Dear Catastrophe Waitress - Red And Black Tartan Dress from Yours Clothing.

One of my favourite things about the transition into Autumn / Winter trends is that we see a shift towards grunge led aesthetics but built into softer shapes. I love skater dresses as they suit my figure and evoke a slight feeling of 50s flounce when spinning around in them.

When I saw this tartan number from Yours Clothing, my heart almost burst with happiness as it really spoke to both the vintage loving and 90s wildchild sides of my personality.

Dress: Red and Black Check 2 in 1 Tartan Dress with Patent Belt (£30) from Yours Clothing.

Handbag: Vintage.

Leggings: Black Basic Cotton Elastane Leggings (£10) from Yours Clothing.

Red Shoes: Vintage via Red Bows Boutique.

Roses: Pearls and Swine.

I was a little worried about how it would fit across my chest, as black material has a tendency to stretch to white when under pressure. I needn't have worried though - the dress is a very generous fit and the slim belt really nips in nicely at the waist. The scoop neck is high enough to make this dress a very versatile item, and is one which can easily be smartened up with nice heels or grunged down with an oversized boyfriend cardigan.

This is one of those dresses which I can already tell I will live in, and am already looking forward to it's next outing!

(Note: This is an honest, impartial review after purchasing an item, and not one which I have been paid for.)

Until next time,
