If you are a generous 14 this Whistles dress is so flattering.

I just went to take a dress back to swop and I tried this (and practically everything else in the shop on) in a 14. I have a generous pair of boobs and it looked gorgeous.

It looks really plain but in reality its lovely and floaty, its a very flattering shade of blue, not quite navy.

In the end, I never got it, I decided to keep the one I was taking back!! I wouldve lost my discount otherwise and I already have a similar coloured dress. I would recommend it if you arent a skinny minny though.

I was hoping you could tell me where to go! I haven't been for about ten years. I don't want anywhere too young.

You can spend £150 on a dress?? OMG, I'm soooooo jealous!!

It is a lovely shape and I do hope you enjoy it! :)

I bought this the other day:

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270704154516&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123

Love it! And it's much more in keeping with my part-time care assisstant budget!!

What is Whistles sizing like? Do they come up large or small do you reckon?

kittya · 06/03/2011 20:21

I reckon a tiny bit bigger. Put it this way, they are generous, like Wallis.

I love those whistles dresses - just my style and colours but at size 20 they wouldn't fit me . Boo hoo. Anyone know any makes which are whistlesish but do - ahem - larger sizes?

kittya · 09/03/2011 19:32
