Oh gosh I didn't realise I had forgotten to post June's issue, so you get a double whammy now!

I am not normally a fan of the sun-cover-up-tunic type dress but I quite like this one. I think it is because the of the fitted long sleeves plus I could see it with the waist cinched in tighter and it would make a cute day dress.

I really love this dress, it is the designer pattern from Luisa Beccaria, who I must confess I had not heard of but she makes the most fabulous light and airy evening dresses with lots of lace and ruffles so she is right up my street. I love the chiffon fabric used here and I think the halter style would be very flattering and the cute little ruffle round the hem is so sweet!

I know bubble skirts are a Marmite item of clothing (I am in the hate it camp) and technically this is a bubble skirt. However I really like it. It is not that pronounced and I like the fact it twists to the side creating an interesting detail. Also the blue stripe they have made it with makes it look really casual, I think it would be great in a similar shirting fabric.

The DIY section of the magazine involves the gem stone trend that has been seen on the runways. In this section they have used craft foam which I don't think would survive the washing machine but I think it would work well with felt or fabric too. Quite a cool way to jazz up a plain outfit.

I quite like this romantic floaty skirt though I don't think I would pair it with a sweatshirt, it could look great for a summer wedding.

This is quite a simple wrap dress though I would be a bit annoyed if it kept blowing open as the picture shows. I am thinking this could be made reversible or lined in case it does.

This is my pick for my least favourite. It might not be obvious why, it is pretty much a simple halter neck but there are two versions in this mag and neither of them seem to fit properly. The problem seems to be at the bust and shoulders where is is gaping on the model which leads me to think I would have no chance getting it to fit me properly!
