 Hola Guapas!

 

By now I should technically be sat on a sun lounger with a cocktail the size of my head, because BINGO this post was scheduled way in advance whilst I'm soaking up the last of the summer sun in Marbs!

 

So, before I jet setted off, I had been lusting after a Chi Chi dress, & after a long online window shopping sesh not too long ago I settled on the Megan dress being my favourite, not only for holiday but also as a perfect icy tone for around Christmas/NY time.

However, after a quick swap over to Matalan (I am a self confessed Mata-holic) & a shop for a few basics, I stumbled across the Drop Back Lace Skater Dress which is almost a perfect copy of the Chi Chi Megan frock! I couldn't believe it!

 

Okay, so here are the facts:

 

Chi Chi Megan Dress

£43.99

Lace Sleeveless Day, Evening, Cocktail And Party Dress
- Leaf Design On Lace
- Sheer Lace Straps
- V Neckline Front And Back

Drop Back Lace Skater Dress

£35.00

All over lace dress in mint features a sleeveless design

with a v-shaped drop back and centre back zip (also available in white)

- Classic Lace design

- Dramatic drop back

- High neckline

- Sweetheart neck detail

- Bow detailing at base of dropped back

- Fully lined in skirt & front of bust

Shell: 59% Cotton 41% Nylon Lining: 100% Polyester

Model wears size 10 height 5ft10

 

I have to admit from the photos, the quality of the skirt looks much higher with Chi Chi, I love the frilly seams that are so characteristic to their dress range. However, I am very partial to a dramatic drop back! - I just wish the bow was a little more dramatic too, had that been the case, I think Matalan would have been a winner for me.

But for the sake of £8.99 I think on this occasion I would be more inclined to splurge!

 

Which dress would you prefer? Chi Chi or Matalan?

So as you can see, EtailPR & Chi Chi have teamed up again to give us another chance to win an amazing prize! All you have to do is make a collage of your favourite items to enter!

 

For my collage I decided to go with my 4 favourite blue dresses on the website right now. Normally I'm a warm tones kind of girl, but I couldn't help but fall in love with all 4 of these gorgeous cocktail/prom dresses.

I'm an absolute sucker for lace too which is something that Chi Chi does very well. Everything is so pretty & feminine. Perfect for special occasions or all of you glamorous shoppers out there!

 

 I think my favourite out of the four above is definitely the gorgeous iced blue Megan dress, again it's because of the lace. The cut is really classy & would be absolutely perfect for a summer wedding with a nude shoe & simple clutch bag. - It just makes me want to go shopping for fascinators!
