Hello
I’m thinking about buying this dress.
Which print do you prefer?
I can’t decide…
Thank you!

Hi Babs, yes I was a bit surprised at the thinness of the fabric.
I’m not bothered because I rarely get cold, but it’s odd that it’s not as thick as the summer dresses.
It hangs well and it’s very stretchy too!
Did you get leafy or flowery?

I prefer the first one, but whilst I know prints are fashionable, I prefer plain to prints. Having said that, the first one is definitely nicer in my opinion Fanny.

Thanks Maddy, that’s the one that I bought smile

On Ebay there are sellers selling brand new Seasalt clothes which are either end of line or seconds. I've got two and they are great - much cheaper than full price. Also I find Seasalt dresses hide a multitude of sins! Lately I have put on quite a bit of weight which the dresses somehow seem to disguise.

I like the leafy print better, but the other one looks brighter. It depends what suits you.
I like Seasalt dresses with pockets. And not too expensive.

Haha Fanny,I’ve just looked in my wardrobe and I’ve got several dresses with patterns, so I clearly don’t follow my own advice. That’s so funny. I don’t wear dresses very often though so I’d forgotten. I wore completely plain black and navy for my mother’s funeral last week, but black separates. A black shirt, slightly flared, and a nice black top, plain but with a sheer black yoke and sleeves. And the sheer bit had little black spots on it. Then a dark navy lightweight formal jacket, black tights and dark navy flats with an embellishment on top (they’re gorgeous) and a dark navy bag with gold coloured chain strap. I think I looked okay.

I hit the leafy one. My husband loves it. It’s a very good fit over the bust!

It is for a wedding where I am playing so needs to be comfortable.?
