The Take 10 Girls are back with a new challenge! This month we’re working with Max C to style this beautiful Pleated Swan Pearls Dress.
It was love at first sight between me and this dress – the soft pleats, dusky pink colour, pearls arranged in the shape of swans – it’s so fabulously girly I can hardly bear it. So how did I style it?

Max C Pleated Swan Pearls Dress, Schuh brogues, Primark ring


Sweet and simple was my strategy – I let the candy colours speak for themselves by teaming the dress with pretty brogues and an oversized ring. The dress was a little short on me (I’m 5’7) and think it could look slightly obscene with heels, so I’ll be sticking to flats when I wear it again for a wedding later this summer.
See what my Take 10 sisters did with the dress – these girls are stylin’!

What do you think of challenge 10? Are you loving the sugar-sweet perfection of this dress?
I love this dress, I’m 5’7 too and hate when dresses are too small, Topshop being one of the main culprits!
You look so lovely and I have to say that I’m still loving the grown-out hair. Imagine it’s annoying you like crazy but looks so nice! x
love this dress! the pearl detail is gorgeous xx

I always love reading these posts to see how everyone styled their items. Yours looks lovely, such a lovely colour on you, i love how you’ve dressed it down slightly!

This dress is amazing. I love how you all wear it, but particularly how you chose to style it so minimally. The white ring and light brogues are just the right touch to make it casual but put the emphasis on the dress. Lovely
Oh this is lovely! I’m 5 foot 9 though, which is a damn shame. Would probs get arrested!
Love this dress! Probably one of the prettiest I’ve seen in the take 10 challenge! Jen, you look awesome!
Perfect styling and my gosh you look so pretty…the dress suits you down to a tee, beautiful!

P.S. Now following you!
Oh so nearly bought this dress last week but i wasn’t sure if it would suit me as i’m only 5’2. After looking at your take 10 photos i’m starting to regret it.
I love your simple approach to the dress – so pretty!
Love the dress, such a gorgeous colour and love how you’ve styled it so simply. x
man is it really our tenth challenge thats made!! love this dress with your pixie hair and simple brogues 🙂 x
It’s a lovely dress, and really suits you 🙂 I have the opposite problem to you with dresses, I’m 5’2, so they’re often far too long!

i really love those beaded swans!
It was such a pretty dress: definitely one of my favourites. I love how you took away the belt to make it a more flowy dress.
Adorable dress! You look lovely in it. I want it but I’m 5’11 so I think it’s a no-go for me 🙁
Gorgeous dress, looks so pretty on you all. Love all the different styling.
I’m 5’7 and it seems to be an average height so I’m unsure why companies feel the need to make things mega short. It’d look gorgeous with some wedges.

i really love the dress too, i love it with the brogues, you’ve made it your own.
The colour really suits your colouring. xxx
I love this dress, the swans are lovely 🙂

You look gorge as always – love it with flats!
I absolutely love this dress and the ways in which you all styled are absolutely stunning! Bit gutted you’ve said it’s short on you because I think it would end up being a top on me! I love the blue version, quite glad it’s out of stock so I don’t spend money on it!x
It is a super cutesy dress x
It’s gorgeous! Pleats are so popular right now 🙂
I love the little pearl swans and the pleats get a thumbs up. You look lovely as usual Jen! Can;t put a foot wrong 🙂
