Style pick by Ceri Wheeldon

I know this isn’t really a dress with sleeves per se, as it is a shift dress with a jacket, but I liked it so much I had to share. I think it is very ‘Jackie O’  or ‘Mad Men’ inspired and great for any autumn weddings. Would look great with a 60s style ‘up do’.  The jacquard print is very on trend this season, but the styling makes it a timeless classic.

Vintage inspired brands can be a great source of dresses with sleeves , especially if you like to create a  retro look (tomorrow I will share a very 50’s inspired dress), and they are normally very reasonably priced. This Lindy Bop dress and jacket  from the Little Black Dress company costs just £55 – and it is a little different to what is currently available on the high street.
