While many might use Black Friday as a chance to get ahead of the Christmas shopping, there is no harm in treating yourself too. Joanie has slashed the price of this "showstopper" dress for Black Friday, which is perfect for the Christmas party season. The Stella puff sleeve midaxi dress is now £65.
40 in a fab price drop down from £109. The dress comes in two colours, black and blue and is a square neck midaxi dress that is crafted from super-soft black cotton and features a square neckline, poofy oversized statement sleeves, giant ric rac tape detailing, shirring at the back for added comfort, and those all-important pockets at the hip. Shoppers love this dress, giving it great reviews, one said: "I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it but seeing it in person was even better.
The fabric is gorgeous, heavy, [draped] beautifully. I took a size 22 i have bust 120cm and waist 109cm (so according to the size chart I was between 22 and 24) and it fits beautifully without being too tight. I am 1m64 and it reaches almost to my ankles.
A very very beautiful dress that will definitely be a staple in my closet." Another said: "What an amazing dress! For any bigger busted, fuller hipped ladies out there, this is a dream. It fits beautifully over the chest (no deep cleavage, so suitable for environments that require a more modest neckline) and there is enough gather on the waist for the dress to avoid hugging the hips (this almost has the same gather as a full circle skirt, so the drape is much more flattering than on other dresses of similar length or style).
The showstopper, however, is the sleeves. I am living my puffy sleeved dreams with this dress. It adds just enough drama without looking over the top.
I was unsure whether to buy this, and am so pleased I did. It's a new favourite, for sure. I felt it was true to size - the gathers on the waist actually mean that its quite generous on the bottom half, so you shouldn't need to size up.
