Is this dress cute or frumpy?

I can see it working if you're a sort of vampy kitten type (this is a type in my head!)

I would look like a librarian who took the wrong door into a party.

If you are really young (like early 20's ish) and skinny then cool - anything else and it would be frumpy, I fear Sad

iTigress, that's the thing - I don't know what suits me!

interesting about necklines for big boobs
my ff cups look terrible in scoop necks but good in deep v necks but not really normal v necks

haven't tried square necks

Oh Gawd, now I have to be young as well - ok, ok, I give up :o

would it look better maybe with a proper belt ?

Bodenbabe · 30/11/2010 22:34

possibly, ggirl - it is the big bow that's putting me off.

bodenbabe I have big norks and it isn't so much the shape of the neckline as the height of the neckline that is problematic. I avoid anything that has a roll neck or high neck (slash necks, high scoops etc).

You should have some cleavage on display otherwise you look bulky (especially when you are also short) but just be aware that many tops designed to show cleavage can look ridiculously OTT on those large of nork.
