Awesome dress for the curvy

[mippy]

Yes, it may be from M+S, but it's total Joan Holloway on a curvy figure...

Too high for big norks, would look matronly.

OrangeBernard,how did you get that to work?

Eek! Definitely too high for boobs.

You're avin' a giraffe! That's an awesome dress for for the slender, not curvy!

hmm I am tres norky and that subtle boat neckline actually looks better on me than scoop neckline. I have narrow shoulders ,maybe that's why?

That neckline wouldn't work with my boobs either.

I'm with ggirl - I think it's more about shoulders than well-endowdness per se.

If you have broad shoulders, high necks + breasts can look matronly. If you are not so broad, high/boat/slash necks can be a great deal more flattering than the V-necks so rigidly doled-out to the larger-of-cup-size by the advice of Trinny and Suzannah. so don't discount it out of hand ....

That it'll be it, my swimmer's shoulders. Any way the review is shit

Ah yes, but think Joan Holloway - she has a big chest, yet there is literally one outfit in four seasons in which she shows her cleavage.

I would really like to get rid of the tyranny of v-necks for the ample chested.

It's a myth IMO. Besides, I don't always feel like getting my baps out. I even wear polo necks on occasion and I'm a 36 G.

Agree that boat necks look good- ditto, cowl, square, sweetheart and any other neck you like as long as you pull it off with confidence.

Doesn't even look good on the model.

sweetheart, shawl collar and the dreaded v all suit my 34ffs. Weirdly I feel more exposed in a high necked, it's as if my boobs enter the room before I do. They would look simply enormous in that dress.

It looks far too big for the model.

I am large of nork and quite like slash necks, if worn with a cardigan or jacket over the top to 'shape' it a bit.

Not over-fond of that dress though tbh.

I'm with Tethersend. Somehow v-necks are too angular on my 30Gs. I have to have something round-necked underneath to soften the hard line. And I'm much happier in sweetheart/boat/scoop/draped. Polos aren't too bad when ski-ing either.

Maybe it is something to do with width - my back is narrow - 30 band is quite small for someone 5'7'' tall i think.

But with that dress the waist seam would be wrong for me - can't wear anything with a seamed waist as it never sits in the right place and makes me look fat.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the M&S website models. They always look so apologetic these days.
