Practically Perfect

And here it is - the first entry on Her In The Dress, aiming to create a platform for fellow dress lovers to feel inspired, discover new brands, support small businesses, and to encourage a community amongst us.

I’m kicking it off with an absolute beauty of a dress, from the very feminine and very elegant Johanna Sands.

Johanna’s dresses are all handmade by her, in gorgeous fabrics that drape the variations of the female body perfectly. The dresses range from a size 6-16, and do fit true to size. I’ve paired mine with some velvet mary-janes here, but sandals - flat or heeled depending on the occasion, would also work well.

This dress would be lovely for the Easter weekend as its a loose cut so it’ll be easy enough to get your lamb and spring veg in and out of the oven, or to throw your arms around visiting family members! The sky blue linen feels particularly festive and spring-like to me, and I keep imagining how put together I’ll look as I race to find one of the Easter Bunny’s eggs before my children scoff them all!

Johanna Sands is taking a short, and well deserved, break, but will be back to business as usual shortly. In the meantime, browse her Shop page as, I promise, you won’t be short on choices.
