I like that dress. Wrapovers are great on generous jubblies and less than perfect tummies

lowcalCOD · 01/02/2005 19:23

yes but have th m and s one waiting ot go back upstairs and it makes my hips look wide U I think

OP posts:

Tinker · 01/02/2005 19:24

Dress is nice. Just checked Next - nothing suitable there. What about mooching round TKMAxx?

NameChangingMancMidlander · 01/02/2005 19:24

oh well. Jackie O was a more of a knee length sleeveless shift dress kind of a gal. Can you get away with sleeveless or do you get a touch of the old 'Bingo Wings' ?

FrenchGirl · 01/02/2005 19:25

cods you can't have sleeveless shift dress with big boobs I'm afraid......
Go for a nice tea dress from monsoon?

lowcalCOD · 01/02/2005 19:26

I like shifts ( despite what s and t say ont ht e matter) and htey suit my traditional shape
I am 5' 7 " size 12 long lega sno waist really adn slighty larger than ave bust

i dont suit frilly styles at all

OP posts:

Tinker · 01/02/2005 19:27

What's a "traditional shape"?

lowcalCOD · 01/02/2005 19:27

can get away with sleevelss int he evening deffo =- arms not too huge as long as top is not skinny straps

OP posts:

NameChangingMancMidlander · 01/02/2005 19:27

You can wear shifts with boobs if you get one with a slash/wide neck line.

lowcalCOD · 01/02/2005 19:27

OP posts:

lowcalCOD · 01/02/2005 19:27

wide neckline makes me look like briggitte neilson

OP posts:

Tinker · 01/02/2005 19:27

You mean you're not a triangle with a circle on top and 2 sticks sticking out of the sides and the bottom?

lowcalCOD · 01/02/2005 19:28
