I like it - the v neck is good if your norks are generously proportioned.

Like the style of it, but not the colour.

Also would it not crush like mad?

I'd look like a horror in it, but it's very pretty

I think the colour is subtly lovely, but perhaps some fabulous accessories to froof it up a bit? Can see a bit of hot pink going well or am I deluded?

I like it, but the photos of it being 'modelled' are crap.

It looks great in the original picture (love the shade of grey) but even on that model it looks a bit frumpy. maybe cos she's flat chested though.

It's really pretty, but as someone generous of norkage, I wouldn't get away with it as the ruffles would double my boob size!

colour would be fine if you have the colouring to suit it iyswim. i think you would need to be super stylish and trendy to carry off the style without looking frumpy. one final thing - at 5'8" you are taller than average and that dress looks short to me... is it meant to be tunic-y?
