Secret Honey Jasmine Damask Dress
Hello everyone, welcome back to another post. Today, I would like to show you this Jasmine Damask dress from Secret Honey. I love all the Jasmine dresses so much, this one is no different! The colour is so beautiful. Here you can find all the Jasmine pieces, I have already written about.
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 Rapunzel Maxidress.
If you would like to know more about the brand and about how you can get these dresses, I have got you covered in this post. I also sometimes sell dresses from my collection, check out my shop or my Instagram, I usually list them there.
The Jasmine Damask Dress
I absolutely love this dress. It’s another off the shoulder dress though, so please excuse the sleeves looking a bit sad in the photos, my dress form has no arms 🙂 Here is the dress from the front:
I usually don’t really enjoy empire waist dresses but with the Jasmine dresses, I make an exception. They all look very nice. I rather have the waist really high than somewhere in between my chest and natural waist. That looks awful, because it doesen’t highlight my smallest point but instead a bigger circumference. Here is the dress from the side:
And here it is from the back. The tulle overlay creates a high-low hem which I like a lot:
Sizing and Closure
There is no sizing chart that I could point you to and I cannot wear the dress at the moment, because it’s too small. Soooo… I’d say it fits up to a small size M, just to be conservative. There is room for the bust and the back has shirring, but I’m just not sure since I didn’t have the opportunity to wear it yet. I will update this part once I have worn the dress 🙂 As I already said, shirring in the back:
The straps are adjustable but not detachable:
The Bodice
Now let’s have a look at the details of this wonderful dress, starting with the bodice. Here is a look at the whole bodice:
The Print
The bodice has a beautiful ornamental print in the center front in white and a lighter green-blue than the shade of the dress:
The Gemstone
Then we have a gemstone decorating the centre of the neckline. It is see-through and surrounded by small beads:
The Sleeves
The sleeves are meant to be worn off the shoulders, if you don’t they look funny. They are made from a double layer of the chiffon overlay fabric and pleated.
The Waistband
The waistband of any Jasmine dress is an eye-catcher, this one is no exception. It is a woven waistband that looks like embroidered linen and it is decorated with glass stones (well, they’re plastic, but they look like glass) and little plastic beads.
In the centre we have four gemstones in light blue and pink as well as beads hanging down from the waistband:
The Skirt
The skirt is very pretty. It’s three layers of fabric, a tulle overlay, the fashion fabric (chiffon?) and a lining layer that feels like cotton. But they are all three polyester fabrics. Let’s have a look at the details:
The Embroidery
The tulle layer is embroidered with golden thread. It is always a riddle to me, how they embroider tulle… I would never try that… But they do and I love it. In the back, we have some sort of plant or something. I see this symbol a lot, but to be honest, I’m not expert enough to know what it is ^^’ The symbol of Agrabah maybe?
The tulle layer is finished with some lace that you can also see pretty clearly on this picture.
In the front, we have the same motives embroidered on both sides. Some ornaments, a cloud and the lamp:
The Fabric Print
We not only have a border print on this dress, we also have a pretty print on the fabric, some ornaments and some flowers:
Here is a close up of one of the flowers:
As you can see, there are scratches on the fabric, i bought the dress quite cheap. I will probably never sell it because of that. But I like it a lot as well, so I can live with that.
The Border Print
The Border Print is really pretty to look at as a whole since all the motives are connected:
Let’s have a look at all the motives in detail from left to right. First up we have Jasmine and the lamp:
Then we have Genie:
In the middle we have Aladdin and Jasmine flying on the magic carpet:
Then we have the magic carpet again together with Abu:
And last but not least we have a print showing Jasmine again:
And that is already it for today’s post. I hope you enjoyed having a look at this Jasmine Damask dress with me and love the details as much as I do. Thanks a lot for reading and I see you in my next post.
Love,
Ella

The embroidery is so gorgeous!
I love it too, embroidery always elevates a dress in my opinion 🙂
