Dress to Impress! ★



So I do apologise for my lack of posts in recent times! But I do have a Leaving Cert to do. I appreciate your patience, (or else no one bothers to read my blog and frankly no one cares!) But ever the optimist that I am, I thank you for your patience! :) So, in my last post I did say I was going debs dress shopping, however this was hindered by my SEVERE sunburn (que the violins)

So, in between plenty of cold baths and lashings of Aloe Vera I did manage to come across some of the best dress websites I could find! 

http://www.lightinthebox.com/
Good: A friend of mine ordered her debs dress from here and it was AMAZING! The quality was top notch and it fit like a glove. It does give you the option to input all of your measurements, change colour, even material!  
Not so good: It does however for some of the dresses offer cheap looking alternatives. This is not the case for all the dresses and for my friend it was perfect. Here is the dress she got...

...in a royal blue.

The second website I have come across which I LOVE is:
http://www.bestcelebritydress.com/
Now this website has every Red Carpet dress I have ever marvelled over. From Mila Kunis, to Anne Hathaway, to Maria Menounos, and back to Mila Kunis (I have a bit of an obsession!)

Another one I stumbled upon is:
http://www.celebritydresses100.com/

Very similar to bestcelebritydress but there are some on this that aren't on it and vice versa! :) The majority of these websites take on average 3-4 weeks to arrive but my advice is to order as much in advance as possible to avoid disappointment. They also leave an inch on the inside of the dress to allow them to be taken out (does that sound right to you? taken out? not sure!) just for fear we eat one to many lettuce leaves! ;)

Hope you enjoyed my latest post. I'd love to see your dresses or any other websites you've found do let me know!
