Etta dress – Tilly & the Buttons.

Without question, this is my favourite dress out of all my makes. I wasn’t instantly attracted to the Etta dress by Tilly and the Buttons – though I loved the look of it, I wasn’t sure it would be comfy.

The dress itself is just right – even for a relatively short (5’2″) woman who has waved a white flag to her stomach, it makes me feel just a bit stylish. It’s one of those dresses that gives you confidence – perfect!
