OOTD: “The City Chic Georgia Maxi Pleat Gown”

For my event that I hosted yesterday I wore this pleated maxi gown from Australian plus-size retailer City Chic.  As a host I wanted to wear something upscale and formal and this gown was befitting for the occasion. City Chic sent it to me back in March and although it was still a little too cold at that time to wear it, the weather is currently perfect for wearing it.  Now I will admit, I am not usually a ‘pleats’ kinda girl but it was something about this dress when I saw it on the website that drew me to it. The soft & sheer chiffon flows beautifully over curves and features a gorgeous black & white pattern, a pleated bust, adjustable straps & the gown is fully lined. It was a head-turner and I was so comfortable in it. Mainly because I didn’t have to wear but only a strapless bra under it and not a full bodyshaper. The back of the gown is a unique V-shape and I adjusted the straps to fit me just right. I’m about 5’9 and the gown is really long so you would need at least a 4-inch heel for it to fall perfectly over your shoes. I paired the gown with my favorite pearls and  Hello Kitty Luisa Heels.
