Collectif Dolores Doll Yellow Summer Bouquet Print Dress 12 Medium

I was so excited to see last year that Collectif had brought out a few new prints in their fabulous Dolores Doll dress. I hear there are many more lovely prints to come this year, but for the time being I am pleased to show you one of the designs I picked up last year.

It's the gorgeous Dolores Doll Yellow Summer Bouquet Print Dress (£65, UK sizes 6-22).

Collectif Dolores Sweetheart Gingham Doll Dress 14 Large

Last year I managed to snap up a few new Dolores Doll dresses from vintage repro retailer Collectif. I love the cut of the Dolores Doll as it suits my hourglass figure very well indeed.

Gingham has always been a favourite print of mine so you can imagine my excitement when Collectif brought out the Dolores Sweetheart Gingham Doll Dress (£65, UK sizes 6-24):

Collectif Dietrich Check Swing Trench Coat 18

As the weather turned cooler last autumn, my thoughts turned to outerwear. I usually wear my beloved Ben De Lisi raincoat when I feel I need a light extra layer, and of course I have my Collectif Ashley coats for days when it is very chilly. However, I didn't have anything for those 'in between' days when a light mac is not enough but the weather is not cold enough for a heavy duty winter coat.

Thank goodness for Collectif - they released their gorgeous Dietrich swing trench coat in a thicker fabric for exactly this sort of weather.

Pink Clove Teal Tartan Skater Dress 16

Just over a month ago, I reviewed the Pink Clove Red Tartan Skater Dress. It's been a big hit with bloggers everywhere and it was an instant favourite of mine. When I saw that Pink Clove had released it in a teal colourway I knew that sooner or later the beauty would be mine.

Pink Clove Ballerina Wrap Bust Dress 16

Plus size brand Pink Clove have been making waves on a number of blogs for some months now and you may have already read my review of their Tartan Skater Dress, which was a big hit with me. I have some other items to tell you about from the order I placed back in November, but for now they will have to wait.

I was really excited when the Pink Clove PR team got in touch and asked if they could send me something to review. At the time they had not yet released their partywear collection so I went for something that I thought might work as an everyday dress: the Ballerina Wrap Bust Dress (£30.00, UK sizes 16-28).

Pink Clove Tartan Skater Dress 18

A while ago I wrote about new UK plus size fashion brand Pink Clove. They have a gorgeous selection of clothing on their website, catering for UK sizes 16-32. I had a great time looking through the rails of their clothing at the bloggers' supper I attended back in September and I knew I would have to place an order so I could try some of the pieces for myself.

I actually only got around to placing my order a couple of weeks ago and was able to take advantage of a free shipping offer they had on at the time. I always love to save on postage when I can so free shipping is often a trigger for me to buy, buy, buy!

The first I item I am going to share with you is the infamous Pink Clove Tartan Skater Dress.
