Top Five: Anthropologie spring dresses

Anthrospringdresses

Oh no, here I am, drooling all over myself again (bet you're glad I told you that). I made the fatal mistake of checking out what Gorgeousness Heaven (otherwise known as Anthropologie), has to offer in the way of dresses for spring. While I wanted to share some with you in this top five, I had a really hard time choosing just a handful - they really do design so many fabulous, feminine things...

Top row, from left: 'Myrtle' dress in navy silk with brick-red colour-block details ($168). The fern pattern in muted colours makes a refreshing change to floral. Dove grey 'Gypsophila' has a lightly-boned bodice to help you stay in this strapless dress, and platinum silk trims the unusual stylised floral-printed organdy ($168). What a colour splash this 'Yuma' voile dress makes! Look closely using the zoom feature on the site to see the delicate pintuck detailing on the front ($148).

Bottom row, from left: this 'Losa' silk dress from Plenty by Tracy Reese has a gorgeous contrasting print banding the empire waist and hem that works beautifully with the amethyst floral background print. I'm not so sure about the nape tie (seen in the back view on the site), but it's a stunning dress nonetheless ($188).

This last dress is so sweet I really want it, even though it wouldn't suit me in a million years. Maybe I could just hang it on the wall as art and stroke it from time to time? Are we allowed to do that? It's the sweetly-named 'Drowsy' babydoll by Viola in raspberry voile with a cutout cream top layer and vintage-style empire-line bodice ($168).

I love them, but they'd never suit me. They'd balloon over my backside and make me look like a pack mule.

Oh, wow! The purple and blue/peach dresses are seriously stunning. Bring on the dresses, I say! :)

Gorgeous aren't they? I rather have my eye on that navy, fern-decorated one. I think it'd suit me, but a pain to have to send it back to the US if it doesn't.

I could EAT them... I want every single one of them :)

Oh wow, they are all rather pretty, but the dove grey one in the top middle is just absolutely darling!

I bought the bright swirly red and gold and purple one for my little sister, Noelle, and trust me it makes you look fabulous. The colors really bring out a golden skin tone and the fit is so slimming on the top. It's the perfect effortlessly gorgeous dress.

The navy one is not as flatering as it looks due to the crease in the center, but it is the prettiest silk. I bought the Yuma and it is SO flattering. Even with hips, it drapes beautifully!
