i got a size 14, which is a wee bit roomy, but its designed to be ridiculously tight i think. im not a 14, but it looks good.
the side and back views are really really cool! (said in manner of person in 30s who lives in the countryside for last 5 yrs and is well aware she has no idea what is currently 'cool')
iwas wearing a bra when i tried it, so yes.

Jeez, it's got a bustle - my arse would look colossal...

yes but its colossalality would appear to be amassed fabric, not lard.

check the returns from online shopping... maybe tis easy/free to return and therefore no risk to order and try on... [bad influence]

oh have just looked at the other colour option - much easier to see the dress properly in calico.

I agree. And it's obviously v timeless. It has wardrobe staying-power.

yes. the shop had lots of things in 4's 6's and 8's. and this random 14 (which is actually about a 12 imo). was about to walk out with inferiority/elephant complex when i found that beauty.
