Secret Honey Anna Skating Dress and Blouse

Hello everyone, welcome back to another post. Today I would like to show you my Anna Ice Skating dress from 2014 from Secret Honey. This is the first iteration of this dress and I still love it to this day. It is a jumper skirt, very simple and suitable for everyday wear.

I showcase one of my Disney pieces every two weeks, you can check out my other posts if you like. Last time I showed you my Secret Honey Frozen Sweater.

If you would like to know more about the brand and about how you can get these dresses, I have got you covered in several posts. Here are some resources to start your very own Secret Honey collection.

The Anna Skating Dress and Blouse

I absolutel love this dress. It holds so many good memories for me. This one and the 2014 Anna Snow Mountain dress were the dresses, I used to wear to university, mainly for the Thomas Mann lecture I had one semester. I never liked Thomas Mann so I had to make up for it with my outfits. And I loved wearing them to uni. So comfy and everyday but still Disney.

Here you see the dress from the front:

Since the straps are adjustable with three buttons, this dress actually sits on my natural waist, which I like very much. It is also quite roomy in the bust area which is another plus point for it. I’d say this dress fits up to a small size M.

Here it is from the side:

The skirt doesn’t have that much volume, which I find a bit of a let down, I love voluminous skirts the best since they give the appearance of an hour glass figure. But the velvet tape around the hem gives it some stiffness which does actually help with the hour glass.

And here is the dress from the back:

Here is the blouse together with the dress on my dress form:

The Facts

This dress pops up sometimes on second hand sites, usually for a reasonable price too. It is the less popular version. The blouse however is more difficult to get.

Size and Closure

The dress closes with a zipper and a hook and an eye in the center back. The straps are adjustable in length with three buttons. There is shirring on both sides of the back making the dress fit a small size M.

The blouse closes with a row of buttons in the back. I find this very elegant, but it is also very uncomfortable when you lean against a chair or something…

Measurements

(Amateur-)measured with shirring extended (for dress):

Blouse:

Chest: around 90 cm

Dress:

Chest: ca. 95 cm
Waist: ca. 75 cm

Fit on me

I do like how the dress fits on me. The waist is in the right place since there are the buttons to make the straps longer. It is very short however. The blouse is tight over my bust without a sports bra. Also the sleeves are too short on me and therefore the cuffs do not close. I also think my shoulders are still a bit too wide for it. But all in all it is a pretty outfit.

Trim and Buttons

The center front of the bodice is decorated with olive green trim and white and gold buttons. I think on the buttons there are lions, a shield and a crown, but I could be wrong:

Here I have a close up of one of the buttons for you:

The Print

This dress has a subtle fabric print using the emblem of Arendelle:

Like on most Secret Honey dresses, we have a border print on this one. What is special is, that the print is not repeated on the back of the dress, it just goes all around the dress.

In between the characters, and beneath Olaf, we do have a print that represents the embroidery on Anna’s skating dress. Here is the motive in between the characters:

And this is the one beneath them:

The hem is bound with a forest green velvet band which gives the skirt a nice form:

The dress is fully lined. As you can see, the skirt has two layers, the fashion fabric and a lining layer:

The Blouse

Let us now have a look at this beautiful blouse. It was released in two colours, green and a pinkish white. If you are interested in the other colourway, you can find it in this blogpost. Here is the green version on my dress form, first from the front:

Here is the blouse from the side. The photo of the back is further up in the post 🙂

The blouse does have super cute shoulder frills. They do a little bit whatever they want though:

There is embroidery on the collar, the chest and the cuffs in silver. The white blouse has golden embroidery. Here you can see the collar:

The clasp is absolutely stunning, here is a closer look at it:

There is embroidery running down the centre front of the blouse:

And then, there is Anna. I love this little detail. If you wear the dress with the longest straps possible, Anna peeks out above the neckline.

Last but not least, here is a look at the cuffs. It closes with three buttons and is embroidered as well:

One last photo of me wearing the dress for you:

And this is it for today’s post guys. Thanks a lot for reading, I hope you enjoyed having a detailed look at this Anna Ice Skating dress and blouse from 2014. Thanks again and I wish you a good one.
