GUESS WHAT??...
I GOT MY DRESS!!!
So as I was so obsessed with getting my two Yumi dresses, I decided to enter a competition on facebook, in which the public had to decide which out of two dresses in a picture they liked best. The winner would get a Yumi item of their choice.
So I along with several hundred others entered, not thinking anything would come of it, as I never win these things.
I lost.
So I though "f**k it" and bought the Navy dress online.
The next day a new competition went up, this time the prize was a Yumi dress of your choice, plus a Passionata push up bra and knickers set for valentines. So I tried again, just for fun.
I won!!!!
I bought the green dress! Yippeeeee!!!! So overall I managed to get both dresses, pretty much half price each, then a french lingerie set thrown in. Sweet!
I thought I'd show you a bit more of the dresses, just incase you like them too, as they are rather scrummy :D
The green polkadot sun dress is so flattering, and really light. So great for Spring weather! I can't wait till it gets a bit warmer to wear this out now!
It's also really comfortable as it's a nice length, on me it just goes past the knee, but I am super short so I can imagine on average sized women it would be just above the knee.
Something I wasn't aware about when.. err.. winning this dress, was that it has a petticoat with a green netted hem which is actually really lovely because the dress sits so nicely with that little bit of extra weight, plus it feels all ruffly and nice.
The dress also comes with a thin white belt, as you can see there are small belt loops.
I'm really happy with this dress, in fact I don't think I can wait for warmth, I might just pair it with a cardigan, tights and some ankle boots, just so I can show it off a bit more ;)
You can buy it here Yumi Polka Dot Sun Dress
As well as green, it comes in Navy and Black.
I am so happy I got this dress, It is so pretty and I get so many compliments.
I love the detail put into the dress, it has little gold buttons on the cuffs of the sleeves which just add a little bit more sophistication.
It is 100% polyester so is very light and floaty.The shape is lovely and fits so well, it comes just above the knee on me.
I have been looking for a polka dot dress like this one for a long time, but I've never found one as nice. Either the fabric is cheapy and goes bobbly, it lacks detail, or the shape isn't right. I like that this is very 1960's and a beautiful shape.

It also comes in Black with brown dots/collar.
If you are poor like me and like to save your money wherever you can, I'd just like to leave you with the thought that next time you want an item so much you can't wait, waiting is probably the best thing to do, look around and see if you can get it cheaper or check to see if there are any competitions you could enter for free, you never know, you could end up getting it for free!
