What do you think of this dress?

[snowmummy]

I've ordered this. What's the MN verdict? Assuming it fits and isn't hideous what shall I buy to put on mt feet?

I am not sure about the top detail and the bottom going together, it looks like two different styles mishmashed together BUT if it looks good on then that's all that matters. I like the pattern :-)

it hurts my eyes to look at it, nice colours though

I would wear it with some high wedges with blue canvas uppers.

I don't care for it, sorry

it is nice but doesn't really suit the model! and is expensive. i would wear shoes like the models but in red

Hmm not an overwhelming positive response . Never mind. Anyone else?

There is a lot going on with the pattern so I would stick to classic but very high court shoes.

looks a bit maternity dress to me

I like it but as ggirl said, it could make you look pregnant.

I like it but have tried on some dresses in Jigsaw recently that do the same thing, kind of not fitted at the waist but flow down from the bust and find they don't do anything for me.

Shoe wise I would go with wedges of some description, think tan ones look nice.

Ah I chose it because I kind of hoped it would hide my baby belly not make me look pregnant

whoneeds, I like the tan wedges with it too

get one of those tummy control vests from m&s that everyone is raving about.

tbh if i had 159 quid to spend on a dress i would not pick that one

It's just a bit meh for want of a better word.

And as BelovedCunt for that money there are so many more eye-catching and generally prettier dresses out there.

I think jigsaw dresses have to be tried though. I often think it all looks drab an uninspiring on the rail but two of my fave dresses r from there and look nothing on hanger but are really great. Also I think sometimes it pays to spend more on something u will wear all the time as opposed to an occasion dress u wear a couple of times.

Beloved, what would you spend it on? I don't particularly want to spend £159 tbh but I can't find anything that I like. I don't want anything that's too girl such as floral.

That should read 'that's too girly'

snowmummy - sorry i hope i haven't upset you. and yes i agree, i have a jigsaw dress that i wear to bits but prob. didn't look like much on the rail.

try it on when it comes adn if you love it keep it. if not have a look at mango i really like their dresses atm

No, you haven't upset me at all! I'm just looking for suggestions. I've been looking for weeks and need the dress for a week on friday and again the following sunday. I'm also struggling to dress my post baby body so any help is gratefully received.

do try the control vest thing. i had something similar post dd and it was a godsend

I tried a couple of mango dresses on on Sunday and sadly, their XL is too small - I'm only a size 14 fgs!

Love the frock!

It's wearing the model. And the back makes her derriere look very large.

Thanks Mrs!! You and I are alone methinks

Math - perhaps she's got a large backside . Seriously though, if it makes her bum look big, I stand no chance

Horizontal stripes across the rear end contrasting with vertical (slimming) stripes on the upper body make for an optical illusion that is guaranteed not to flatter even a skinny 12 year old boy.
