Louise Thompson channels confidence through fashion, as seen in her recent Nobody’s Child collection. The former Made in Chelsea star appeared on This Morning alongside her husband Ryan to share their surrogacy journey. She chose the Cream Lace Trim Jasmine Midi Dress from her edit, calling it ‘my armour’ in an Instagram caption. This piece provided quiet strength during a vulnerable discussion.
Collection Inspiration and Dress Details
The collection draws from Louise’s experiences navigating motherhood, work, rest, and celebration. Each item supports a dynamic wardrobe for life’s stages and comes in petite and regular lengths to suit various body types. Standout options include gingham rompers and 70s-style dungarees.
The Cream Lace Trim Jasmine Midi Dress features underbust seams, a tie-back detail, and a drop waist leading to a floaty tiered skirt. Sheer lace and pintuck accents add a romantic, feminine touch. Crafted from 100% organic cotton, it suits spring and summer. Currently, it enjoys a 20% discount, reducing the price from £150 to £127.50.
Three Versatile Styling Ideas
Western Daytime Look
Embrace the western trend with a denim waistcoat over the dress, enhancing the lace for a boho festival vibe. Pair with red leather cowboy boots for color, a cream leather bag, and a blue-and-rust neck tie. Ideal for brunch, shopping, or casual outings.
Beach-Ready Ensemble
Keep it simple with tan leather sandals and a straw shopper bag. The breathable fabric and light cream shade reflect heat, highlighting intricate skirt, sleeve, and bodice details. Perfect for seaside lunches or holiday walks, blending understated polish with natural textures.
Elevated Date Night Outfit
Transition to evening with an oversized brown blazer and knee-high leather boots. Richer tones elevate the look, while the blazer adds structure to the soft skirt. Suited for dinners or drinks, offering a polished appearance with minimal effort.
