Street Style: Molly Dobbs' Blue Shift Dress


After a few requests for Molly Dobb's blue zipper shift dress she wore when throwing nasty Jackie Dobbs out of the corner shop, I've decided to do a street style edition on it.

Molly Dobbs' has been dressing very "pussycat doll" lately, at least according to mother-in-law Jackie. I've also noticed her dressing this way as well. As Tvor pointed out in the comment section of last Thursday's episode review, she's dressing to the nines on the thought that Kev will come in there and find her irresistible again, and it'd have all been worth it.

I personally don't think Molly suits the whole "pussycat doll" look. I also found this dress to be far to much for a corner store worker. It also had airs of something that Rosie Webster would wear with all the snugness, cleavage and zippering. She does look good in it, but I think it more suits a night out or date. Just something other than ringing up crackers and soda at the cash register.

I have looked through all the shops online, but could not find an identical match. Molly has worn this dress a few times before in the past, so most likely, it's slightly older and wouldn't be in new inventory online at the moment in many stores. I have done my best to find some similar alternatives. I think the key stylish aspects of this dress are the bright vibrant blue colour, as well as the shift shape. Both are very much in the "now" at the moment.

Here were my finds:
1) ASOS Panelled Jersey Bodycon Dress, ASOS (click here)
2) Gina Bacconi Bow Front Shift Dress Bluebell, John Lewis (click here)
3) Hobbs Emily Shift Dress Blue, John Lewis (click here)
4) French Connection Fast Crush V-Zip Dress Blue, John Lewis (click here)
5) Pleat Neck Shift Dress, New Look (click here)
