Thinking (blush) pink in this divine stretch lace, satin & neoprene tiered mini dress with high, Victorian-inspired neckline from Forever New's new "Curve" range, ideal for women like myself whose large bust previously prevented them from purchasing the more "fitted" silhouettes in the "traditional" range. In the interests of honesty & transparency, I will admit that, for me, the sizing still isn't perfect, as although the largest of the conventional range doesn't fit me, this is the smallest of the "Curve" range & it was too big, meaning that I had to make subtle alternations including including cutting the thick band at the neckline in half & taking in the side seams slightly to bring in the waistband. Regardless, I think the final product is stunning & I will get quite a bit of wear both in the summer months & the cooler weather. 

In this particular instance, I've styled it up with a pair of blush suede peeptoe booties with wooden stacked heels & side buckles (also from Forever New), a natural woven straw bucket bag from Sportsgirl to carry all the essentials, a Tibetan silver bracelet from a little boutique in Maleny, a pair of wooden beaded "mala" bracelets with delicate silver charms & tassels from Emmala by Emma & a knitted wool bangle with a single wooden bead from a little stall at the Arts & Crafts Markets at Coolangatta to add some bohemian flair & complete the look.
