It seems like lockdown or no lockdown, people can't get enough of pretty dresses. Case in point: on Sunday 26th April, London brand KITRI launched some new spring styles, including the Maguire Polka Dot Tea Dress and the Nicola Floral Print Tea Dress, which were so popular they sold out in just 24 hours.

However there is some good news, because they are being re-issued especially, and you have until 3pm Thursday 7th May to pre-order yours. They will then be produced, and shipped to you on Monday 18th May, so a pretty quick turnaround.

It's not the first time KITRI has come up with sell-out dresses, its green Gabriella dress had a 700-people strong waiting list two years ago, after influencer The Fashion Guitar was spotted wearing it, and last year its pink gingham dress sold out within 48 hours of launching.

It's easy to see the appeal of the dresses. They have just the right vintage nod without looking dated, and can be worn in a plethora of ways.

I personally love them teamed with a kitten heels if I'm feeling fancy, or a thong sandal if I want a more casual look.

They look equally great with chunky trainers, or with slippers if you just want to be comfy at home.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
