I was looking for something a little bit retro to wear to the Goodwood Revival Meeting. I've been to the Festival of Speed before with my husband but this was to be my first visit to the Revival meeting and many people dress up for this event. I'm 64 and over the past year or so have lost 3 stone in weight, still a stone to lose, but so pleased to be able to get into a dress size I feel happier with. So I ordered the same dress in several colours, but I generally favour blue and as soon as I put the blue one on, I just felt it was the right one. I did already have some 'pull you in' underwear to wear underneath, but looking at the photographs my husband took on the day (before I gave up on my sandals as my feet were killing me!) I probably could have done with something more robust to smooth things out, or perhaps I just needed to hold my breath for the photographs! :-)
I had a hat already which I'd bought for my son's wedding in April which matched perfectly and already had the sandals from another website. Stumbled on a pink polka dot scarf which matched the shoes and it was in a charity shop for 99 pence! The tag hanging on the dress is the paddock pass for Goodwood.
The dress has a little bit of stretch which makes it very comfortable to wear and I love the fact that you can wear it off shoulders or on shoulders. The colour on the website was representative of how it was.
Whilst my husband was taking these photographs, I noticed another man standing just behind him with a phone camera taking a photograph of me - so I couldn't have looked too bad!
Service from Pretty Kitty was very good.
