Ok. A challenge for your fashionable sorts. I want a casual 'day' dress BUT...

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

I have a flabby stomach (can't even blame it on 'babies' now ) and a muffin top
Please, someone tell me they have found a good dress out there...

[mrsmaidamess]

Ok, buy some control pants and your choices will be expanded greatly. But until then, it sounds like shift style would skim the bits you don't want to show. I'll have a looky for you......

[mrsmaidamess]

too plain? I'm thinking layering with a top and with boots

[mrsmaidamess]

white stuff, nice shape, could wear with cardi

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

LOL Spanx are my friend!
I like that dress. LOVE layering, just have a pathological fear of jersey because of all of my lumps and bumps

[mrsmaidamess]

We ALLL have lumps and bumps. A pattern would disguise them more. I bought a great dress in Matalan t'other day, hang on.

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

LOVE white stuff and that dress is gorgeous but I am short and not sure I can carry off patterns that big. Maybe just need to get over my fear of jersey

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

yy that is true about pattern

[TheMoistWorldOfSquelchedBrains]

I bought one of these recently. Skims over my wobbly tum a treat.

Spanx are your friend.

[mrsmaidamess]

If you bung a little cardi over, no one will see anything. Can't find matalan dress, but Its dead colourful, small pattern and I wear it with teal tights and brown mary janes.

I'll keep looking, LOVE shopping vicariously...

DANCES had not declared that Spanx were her friend when I wrote that. lol

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

What do you think about this monsoon

[mrsmaidamess]

Thats a nice dress, moist.

[mrsmaidamess]

its a shame she's sitting down but I like the dress and boots combo

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

Ooooooooooooh, I like that Oasis dress too


Septimus - I saw them first

[TheMoistWorldOfSquelchedBrains]

Why, thank you

Monsoon one is good

[mrsmaidamess]

this is bold but funky

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

Not so keen on that maidamess, too fussy..sorry.

[mrsmaidamess]

Yes Monsoon is nice. Dorothy Perkins have loads like that, for £15, in lots of colours. Could be a bit summery?

[mrsmaidamess]

dorothy perkins , like Monsoon

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

OOoh, can you link to Dorothy Perkin ones please.

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

oh you're good

[mrsmaidamess]

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

GRRRRRrrrrrrr Septimus - just looked more carefully at Oasis ones and they are out of stock

[TheMoistWorldOfSquelchedBrains]

Oh bum.. was going to go back & get one in another colour next week

[DANCESwithLordPsGhost]

Double poo. Obviously other people out there have identified it's flab-covering-properties...
