dress Room!

Glamorous Skater DressGlamorous Velvet Skater Dress: c/o My Dress Room - Biker Jacket: Warehouse - Bowler: Vans

I haven't bought anything by Glamorous for a long time but I like their garments and this skater dress (£32) fits perfectly! I find their pieces tend to run a little on the small size so I opted for the size 10 in this which is just right for me. It's beautifully lined and not too short - phew. I'm 5'7 and my legs are too long for my body which means I struggle getting dresses that cover the goods haha. 

If you haven't heard of My Dress Room before, they stock a whole bunch of affordable clothing and accessories so they're definitely worth checking out. As I believe nude tights should be illegal, I wore it with some over the knee socks and one of my favourite sale bargains, this Warehouse biker jacket.

I don't know about you but I'm already day dreaming of spring/summer, I've even bought a few bits for my holiday! Part of me is scared there will be lots of snow at the end of the month and I'll have to start wearing my huge coats again. Wah!

Are you a fan of velvet? Have you already planned your S/S wardrobe?

  1. Wow this dress really is pretty! I just love velvet also especially leggings they are great during winter as velvet keeps the heat in and its a thick fabric! I really like the dress though as it makes a great alternative during winter if you want something more warm xx

  19. I love how you wore it! Such a pretty dress! I used to live in velvet as a kid and I just saw my mother make one in burgundy for my niece. Maybe it's a right of passage? I don't know but still, I like velvet but have never found anything that calls out to me. I'm looking for the perfect piece

  20. This dress is gorgeous, it's such a nice colour! I love the look of velvet but I hate the feel which is annoying. YES about the nude tights (I blame K-Middy for bringing them back!) and I know it's going to snow as well, just when we've bought stuff for Spring :( xxx

  24. I'm a lover of velvet too! It's so soft and gorgeous, just like this dress on you! It's a shame about your old one, it sounds like a lovely dress. I've bought a couple of bits for my holiday too (and it's in September!!), I can't help but long to feel the warm sun on my skin or just not have to put the heating on everyday!! But I'm afraid we're going to get snow too, it was April here last year and I don't think we're going to escape it this year either! xxx
