As promised, here are some pictures of my Gypsy05 organic cotton maxi dress – the one we’re giving away) courtesy of The Trend Boutique:
I haven’t actually had the opportunity to “wear” this yet (although this week it’s supposed to get up to 70 degrees here), but I really loved playing dress-up ! I got a size large in this dress, and it suits me fine, but The Trend Boutique recommends sizing down. Honestly, I could have sized down, but I don’t think it was necessary. I’m a pretty “hippy” size 12, so if you’re not “hippy”, and lean more towards a size 10, I’d definitely go for the medium.
I LOVE everything about this dress: the organic cotton is super-soft, the fit is great (although I couldn’t find a bra that would work with it – so I’m bra-less), and the detailing is beautiful. It is a bit long for me, but I’m short (about 5’3″), so I had to wear platform sandals with it. I’m actually going to take it to my tailor and see if they can hem it, I’m just afraid with the metallic detailing at the bottom, it will ruin the way the fabric hangs to get it hemmed.
I cannot WAIT to actually be able to wear this in warmer weather, I have a thing for maxi dresses, and tend to live in them more than anything else over the Spring/Summer months.
