Nice, not for the proportionally large of nork.

No idea how old you are so can't say if it's too young or not. I wouldn't think so.

It's a lovely dress but not long enough to be a maxi dress.

Knofje - my children love Knofje!

Belgo - Knofje is fantastic. Love the books, have you seen the series? Great but the continuity people must have popped into the coffee shop a bit too often. Moat amusing.

Not sure the length is right?
Love the print - I was admiring something v. similar on an H&M scarf yesterday.

Grin Have I seen the TV series? I must have seen it 100 times! We have the DVD and my girls used to play it continuously. I used to sing the song as a lullaby:

Noche, noche doesjie klein
droemi droemi zacht
suja suja kindje klein
luna luna nacht

Sorry, back to the dress, it is nice, and not too young. In fact I would say it's an older style.

You are right about the length I tried it on and it looked lovely but I dont possess a max I dont usually find them flattering. The length is probably ankle, is that inapppropriate? theres 25% off everything online at the moment but Im scared im last minute panic buying for my holiday for Monday. I just thought it would be ideal for Morrocco. I have large boobs and it actually works.

Ankle length is probably fine; most people trip over the bottom of maxi dresses anyway, that ends up looking ridiculous.

I like the print and it seems to give ample coverage for the bra strap issue.
The photos are always deceptive about the lengthConfused

I've been waiting for a code to buy another maxi from DP ,thanks for the info - I like the Ikat one but can't decide if Ikat is old hat??

tulpe · 14/05/2011 18:55

I think it's lovely and at least you won't trip over it :)

kitkatya · 14/05/2011 18:58

Morag theres a 25% off code you must use it!! I cant because I cant risk it not turning up on time. If its in the shop on Monday then thats good but if its not then its decided for me.
