There’s a Zara polka dot dress that’s everywhere this year. It’s a nice dress, and you can see why it’s flown off the racks. But there’s the how many will see at the next wedding/party?’ worry. There’s loads of ways to avoid that ‘snap’ moment: vintage is good. Sample sales too. Especially if you’re a size 8 with a good dry cleaner. Better still is making something yourself, or having it made for you… that way you get exactly what you want, to fit you perfectly. It can be as wild, or as simple as you like – that’s the joy of it. It’s absolutely you.
