This Dress? I keep going back to it but not sure if it'll be ok as am pretty curvy? I buy from them when am in the town, mainly seasalt tunics ect. Free delivery is tempting me.

But then again I am trying to lose a couple of stone. Maybe I should wait until then and treat myself?

That kind of dress is flattering on all sizes. Really good for defining some shape.

Spotted the Molly tunic half price on there but it's only in an 8.

Generally this would be ideal for a curvy person. But the waist looks quite high on this. It’s not the style, it’s the cut that matters.

It could work.

In my experience these suit curvy shapes, but not apple shapes as well as they suit pear or hourglass.

It's not my website wish it was Grin I'm a support worker just visit that shop whenever in Keswick. Won't be for a while though.

I was supposed to be on holiday so you're right I should treat myself.

I think it depends on your height tbh, if your not very tall that length/style can be quite unflattering (I am short 😂)

If the waist of the dress is the same place as your own waist, then I think it will actually look BETTER on a curvy figure.

It's really lovely. I'll have a look in the shop next time I'm in Keswick. It looks lovely and cool too.

Be honest, you want it because it is a Dress That Has Pockets. Grin

The sizing looks big I thought. Surely size 8 isn’t 36 bust and 29 waist. The dress is lovely.
