Pockets

Whoever thought of adding pockets to dresses was a genius. Pockets are a big selling point for me; on a short outing I could ditch my bag at home and keep all my essentials in them. I never hold stuff in the pockets of my trousers because... let’s be honest, it just looks awful. But when I get a dress like this one pockets come as a blessing. Whether you need to hold your stuff or to skilfully stuff canapés (see what I did there?) when leaving a wedding they can do no wrong. Dresses can be just like a Kinder Surprise Egg – you try them on, like the colour, love the fit and then you discover it has pockets. BAM. Sold.
