I'd buy the cosmic print if it were my dress! I also love, though not on your above list, the gloria peacock pattern

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Ferns. I think it would look amazing with your colouring.

Thanks purple - I know what you mean - I do like ferns but cosmic is just so... cosmic! gah! it is hard... I am getting advice from the company on sizing before I order as I fall between 18 and 20 so I have a few days to make up my mind....

Gorgeous. I keep looking at this site and wishing!

I guess you really have to look at the background colour. The peacock one Gloria peacock is lovely but how do you feel about a black background? Also do you know if you suit blue? If you do then go for cosmic. It is so 'out there'! Plus there is some green in there too.

You lucky lucky thing!

Thank you for all the ideas Thanks

I have a sample size being posted out in any available fabric so I can order the right size dress to be made up - I think I will get cosmic but I have a couple of days to make up my mind now... [very excited] hope it looks nice on me after the build up [crosses fingers - sucks in wibbly tummy]

The dress is gorgeous, and so many lovely patterns to choose from! I would go for the cosmic or the lemons pattern. That's great that they send you a sample size. Can you post and let us know how it looks and how sizing is?

Have ordered my dress! Cosmic half sleeve, I have tried the dress they sent me in size 20 d_e cup it fit very well and in all the right places, falling just below the knee on me (5' 8").

They have been great at get cutie as well swift replies to emails, calling me back when promised, and they have promised I will have my dress in good time for my birthday. So a happy customer here (so far!)
