The Pretty Dress Company | Burbank Aqua Pencil Dress

*This dress was won in a Twitter competition - NOT sent as PR sample

A month or so ago, I was lucky enough to win this beauty in a Twitter competition.  The competition had originally been for the same style of dress in Coral, but it sold out before the competition was over.  So I messaged them and they were great about letting me choose another colour.  I was about to go for black when my sister suggested I be a bit more adventurous.  As I thought this is the colour that would suit me best this is what I went for in the end.

The Pretty Dress Company has been doing the rounds on social media, and has fast become a celebrity option for events (soap stars, public figures etc.).  I have to admit that I'd been on and off the website quite a few times after seeing them in magazines, but as I'd never had an occasion where I needed a really nice dress I never took the plunge.  The dresses are at expensive high-street end of the scale in terms of price, although after I received my dress it's great quality making it worth every penny in my eyes.  There are lots of styles of dresses too and they come in a variety of colours, so finding something to suit you shouldn't be a problem.  It's the kind of place that offers many 'classic' styles that don't go in and out of fashion.  The simple designs and flattering cuts would be at home in anyone's wardrobe.  The fit is true to size, and mine is probably on the longer side than most as I'm only 5'1.  I wish I'd thought about TPDC for my graduation last year!  Now my only problem is that now I need somewhere to wear this baby.  Any one want to take me out somewhere nice?...anyone...no?  Okay...
