Christina from the Silver Cat Tea Party blog wrote a very insightful review of the Victory Floral Louise dress by Trashy Diva. We loved it so much that we asked her if we could share her blog post on the Cats Like Us blog!
Just before Christmas Trashy Diva released their newest print, Victory Floral!
This dress falls into Trashy Diva's knit rayon collection like the Jennys and Mansfields from a few years back. But unlike the sweater-ish thicker jersey-type feel of the Jennys and Mansfields from their solid knit rayon collection, the rayon for this collection is a lot more lightweight with a soft linen like textured feel to it. This is the loveliest rayon fabric that I've ever seen on any of Trashy Diva's dresses. It is soft and stretchy, super comfortable, yet has a great flow and wears extremely well.
The fabric on this dress is not the only thing new in this collection. The cut I picked out, the Louise dress, is also an all new design, one of three in fact, by the company. The Louise is a somewhat simplistic cut which is easy to throw on and look fabulous without any muss or fuss. It features a modest-conscious front v-neckline, a flattering back v-neckline, ruching at the bust, slightly capped sleeves, and a flattering flowy circle skirt. It also features an invisible side zip which allows for uninterrupted print on the back of the dress. This collection came in six different dresses to choose from which, as mentioned before, includes three completely new cuts as well as the long awaited return of the Sadie Ruffle dress. With so much on offer it was a hard decision indeed which cut to pick out!
Now for the print: Victory floral is one of those amazing prints that can be coordinated with a plethora of colors to mix or match with it! I love prints such as these in which you can completely transform your look by coordinating different colors with it. This print features a navy background with yellow and purple flowers. Within the flowers are white highlights and maroon shadows with green leaves scattered throughout-- so many colors to play around with!

I was able to pick this dress up from one of my favorite online shops, Cats Like Us who still has it in stock for a great price! While I'm a solid 10 in Trashy Diva due to the stretch knit material I was able to size down one size in this with no problems for a perfect fit. I think if I ordered my normal size this would have fit me a little loose in the waist.
