This was one of the dresses I had in mind when I first started the Dresses with Sleeves Challenge, but it was out of stock until today –so pleased it is now available again.
The Rhona Lace Dress from Phase Eight in blue is elegant and stylish. The lace sleeves and the ruching at the waist make it a great dress for stylish 50 somethings. Understated elegance.Fab!

This is lovely – now all I need is somewhere posh to wear it … (don’t suppose it would look so fab after a couple of days in my rucksack!)

Perhaps that should be my next challenge – although I think I might struggle to find 50 rucksack proof dresses!

As its very bingo wing friendly, I have been trying to locate this dress for a night out next month, does anyone know where I could find this in a size 16 ?
Ceri Wheeldon
Hi Katherine, I have checked with Phase Eight’s head office and they have assured me that the dress will be coming back into stock again soon- it seems to sell out as soon as they receive more- so to keep checking. Alternatively is there a local Phase Eight stockist you can visit?- if they don’t have it in stock themselves they may be happy to phone around other stores for you. It seems to be a very popular dress!

Hi Ceri, Yes it does seem to be a very popular dress and thank you for enquiring with Phase Eight. I’ll pop into my local store and ask if they can locate one for me. I’ll let you know how I get on !
