2 WAYS TO STYLE A MIDI DRESS + IT’S MADE TO MEASURE

The last time I did a wedding guest look book was the one I shared HERE. When I got this fabric, the first thing that came to mind for me was to create another look for a wedding guest. The fabric was originally for my girlfriend’s wedding. Even though I couldn’t attend, my portion of the fabric was kept for me – this is kind of tradition whereby all the bride’s friends wear some sort of “uniform” called aso-ebi traditionally. When I received my fabric, I gave my tailor specifications of what I wanted and here we are.

Outfit of the Day!

I was wearing this made to measure dress. It was a 5-yard fabric made into this off the shoulder full skirt midi dress with exaggerated sleeves. As you would see on the sleeve, there was a generous amount of velvet velour bow details used as pipping on the sleeves and a mix of taffeta on the hem of the sleeves too. These kinds of sleeves are very popular at the moment and you would be seeing me wearing stuff like this on the blog in the next couple of blogs.

For styling, I decided to style the dress in 2 different ways: 

Look one

This look features the emerald dress with a pair of drop emerald earrings and to add a pop of colour to the look, I wore a pair of open toe Mustard heels which completes the look so perfectly.

For this look, I was wearing:

Micheal Kors Watch

H&M Bracelets & Belt

Look Two

The second styling features the emerald dress with a pair of with my trusted nude (beige) heels and a be-jewelled belt and an oversized earrings finishes the look.

For Look Two, I was wearing:
