A couple of weeks ago I showed you my latest purchase from the Dawn O’Porter X Joanie collection. I also ordered this Casino Granny Square Print Midi Dress but had to return it for a replacement because the elasticated button loop had broken. The customer service at Joanie is excellent and they always reply to my emails promptly. I was so happy this style hadn’t sold out in my size because I love the pattern…and it’s now only £26!
I now own four dresses from the Dawn O’Porter X Joanie collection (you can see the other two here and here). The granny square pattern makes it easy to accessorise with so many colours to choose from. I took a pick and mix approach, opting for a green bag and earrings, a yellow sunglasses chain and pink agate ring. I’d totally forgotten I had these sunglasses until I found them while looking for another pair. The yellow flower chain is perfect for this retro granny square pattern.
I would say the dress runs true to size – I’m wearing a 10. As I mentioned before, the sizing seems to have changed at Joanie. My first two dresses are a size 8 – I had to size down to get a good fit on the waist, However, the 8 in these latest two dresses was way too small so I exchanged them for a size 10. So what with that and having to order a replacement for the faulty one it was third time lucky for this dress!
Apologies for being a day late again with the link up. I’ve been struggling with bouts of fatigue lately and sometimes just have to sleep. It gets to a point when I can’t look at a screen any longer. I’m guessing it’s a hormonal issue…the joys of menopause eh?
