French Connection Summer Bark Dress

I have always been a little bit of a French Connection fan girl, their clothes are so perfectly suited to my body shape. Due to the amount of tablets I take and my ever changing energy levels, my body has a tendency to fluctuate. Some days I can walk into Topshop and be a size 8, other days I'm wondering why I'm a size 12. French Connection has always been my go-to brand for when I need an outfit that will fit my body shape whatever day of the year it is.

When I saw this French Connection Summer Bark dress in store, I knew instantly that it would be a dress that would flatter my curves and give me a much needed confidence boost. Having a new job and a nice pay cheque on the way, I thought yesterday would be the perfect time to treat myself to some new work attire.

The summer bark dress nips in at the waist and bellows at the hips to form a nice hourglass appearance. The bark design is a little bit quirky and adds character to what is simply a white day dress and with a little bit of jewellery, this dress can be dressed up for a night around town. French Connection is at the upper end of the High Street scale so their dresses can be a little bit pricey. This French Connection Summer Bark dressed retails at £80, but since I have a discount card for House of Fraser I managed to save a few pennies. I see this dress as a worthy investment as it has a pattern suitable for the summer, winter and autumn seasons and feels incredibly comfortable to wear. For someone that often suffers from low confidence, I found this dress is fabulous at concealing those wobbly bits and gave me the confidence buzz I need.
