Thanks!

Yes. If you get it in a size 18! How do their sizes compare? I noticed they just do s, m, l, xl. Where does 18 come in on that?

[HecatesTwopenceworth]

ah, just seen.

18 would be xxl

bloody hell! Bet that makes you feel good about yourself!!

can you try it and return it if it's no good?

[KristinaM]

lovely colour. but i fear the xxl may fit you but not suit you

unless you are under 30 and tall

if you are over 35 and under 5'6 it may make you look...ahem...matronly. i think teh legth is a bit frumpy

i speak from experience as the owner of ample norkage

sorry

[cornsillk]

That's a lovely dress. I find that great plains are a bit on the snug side though. I think it would be good for large norks.

[LaurieFairyCake]

They only do this in an XL - an 18 is a XXL

I haven't found anything in Great Plains sale that is an 18 (or xxl) and trawled for an hour earlier

[mazzystartled]

I think it would probably fit ok

I am a very curvy 16 (big boobs, smaller waist) and often buy ls or sometimes xls in great plains.

I think the high waist will be more of a prblem though - will be v low cut - dare say you would need a vest.

and i think the puff sleeves could look a bit frumpy if your arms are even remotely chunky

I'm not sure this is the best dress for you I agree with KristinaM that it is a bit frumpy espesially if you're size 18 and norky.

The shape of the top bit is great, but I think you can find something better in a different pattern, different sleeves and different length.

I am a size 16-18 and nothing in great plains fits me - that said I can easily fit into tops from french connection which is the same company..that said as it is elasticated it may be worth a try!

Thanks everyone! Not sure what to think - am still bf so would wear with a vest. Am 5ft8, long legs, fairly good arms, short body - bit of an apple shape, gathering just under bust suits me well as this is my narrowest area. I have a bf dress similar to this - sleeveless which I wear with black cardi.

Think I will probably leave it.

You can always get it and try it on, sometimes something that looks awful on the hanger can look great on a person.
If you don't like it send it back.
