Gothic lace

Sorry it's been a few days, guys. My hubby was generous enough to pass on his tummy bug to me and I've been a miserable cow the past half a week. I was off work on Wednesday and I figured you wouldn't appreciate a pic of me in my jarmies.

Today's choice of dress is a bit of an odd one. It's the Mia dress by H&R London that I picked up from my fave online store, Beserk. The front is laced up and hides a red lace panel and you can lace it tighter or looser, depending on how much of the red you want to show through.

I found that if I had it loose, the ties at the bottom sat rather funny and droopy and it looked odd so I opted for the tighter lacing.

I must admit, I'm not really sure about this dress. I loved it on the model, and it really is a gorgeous dress but the lacing and the way it sits over the bust is just a bit weird. I have small shoulders as well so non-adjustable straps have the tendency to slip down during the day. I did wear a shrug which covered that a little but still. I know I will definitely wear the dress again, but I know it's also not going to be one of my favourites.

Just short and sweet tonight guys but before I love you and leave you, I'm going to shamelessly plug my new FB page just to go off on a non-fashion tangent. It's dedicated to my writing, specifically the novel I am in the end stages of completing. The story is written, it's just the finicky editing and proof stage I'm at now. It's still probably five or six months off self publishing but hey, may as well start getting the word out there! What better way to do that than to share the first chapter! Have a read and tell me what you think :)
