Bows and Frocks

I'm partial to a good bow. Always have been, being a child of the eighties in lace and ruffles and pink. Always pink.

I've been pondering outfits for around the wedding itself: a dinner in the hotel with friends of the family the night before requires a party frock that is easy and comfortable but glamorous. The breakfast in hotel the morning after requires sedate and measured, and I can't decide if it needs the flounce of the recently undone (!) or to remain virginal and ivory. It could go either way really.


Regardless, this rather fabulous number, posted recently by Kate McKenzie, is exactly the style for the morning after the day before...

Retro style? Check

Subtle bow? Check

Comfortable shape and high neckline for coyness? Check

On budget?

Ah.
