An AX Paris Floral Bodycon Party Dress

Dress: AX Paris (similar & similar) | Heels: Faith | Necklace: Accessorize

As four years of blogging might prove I own a lot of dresses but none like this one! It caught my eye on eBay because of the beautiful floral pattern but I wasn't sure about the length or the fit. However, I was looking for a dress for my birthday and decided to go for it. 

It didn't arrive in time for my birthday getaway but when I did tear it out of the packaging I was super impressed with the quality. The material is lovely and thick and the colours are so vibrant. The shoulder pads give a bit of extra shape and help hide my chubby arms. 

Most of all though I'm really happy with the way the style looks on me - it is actually quite flattering. I was really worried it would show all my lumps and bumps but these photos prove it doesn't. It is short though so I don't think I'll ever be confident enough to wear it without dark tights. 

I've got a party coming up in a few weeks (that had to be moved from last weekend because my friend has chicken pox) and this dress is a top contender for the night. My boyfriend likes it too which is always a bonus. I'll just throw on my leather jacket and I'll be ready to go.
