I am a maxi dress non believer as I usually look like I'm dressing up when I wear one but this one is FANTASTIC. It looks nothing on the hanger but the pleating and gathering on the tum, boobage and top of legs is nothing short of magical. Somehow, my bum even looks pert. Grin

Love that website!

Gorgeous dress MissBeehiving.

Now you need some lovely silver jewellry to go with. Grin

needs smoothing underwear as the back will reveal all lumps and bumps
lovely dress though

MissBeehivingChoclitWabbits · 15/04/2011 17:10

Glad you all like it. I did examine my rear in detail brimful as it was looking pert for signs of underwear. The material doesn't cling under your bum so no vpl there and only a slight crater dent on the waistband. I was wearing frilly knickers though. Could be solved by going commando or smoothing underwear. Couldn't see any bra strap at all. This was a bit of surprise because usually I frighten myself by thinking I'm my mum when I look at my rear view. Grin

Do you know found I night be getting some for my birthday Wink. Thought of you when I was in Kurt Geiger in HoF today. They had some gret shooze in their.

Sorry about that, great shoes in there. Jumped on by the dog.

Is lovely. Sadly the gathering on the side would make my already ginormous bum, hips and thighs look positively elephant like :( The downsides of being a pear shape!

Looks more of an evening dress than a daywear one to me - or was that your point? Grin

MissBeehivingChoclitWabbits · 15/04/2011 17:27

Grin@ nikki

Could be dressed up or down. Will wear during the day with tan flats and then at night with wedges and more jewellery.

MissBeehivingChoclitWabbits · 15/04/2011 18:00

Ding dong. That's fab!

No more shoe-shopping here, I'm afraid. Sad DD decided to see if any of my shoes fitted her and had a rummage under my bed. There are ridiculous shoes that I can't even remember buying - let alone wearing!

HofF have got some lovely ones though. I was in there yesterday.

Got the Jane Shilton clogs - they'd look fab with your dress in khaki. Or 'army' as they like to call it.

MissBeehivingChoclitWabbits Thank you .

MissBeehivingChoclitWabbits · 15/04/2011 20:21

THIS is how to wear a maxi dress

kuckingfunt · 16/04/2011 10:49

I like it! How long is the dress? I am quite tall and a lot of them are not quite long enough.

MissBeehivingChoclitWabbits · 16/04/2011 11:51

Shoulder to hem is 153cm
