Pretty Fab Misfits: Summer Ready...

Hey Misfits,

As it is currently January and in Australia it is Summer Time, I though I should do a Summer Ready Dress Collection. This is a collection of my favourite dresses I could find from 2 online stores (the links will be at the end of the post). The stores I picked are ModCloth and Lulus. I have categorized the dresses into Casual, Party, Occasions and Strapless.

Casual

Google defines casual as relaxed and unconcerned. I usually would describe casual as something you can wear to the shopping center or cinema. Its light and easy to wear but should also make a statement about your fashion style.

Fizz This Love?

Fizz This Love is a cute little dress. The shell and lining is 100% polyester and the combo fabric is 55% polyester and 45% nylon. It is required to be dry cleaned, which I find slightly annoying. The dress is fully lined except for the top and back and there are side pockets. I would wear this dress more on the smart casual side of things but for a casual look just if I'm shopping with my friends or out to the movies. I wouldn't wear it 'around the house' because it is a little too fancy for a simple wearing like that. Fizz This Love comes in a series of sizes, varying from 2 - 14 and costs a whopping $147.99 AUD. Although it is extremely expensive, I believe it is an amazing dress and even if I don't personally own it myself I would totally buy it any day.

Fresh Fortitude

The title is quite alluring. It just feels right when you say it. The dress its self is made up of 100% cotton (shell), 95% cotton, 5% nylon (lace), the trim is 65% Rayon, 35% linen and the lining is also 100% cotton. This dress kind of reminds me of an old (not in age) drama teacher I had once. Its quite nice for a casual dress and I personally would wear this anywhere from a shopping center to a park. Fresh Fortitude comes in three sizes; S, M and L and costs only $67.99 AUD. This dress is both elegant and cute and definitely screams Summer.

Rooftop Brunch

The Rooftop Brunch is certainly a dress for a meal. Not only does it have a gorgeous look but quite romantic as well. Its shell and contrast is 97% cotton and 3% spandex while the dresses lining is 100% polyester. I would wear this dress anywhere really. On a picnic, in the park, at a 'mall' (we don't really say mall in Australia), even to get a coffee. Rooftop Brunch comes in three sizes; S, M and L and costs $79.99 AUD. The dress although not super expensive is also not that cheap. I recommend this amazing dress to anyone who wants it.

Amour the Merrier Lavender Lace

The Amour the Merrier Lavender Lace is a lot less fancier the the other dresses. The dress is short and would be real nice to wear down here where its hot. The dress is made from 100% polyester. I probably wouldn't wear the dress to much out of the house though. I find it more of a lounge around your home sort of dress. Island Aperitif comes in four sizes; XS, S, M and L and costs a cheap $39 AUD. The dress is quite cheap and it wouldn't be at the top of my summer wish list.

BB Dakota

The BB Dakota is made for summer the black top and white skirt are perfectly contrasted together. The bodice is 68% polyester, 28% raylon, 4% spandex and the skirt is 100% polyester. I would wear this dress to anything even for school (whether its university or a non uniform high school). Island Aperitif comes in five sizes; 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 and costs $72 AUD. The dress is certainly worth all 72 of its dollars.

Party

A party dress is a dress worn especially for a party. Different types of party such as children's party, cocktail party, garden party and costume party would tend to require different styles of dress. One classic style of party dress for women in modern society is the little black dress.

Away We Bow

This dress is a cute, adorable dress. It was made in the USA and its gorgeous sleek, tight-fitting body is what makes it so lovable. It is made from 66% rayon, 30% nylon and 4% spandex. The dress is perfect for a date or a party. The Sizes are; XS, S, M and L and cost $39 AUD. The dress is so amazing that I cannot wait until I buy it.

Time and Grace

Time and Grace is an absolute stunning dress. It has soft and neutral tones to it. The dress is made of 100% polyester (shell), 60% cotton, 40% nylon (contrast) and 100% polyester (lining).

It has a real classy look to it and thats why I think it would be the right dress for an engagement party or a wedding. The sizes it comes in are S, M, and L and the dress costs $99.99 AUD. Even though it is seriously expensive, I believe you could get more than one use out of it.

Waiting for the Countdown

The Waiting for the Countdown dress screams champagne and dazzling dancing. Teresa said the dress was super cute and flattering and I agree. Made from 100% polyester this stretchless dress is perfect for New Years parties and birthdays and Christmas. The dress costs $99.99 AUD and comes in UK sizes 6 through to 14.

Midnight Masquerade

Midnight Masquerade is a sexy dress. There are no other words to describe the sleekness or beauty. The dress its self is made from 100% polyester while the lining is 95% polyester and 5% spandex. I would wear this dress at a club, on a date or out to dinner. Midnight Masquerade comes in the three sizes S, M and L while costing $72 AUD.

Occasions

I have thought that occasions wear was something you would only wear once or twice (you could wear it more obviously) but the dress would be for your formal or wedding. It is something you feel amazing in as well.

You Lead the Sway

You Lead the Sway is a glamorous maxi dress, perfect for your formal or a friends wedding so you don't out do the bride. The shell made from 100% polyester and the lining made from 96% polyester and 4% elastane. Coming in the UK sizes 6 through to 14 and costing $99.99 AUD

Cue the Compliments

Cue the Compliments dress reminds me of a Taylor Swift dress. It looks absolutely fantastic and it has pockets. The dress is 65% cotton and 35% polyester while the lining is 100% polyester. I would wear the dress anywhere and everywhere including holiday parties, graduation, formals, seriously anything. The dress comes in small, medium and large and costs $64.99 AUD.

Taylor Swift's gorgeous red dress

Baklava Beauty

The Baklava Beauty is a adorable little dress. The Shell is made from 98% cotton and 2% spandex. The organza (I don't know what that is) is made from 100% polyester while the lining is 100% cotton. I would wear this to simple occasions such as family events, dinners, outings, or even to the shops. The Baklava Beauty comes in the sixes S, M and L and costs $89.99 AUD.

Strapless

A strapless dress or top is a garment that stays put around the upper body without shoulder straps or other visible means of support. It is usually supported by and internal corset or brassiere with the tightness of the bodice preventing the dress from slipping out of position.

Anything Bows

The Anything Bows dress is a gorgeous tight fitting dress with a cute bow on the back. The coral red colour is also amazing for it. The dress comes from the USA and is made from 74% rayon, 22% nylon and 4% spandex. I would wear this at a party most likely or on a date or dinner or something like that. The sizes are XS, S, M, and L and the price is $39 - a real bargin.

Storied Romance

The Storied Romance dress is a modern version of a corset dress. The colours are stunning just like the dress. It comes in the three sizes S, M and L. Made from 100% polyester this $60 dress is perfect.

The only problem is for what. I have sat here for 30 minutes trying to work out wear I would wear it and frankly - I have NO idea. None!

So I ask where would YOU wear this dress. Please comment your answer.
