Ciao Bella Travel is a very cool travel accessories online shop, and their team kindly gave me the opportunity to test out Sacha Drake’s Ultimate Black Dress.

They are also offering 15% off the dress to all my readers*.

Now I’ve heard of this dress before in the press and media. And I guess it was one of those things I quickly pass off as media hype.

Haha and even when I received the package, I was like, OK whatever, let’s see what the big fuss is all about.

But as I played with it, I was positively charmed.

So much so, I pranced around the lounge room and made my husband count how many styles I wore and said, YOU SHALL APPRECIATE!

There are over 20 ways to wear the dress, but I’m only showing the 10 ways that I would DEFINITELY wear it.

It turns into a skirt too. And you can wear it as a maternity dress.

So if you’re sick to death of photos of me, my boring smile, the irritating way I don’t look at the camera, and the uninteresting way I put my hands on my hips – LOOK AWAY!

Strapless. Scoop Neck. One Shoulder.

Cross Over Halter. V Neck. Cap Sleeve.

Tie Front Halter. Baby Doll (Maternity). Cowl Neck.

What I love about the dress:

Quality – Good quality fabric and feels strong. It doesn’t feel like it will RIP if you step out of your car the wrong way.

Fabric – Slinky, soft, stretchy, figure flattering and hangs really nicely. It’s perfect for its function.

Over 20 Styles – The dress turns into all the classic styled dresses – halter neck, strapless, one shoulder, V neck, Scoop neck, cap sleeves. And each style ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD.

Price – Since I would definitely wear this dress in 10 different styles, that makes each “dress” cost about $29 (and 15% less if you take up the sale offer).

Travel – It rolls up and takes up very little room. No need for ironing.

Easy To Style – No buttons or complicated twisting. It’s just pull, pull and tie.

Comfortable – There were some styles, which I was skeptical as to whether it would actually be comfortable. But nope. They all felt great to wear.

Suits Curvy Women – I have to be honest and say that I felt that I didn’t quite “FILL” the dress out to all its potential glory. The dress definitely suits petite-sizes like me, but I think curvy and voluptuous women would make this dress (and show off the styles) even MORE FABULOUS. I need bigger boobs and hips!

As I said, Ciao Bella Travel is offering all my readers 15% off Sacha Drake’s UBD* (Black or Indigo) for 2 days only. Go check it out!

*To receive your discount just enter promo code KAREN CHENG in the promo code box when you reach the checkout.

I’m wearing the UBD Petite Size (8/10). I’m usually an Australian Size 6/8, USA 2/4, UK 4/6.

The sizes and measurements are on the product page.

Happy shopping, and hope you love the dress as much as I do!
