I just can’t shake the image of a peacock fanning its feathers when I look at these photos. The ruffles of this dress look like I have my own tiny, rainbow-colored peacock tail. Haha. Or maybe that’s just my brain on too much caffeine?

But anyways! This is a dress I have had on my radar for many, many moons! My friend, Ashlee, had sent me a Pin of it quite a while ago and suggested I should give it a go. I put it on my imaginary wishlist and hemmed and hawed about for months. (Let’s be honest, I don’t need another dress.) But, when the lovely folks over at FashionMia offered to send me it, I couldn’t have been more excited!

And while this dress is gorgeous (and it’s only $25!), and my desensitized-to-my-wardrobe husband approved of it as well… holy moly is it tight! I was not expecting that when I ordered it. Most of my skater dresses give me ample breathing room. However, I should’ve sized up with this one. The material doesn’t have much give and one size up would have certainly solved the problem. (I had ordered my normal size medium – FYI.) So, make sure you read the measurements carefully and size up if you’re in between sizes. That one was on me!

**Update to this post: An Instagram friend had also ordered it after me and said sizing up a whole size for her was not enough and she had to return it. Unfortunately, the return process hasn’t been so smooth for her either (she’s still waiting for a refund 5 months later!). She also said shipping took quite a long time (like 5 or 6 weeks!). It took about 2 1/2 weeks to reach me, and I have not tried to return anything yet. I just wanted you all to be aware of this if you do decide to order from FashionMia – the prices are great (this dress is $26), but shipping, sizing, returns, etc. can get very difficult.

Also, by the time this post publishes, I will be in Atlanta, Georgia! I’m kind of “flying by the seat of my pants” for this portion of the trip, so if anyone has any recommendations of must-do things in Atlanta, I’m all ear (or eyes?) in the comments section! Thank you!

And do you have any dresses in your closet that make you feel as pretty as a peacock? Let me know in the comments too!

  1. Very cute dress.. love the colours! About them being tight.. I’ve had that too with some of the dresses that were sent to me.. I usually get a medium, but sometimes a large would have been better. And yes, a couple of times.. I just didn’t read the sizing for that specific item, but a lot of the times.. it’s just incorrect. Ah well.. 😛

    Love those heels too.. they’re so cute and sexy! 🙂

    1. Oh jeez, I didn’t realize sometimes they are just incorrect. For this one, looking at the measurements, I was in between sizes and just went with my normal size. But that’s no good that sometimes they just aren’t right! And thank you, Tassia! These heels get so much use they’re about to fall apart haha. 🙂

  2. Really do like this beautiful dress, it suits you beautifully! Great colours and very unique indeed.
