Monday November 16th, 2009 16:23 Black Halo on a budget

I’ve wanted the Black Halo Jackie O dress since forever. Especially after my girl crush Christina Hendricks wore it.

The Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences' "Inside. Mad Men"

So thank you, thank you a million times thank you to ASOS for coming up with the goods.

Not identical, but close enough, and it’s made from a softer, stretchier fabric. I wore it on Friday and definitely got £38 worth of compliments. It’s getting increasingly difficult to find dresses that flatter at the moment with everything being really short and sparkly and huuuuuuge in the shoulder department, but I’d go as far as to say this probably looks better on a curvier woman than it does on the model. I’m now tempted to buy it in red and purple as well…

    You did indeed look lovely on Friday :-)

    Perfect dress for your Mad Men party, no?

    Totally agree with you about all the flashy/short/sparkly dresses out there at the minute. Really, really love this dress. And it does look better on a curvier girl I think – that model doesn’t do it justice.

    Ah Sian, I have a dress for the Mad Men party that’s waaaay better. But you’ll just have to wait and see!
