Welcome to a new regular post at Styling You – The Model and Me. Ever looked at a model wearing an item of clothing that appeals to you and dismissed the purchase out of hand? Yep, me too. Well, I’m here to tell you that you SHOULD get into that change room and give the object of your desire a try. You may not look like the model, but you never know, it just may look right for you.
Metalicus is an Australian lifestyle label that I’m a fan of. Many people I know are scared to buy the label because of its “one size fits most” concept. And yes, there are designs that I won’t go near but in every collection there is always a gem that becomes a firm favourite in my wardrobe.
So, here is the dress I just bought (but in a different colourway) on a lovely, young, petite model:
Metalicus Stripes are Fun tank dress $189 layered over a half-sleeve tee and worn under the Tick Tock Half Sleeve Studded Cardi $159
And here it is on me:
The burgundy striped version worn layered over a half-sleeved top and with a Lucky Vest $119 and Ruffled Scarf $119
Want this dress for yourself? I don’t mind sharing a look. Buy it here.

Thanks so much for doing this, excellent idea. We all see the dress and think about how it would look on our body.
