text: Well hello sailor.\n\nWhen I had a 1940s event to attend (maybe a Yelp Elite Event that I was hosting...)  I realised I had nothing to wear to the ball! I had visited Lady Jojo's a few times, and never been able to justify buying a beautiful frock, with no occasion that called for a stunning piece of tailoring.\n\nAnd so when the question arose of where I could get the perfect dress for my final hurrah and my last Elite Event as the CM, I knew where to go. The dresses aren't ever  at bargain prices, and for good reason. I'd wager the average price is around \u00a370. I spied a beautiful one on the sale rack, luckily in my size... et voila. It fit like a glove. Or a glass slipper. Or the most beautiful dress I've ever worn.\n\nAs I was there, I tried on 5 different dresses out of curiosity. Holy mama. Why don't we dress like this any more? I know women used to have to wear dresses only, and it was a big revelation when we could wear trousers without being considered weird. And I do like trousers, they are practical. But every single one of these dresses fit like a dream, and flattered me in all the right places. More so than any 'vintage inspired' dress from high street shop.\n\nThe tailoring is of the highest standard. You know that whoever designed, sewed and fitted this dress was doing it with the sole purpose of making which ever femme fatale wear that dress, that they would look fabulous and nothing less.\n\nIt does sound like I'm blowing my own trumpet. But given the amount of compliments I got on the dress and my outfit on the night, I can assure you that it was certainly the beautifully made and fitting dress that stole the show. No high street brand dress would ever make me look or feel that fabulous.\n\nThe dress could be worn again, admittedly not just for a laid back Friday date night dinner. But it's low key enough that it will do for birthday parties, new years eve parties... if only I could get away with wearing it to the cinema, brunch, my grocery shopping...\n\nI love the dress, I love the shop, I wish I had more reasons and moolah to shop here. A very special \"treat\" shop, for that once a year special occasion. But if you are feeling like you're having a bad hair day, go to Lady Jojo's and try on one or five of these dresses. You will look fabulous, and will brighten your day no end.
