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

Thanks, MissBeehiving. What a gorgeous dress. Lost my mind momentarily and ordered one in each colour. Fear I may have to invest in some Spanx though Grin

It's almost identical to one I bought in Primark last week for £11. very flattering with the gathered waist and the jersey material is actually reasonable quality for Primani.

Will see if I can find a link.

You bad bad Wabbit. I have just ordered one

BellsaRinging · 17/04/2011 10:14

I'm having one too. Anyone know what the sizing is like? Am sadly a 14 post baby a few months ago...

MissBeehivingChoclitWabbits · 17/04/2011 10:46

I reckon that small is an 8/10 and medium 12/14 etc but the fabric is forgiving.

Cool, thanks.

Anyone else got their dress? Mine arrived today! Was first a little Hmm about the linen mix fabric but once I tried it on I loved it and knew I was keeping them both. Many thanks, MissBeehiving. You have great taste! Wink

Tillyscoutsmum · 19/04/2011 19:27

Mine arrived today as well. I also wasn't 100% sure about the fabric (it felt like it might be a bit itchy) but it was very flattering and comfortable, so it stays

winefairy · 19/04/2011 19:41

Glad you liked yours too, Tillyscoutsmum. I gave mine a very quick iron on a low heat which softened it and made it less itchy seeming!

MissBeehivingChoclitWabbits · 19/04/2011 19:44

Phew Smile

I'm glad you like it - looks like crap on the hanger, I almost didn't try it on but once you do then it really comes into it's own

I just bought it in the "ink"!
I love it to bits. I'm planning to wear it with silver chunky jewellary and a denim jacket to a daytime-evening do I've got coming up.
What shoes would go do you reckon? I was thinking flat gladiatorish ones but not sure? Colour?

MissBeehivingChoclitWabbits · 22/04/2011 21:52

I'll be wearing mine withtan flats or wedges. I quite liked these IRL.
