dress

It's not my cup of tea but if you've got an hourglass figure with boobs the shape will look good. Where would you be planning on wearing it? Would be fine for holiday.

Not my cup of tea either but I can imagine it looking fabulous on the right person.

Oh thanks for the link Eggs. I didn't realise mine hadn't worked. I don't think I'm quite curvy enough to be an hourglass but I do have boobs. I have fallen in love with the dress. I'm so tempted to try it anyway. As to when I'd wear it probably anytime Blush

If you've fallen in love with it try it Smile As you have boobs I think it will be incredibly flattering and a great shape.

You've probably seen that they've got the same fabric in a different style

I did see that NewPants. I didn't like it quite as much but I may try it if the original one doesn't work for me. There is so much choice on the website though. I could spend a fortune.

It reminds me of the Flintstones. Sorry.

Well I suppose it won't be to everyone's taste Grin

Not keen on the collar. Would make me look like I'm 5 years old.
Everything else about it I like!

Like the second one more but , the collar doesn't do it justice.
Its superfluous, doesn't need it.
Is it in shiny polyester fabric.
I have some maxi dresses in that fabric that I bought from holidays
I haven't worn them for years and it's time for them to go.

It is polyester but it says it's matte finish so I'm hoping no shine as that is likely to put me off.

I don't like the print but I can see that it is nice and if that's your style I think it will look great, I do not like the second dress as it looks very puffy and frumpy around the neck and boobs.

I think the fabric is wrong for the first style of dress - it's too booby to have a Flintstone-y childish print, so it looks odd; but the second dress is frumpy and has an awful collar.

I'd just buy the fabric and make a new dress if you really love it :)

I like it, and if you love it go for it. I think it is suitable for everyday wear, or you could dress it up for a summer party.

I have a couple of skirts from Lindybop and the quality of the fabric is really good.

I love it! Love the halterneck, that 50s turquoise shade and just everything about it! Smile

I love some of Lindy Bop's stuff (the Sinead Moscow dress) and I love the print of this one but don't like the style. I don't like halternecks though.

It has been dispatched today. I'm praying it fits and suits me. I checked my measurements against their size guide so fingers crossed.
I'm glad to hear that the quality of the fabric is good lala. I've never tried their clothes before so I'm not sure what to expect.

Well this dress arrived but it didn't fit me. I loved the print but sadly thought the material was awful. It was pretty shiny even though it's meant to be matte finish. However I ordered a couple of cotton dresses from the site also and I love them. Just wish they had the dinosaur dress in a cotton fabric.

That's a shame.
I had a look for other dinosaur dresses but there don't seem to be many similar ones around (surprisingly Smile)
Spotted a Cath Kidston one. It's £60 but someone is selling one on eBay here.

There's also this t shirt dress but it's not as exciting.

Oh thank you for them. I'm not sure any of the dresses are right for me but I quite like the skirt. The cath kidston dress would be really lovely if it was just a bit brighter.
