If you are a regular reader of my blog you will know how much I adore striped clothes, and this is no exception. Paired with a delightfully cute belt bow this dress is everything I love about nautical feminine dresses.<\/p>\n<p>The cold shoulder trend is something I&#8217;ve only recently been trying out, and actually I really like it. It allows me to feel a little bit sexy without being cold (I get that it&#8217;s called a cold shoulder but you don&#8217;t actually feel cold while wearing it).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-353 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder2-465x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Nautical Cold Shoulder2\" width=\"465\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder2-465x1024.jpg 465w, https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder2-136x300.jpg 136w, https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder2-768x1690.jpg 768w, https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder2.jpg 1363w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-352 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder-517x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Nautical Cold Shoulder\" width=\"517\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder-517x1024.jpg 517w, https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder-152x300.jpg 152w, https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder-768x1520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder.jpg 1516w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-354 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder3-460x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Nautical Cold Shoulder3\" width=\"460\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder3-460x1024.jpg 460w, https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder3-135x300.jpg 135w, https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder3-768x1710.jpg 768w, https:\/\/severnwishes.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Nautical-Cold-Shoulder3.jpg 1347w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The dress is made of good quality material that will wash well because it&#8217;s made of 96% cotton. I found that it&#8217;s a flattering fit and very comfortable to wear due to the soft material used. I think the length of the dress is excellent for the style, I prefer to purchase knee length dresses for my height and found this perfect for that. The soft belt that can be tied into a bow is a lovely accessory to the outfit and allows a focus point between all of the stripes. I paired the dress with my white flat shoes with bows but it would also work with a variety of footwear dependent on the occasion.<\/p>\n<p>I would accessorize this dress with lots of bangles on my arms, shoulder length earrings and a hair piece to keep the nautical theme going. If I needed to layer for\u00a0an evening I would choose either a black leather jacket or a white cardigan.<\/p>\n<p>My final review for this beautiful piece of clothing is:<br \/>\n5\/5 for comfort<br \/>\n5\/5 for durability and quality<br \/>\n5\/5 for style and appearance<br \/>\n5\/5 for value<\/p>\n<p>For anyone interested in purchasing the dress here is the link\u00a0http:\/\/www.dorothyperkins.com\/en\/dpuk\/product\/dresses-203543\/view-all-dresses-2523253\/stripe-cold-shoulder-dress-5383365?bi=60&amp;ps=20<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I saw this beautiful dress on the Dorothy Perkins website I knew I just had to have it.
