The rumours are true; I've fallen in love with my sartorial soulmate.
I don't think I'll ever love another dress as much as this one. It's everything I've been searching for in a dress: straight out of the seventies, maxi, angel sleeves and an incredibly intricate retro print. If I'm ever to get married one day, I'm not even sure that my future wedding dress will ever quite match up to this one.
Sometimes I'll find an item of clothing that I'm instantly drawn to and when I try it on, something inside just seems to ignite. For someone who admittedly struggles with self-esteem, my confidence wholly based in my clothing choices, so when I find an item that makes me feel wonderful, I literally cling on to it. I'll walk around the shop with the said item clutched against my chest like a newborn child in the fear that another shopper may grab it, which is exactly what I did after spotting this dress.
Now, we may not be a perfect match as it's a two person job to get the zip to do up over my waist, which is nothing a little constrictive lingerie can't handle, even if my lungs and other neighbouring vital organs would argue otherwise. Despite an inch difference, nothing can come between me and this ethereal antique garment. I just wish I had the opportunity to wander amongst the fields of Glastonbury this year wearing this magical piece, but I'm sure we'll have plenty of years of that to come.
