Cant see a navy one on mywardrobe.com but have had a look and I love her dresses.

Can you recommend a stockist?

What would you wear on top? (could be cold and will be outside a fair bit)

The Vivienne Westwood one is a beautiful shape but the neckline looks higher than I would usually wear. Bit scared of looking "low slung" on the boob front.

The Isabella Oliver one looks perfect and I love the colour.

Thank you!

So now the shoes, tan heels that you can walk in, anyone?

Jacket or cardi?

Get thee to a VW shop. There is a lovely fuchsia one on eBay just now....

So flattering. So timeless. So beautiful.

Will have a look on ebay, cant find the lower neckline one in XL. May have to starve myself for a month to fit into L.

The sizing's pretty generous, so you could order the L and try it- it may fit Smile
