This one

Tell me it's awful.

Telling me to buy it is no good, I cannot afford it unless I sell one of DP's kidneys (have not totally ruled that out).

Help.

Ah but can you do the dance cybbo?

WhatsWrongWithYou · 05/06/2011 23:28

If you like stripes, these are on a smaller scale - more flattering.

passiveaggresive · 05/06/2011 23:34

Its quite blatantly simple - if you cant afford it, you just don't buy it - no brainer - move on

Just followed the Jaeger sale link - have you seen this one: www.jaeger.co.uk/index.cfm?page=1013&productid=630063A&productvarid=630063A-08200-12&refpage=1933&pagesize=12&productpage=4&viewall=false

A similar look at a fraction of the price!

CliffTumble · 06/06/2011 00:08

Only buy it if you want to look like a mint humbug.

Imagine how awful it would be if you wore this dress and someone else wore it too?

HeavyHeidi · 06/06/2011 09:44

it looks great on the model indeed. She is 5'10 and wears XS. And even her backside looks quite sizable in this.

If you are not 5'10 and XS, you will look like a huge fat zebra.

Did this help?

(I want this dress too!!)

cybbo · 06/06/2011 16:34

nodders- of course I can do the bloody dance

blindassassin · 06/06/2011 16:55

Tethers I know it's been flogged to death on S&B and mentioned further up thread but Stripy Janice here is really very similar AND bloody lovely for the money. I'm a tall athletic size 10 but I reckon it'd look even better on a curvy hourglass 16. I often wear mine belted and it looks fab. Definitely worth a go....

PharoahNuff · 06/06/2011 16:56

im buying nodders

blindassassin · 06/06/2011 16:57

Just to add it looks a bit a-line in the web site pic, but in RL fits more like the VWA one. Go on give it a go!

PharoahNuff · 06/06/2011 16:57

presume mango sizes are tiny

cybbo · 06/06/2011 17:19

Actually they arent. Well, bigger than Zara I should say

I'm a large. You've met me
