Mary Portas dress success at House of Fraser

If you haven't checked out Mary Portas' debut fashion collection, we suggest you do so sharpish, as the Queen of Shops' range of figure-flattering dresses for House of Fraser is proving to be a runaway success. Designed with the over-40s in mind, the quality fabrics, superb cuts and clean blocks of colour and black do wonders for nipping and tucking the silhouette in all the right places. "Us grown up women are modern, cool and want contemporary fashion that works for our lifestyle. Everything I've designed and selected for my shop, I did so with this in mind" explains Mary. The collection contains some real gems that we at Team LBD think will flatter the under-40s too, from slash neck shifts, to colour-pop wraps and Mary's trademark black leather dress. The Antonio Dress is perfect for curvy girls as well as boyish figures, because of its flattering scoop neck, which emphasises a beautiful bust, while the fitted waist cinches and sculpts a feminine silhouette, whatever your size. But our favourite is the No-Brainer Dress, which features a simple slash neck and loose jersey fit that is perfect for dressing up or down, and a steal at £135 for a dress Mary says is "without doubt the best in the collection."
