Yours Clothing Pink Cap Sleeved Blouson Waist Maxi Dress With Side Pockets

I've had this dress from Yours Clothing for a month or so and have worn it a couple of times running errands or around the house but this is the first time I've captured it on camera. It's a deep pink, more magenta than hot pink.

It's a thin comfortable jersey material which does wrinkle a lot in the wash, but here's a lazy gal tip - put it on a few hours before you go out and all the creases will drop out, hence no need to iron. I only iron for special occasions like weddings and funerals.

I'm wearing a size 24 in the denim jacket. It's generously sized, and has a fair amount of stretch. I'm wearing a size 26/28 in the dress and I'd say it's also generously sized, and as it's thin jersey it has a lot of give in it. I'm wearing shaping shorts underneath as I went for an uphill walk before taking these shots, and strangely they keep me cooler than wearing cropped leggings underneath a dress would. I tried that Body Glide anti chub rub stuff once but it felt really weird. It did stop my legs from chafing, but I'm not used to the sensation of my legs rubbing together like two little meat popsicles. ;) I'm too used to wearing leggings or comfort shorts underneath dresses. With regards to the length of the dress, I'm 5ft 5 and a half, and I hitched it up at the waist and kinda put it under my boobs to stop it being floor length. I'd say the ideal height for someone wearing this dress is about 5 ft 7 to 5ft 8, and any taller than that and you'll have an ankle grazer rather than a true maxi. You can't see it because I'm wearing a belt, but the waist is elasticated. It has short sleeves as you can see in the stock photos on the Yours website. Did I say it has pockets?! Hell yes. It also comes in grey marl, black and navy.

Once again this is a plain jersey item made more interesting with the use of accessories. These shoes were a bargain £3 from New Look a year or so ago, and add a bit of detail.
