French Connection – body con dressing like the stars

Herve Leger dresses have had huge popularity over the last few seasons and we often see celebrities with an array in different colours. At around £1500 a pop, they’re not cheap but the bandage dresses have been a favourite with celebs and fashionistas gaining a cult following from Elle MacPherson, Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian and just about every other celeb who knows what looks good.

 

 

The spandex, rayon and nylon create a spanx like material that holds you in place creating the most-sought after hour glass body shape with no lumps and bumps to be seen. That’s why we’re big fans of this gorgeous style dress and why we’re bringing you today these stunning French Connection versions in our sale with up to 75% off. They start from just £47 (RRP £125) so it’s even easier to get the high-glamour look the savvy way.…
