I found this dress online when I was in London. I was looking for something like my Ann Balon dress which I wore at our son's wedding. Ann Balon dresses, even on sale in the shops and online, are expensive, and heavy. I looked for dress and matching scarf, lace dress, two piece dress.
I found this dress listed under boho which is short for bohemian. It had several features which I liked. The matching top and under-dress. The lace inserts, known as godets. The long sleeves which hitch up.
I was disapointed in the colour because I was wearing vibrant reds and royal blues and green. However, the mustard goes perfectly with blonde hair. And with gold-rimmed glasses.
I thought the dress was dull and the sleeves were too heavy for Singapore. However, in Singapore you can be quite cold indoors in an air-coonditioned restaurant. Outdoors, you might want your arms covered to protect yourself from the sun or mosquitos, or people passing with Covid-19.
This dress has appeared on my blogs from the UK and Singapore. I have it in mustard yellow and green. I have hunted all over the internet, trying to find the same or similar again.
The scarf
I love the scarf. If you look carefully, you can see that the pattern is also flowers, but not quite the same. However, the colour matches exactly.
You can get the same or similar scarf with lace edging to the short end and tassels very cheaply from China on ebay.
