Just like everyone else I know, I've already powered through the second season of Bridgerton. And then I watched it a second time. Who could blame me?
The show has everything I could want, whilst making me yearn to promenade in a fancy dress (even if it is cold outside). As I tuned in for That Wedding, I couldn't help but notice Daphne, the season one lead, was wearing a lilac dress that reminded me of something in my own wardrobe.
My go to dress for afternoon teas often brings comments that it looks like something out of Bridgerton, but now it's undeniable. ISAWITFIRST happen to have a lilac dress of a very similar shape, although it does have a slit along the leg and doesn't require a corset.
It's neckline mirrors Daphne's with it being quite boxy and then there's the tiny sleeves that puff out. The material is much less stiff than I imagine the dresses on the show to be, with it quite easily falling to give an off the shoulder look. But I find myself not minding that too much.
It does require a strapless bra, or for you to go without a bra altogether if you intend to wear it like you belong on the show. I find the dress to feel quite elegant, but it's not restrictive at all. You can eat to your heart's content without worrying you'll end up stretching it uncomfortably.
I'm quite short and find the length to stop around my ankles, which makes me feel quite confident that most people would be able to wear it without a strict need for heels. That said, it would pair quite beautifully with a small mule. You don't have to break the bank to feel like you're part of the elite that are gracing our screens, this dress is just £30.
Although it is selling fast, so I wouldn't wait around to grab it. It also comes in an orange floral look that wouldn't be out of place with the Featherington household that I'm sure to wear all summer long, although I'm not sure I could see the Duchess wearing something quite so bright.
Have you found your wardrobe is becoming inspired by the show? Let us know in the comments.
