With the heatwave just around the corner, I think it's safe to say it's finally British summertime and there's plenty of amazing summer inspired outfits on the high street. A few weeks ago Peacocks decided to show me a few items of their lastest range and having shopped there for quite some time, I was pretty excited. I been through the whole motion of dress sizes, from plus size to petite and having experienced how difficult it is to find certain sizes, I have to say Peacocks always used to come out as 'top trump' when I was a bigger lady. Peacocks have an excellent summer range out at the top from inspiring 50s tea dresses to eye popping florals. The dress above has a lace mid-drift which is perfect to cool you down and the floral pattern blends in with the beautiful flowers popping up all over peoples gardens.
The second item from Peacocks is this gorgeous midi skirt. I know it doesn't look obvious in this picture (hurray), but I do have a little bit of a jiggly belly and this is the first time I've found a midi skirt that hides it well. If there was one criticism, it would be that it's quite large for a size 8, but then again, with most of the high street making clothes that only fit mannequins, a little bigger can sometimes be a good thing. At £12 you simply can't go wrong.
One of my favourite items from the collection is this very elegant 50s inspired tea dress. Unfortunately I've managed to damage the zip so I couldn't wear it to show you, but wearing this dress was really a delight. It nips in at the waist and gives you an effortless hourglass figure - something most girls would love to have. My mum is excellent at sewing and has vowed to fix this dress for me, so watch this space, there might be a review about it soon.
Have you bought anything from Peacocks lately?
