I am a size 12 with FF boobs and could not wear either of those dresses, neckline too high, I'd look like Hattie Jakes (sp?)

With fair colouring, dress number two is definitely a winner. Will look fab in the summer.

Sorry MooMoo - seems they don't do it this year.
It was quite high, but did have a bit of a cowl effect, so maybe that was the secret...

I think I'll go ahead and order and let you know if they make me look like Hattie .

thanks all Smile

Update (for anyone who might care...)

Dress 1.
Really lovely dress. Much heavier fabric than I'd expected and lined as well. Really really good value IMO. Really flattering round the waist/bum, but Febreeze was exactly right. There is just a bit too much of the 'hatties' going on up top. If it was ever so slightly lower cut it would be a keeper.
I think this is a really good dress if you have fairly normal proportions but need a bit of structure to hold you in Smile

Dress 2.
A non starter for me. Very cute fabric - who knew it had apples on! But very shiny skimpy fabric so only good for stick insects IMO.

so they are both going back.
I think I need to go to a real shop!

Whistles sale now on!!!

SarkyLady · 19/03/2011 12:41

But not the dresses I like.

Also I'm really after something a bit more 'everyday'.

Loce the first one but being top heavy myself too I'd go for "V" neck. Mind you, with a GOOD bra the first one would look goo too.
