I really like this dress. Was thinking about it for work etc.

I'm about 5.6' and a size 16 with large boobs. Am a bit concerned that it may have too high a neckline for someone with my size breasts.

Any thoughts?

I like it, what are your legs like? I think slim legs would balance out larger boobs/high neckline with that dress.

My reservation would be about the sleeves, they seem a bit tight under the armpit, a bit difficult with it being polyester.

There are nicer ones imo this in navy or purple is nice

I'm not keen on the print on the sleeves - it looks like the front of my kids school polo shirts - white and covered with grey stains from pens and paint Grin

Ooh op I really like it! I would prefer plain sleeves but I don't mind the patterned. I like the dorothy Perkins one as well, but as I am ahem a bigger lady, the shape in it would not be so flattering.

I think it would look very matronly on. Sorry.

FWIW I am probably the same shape as you, It would be better to get a pencil skirt and a sheer blouse with a cami underneath.

Beau - this is exactly what I was afraid of.
