Zara just brought out a Bambi dress and it’s surprisingly chic

Now I'm as Disney obsessed as the next person (The Little Mermaid is my favourite, thanks for asking), however I've always drawn the line at Disney clothing, finding it well, a bit naff.

That was until now that is, because Zara has just released a Bambi dress that is probably one of the chicest things I've ever seen.

It's got a high neck and cinched waist, as well as a pleated skirt and gives me all the 70s vibes paired with high boots.

You might not realise at first glance, but the grey pattern is actually made up of Bambi, Thumper and Flower sketches, and they blend perfectly into the cream background, not taking anything away from the style of the dress.

The dress is part of a capsule collection of work between Zara and Disney, which features never-before seen original printed graphics from the Bambi and Peter Pan films that Disney have shared with Zara.

There are four pieces in the collection, the dress, a blouse, t-shirt and sweatshirt, all priced between £15.99 – £29.99.

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.
