Stella McCartney dress

Stella McCartney dress

Volume is set to be a huge trend this year with celebrities from Girls Aloud's Kimberly Walsh to Hollywood's Jessica Alba even chief fashionista Victoria Beckham working the puffball look.

This season volume has gone exaggerated and no-one showcased this trend better than Stella McCartney in her Spring Summer 09 show. The nipped in waistline contrasts the huge skirt and the high shine fabric gives the dress a luxurious look.

The plunge neckline looks great but is only for the daring and those with boobs on the larger side should stay clear or risk spilling out of it.

Luckily for us Miss Selfridge have come up trumps and created a high street equivalent of the designer lovely with a non-designer price tag of £50.

This black dress encompasses the volume skirt just like Stella's offering and follows the high shine trend. It may even be better though as the breast area looks a bit more secure and it comes with straps to stop us messing about with tit-tape and what-not.

Miss Selfridge, we salute you!
