I am a size 18 with huge tits,haven't tried a shrug on with my black dress (same one as last years xmas do...boring).would like to liven it up a bit and cover my flabby arms. anyone got one who's bigger than usual and look great in it?

I tried some on but looked awful, I am pregnant so have even more huge breasts at the moment but am also 5ft 9", built large and pretty broad in the back anyway so have to be careful not to look like a drag queen...I'd go and try some on and get a candid and trusted mate to tell you the truth.

lol at drag queen,that's what I was worried about!

My 20mth Ds was in the changing room with me and he just looked in horror and said "NononoooNOOOO"....not a good look on me!
I would keep trying them on though...they are al different styles and cuts so you will probably find one to suit!

Fab! Good luck, let me know how you get on!

Hmm - I have been wondering about this. I am not tall, fairly thin, no boobs but a broad back/shoulders. DH thinks they won't suit me. But I agree with trying different styles. Ideally I would like and elegant evening one and a more casual, chunkt one.

i saw a nice evening one in monsoon,black and floaty like.It was really expensive,£50 if I remember rightly !

I have a couple. And I am a size 16. I have a black mohair 3/4 length sleeve one for daytime wear and a teal green/blue wuth sequins for nighttime.

They are great, I can show my cleveage without showing my fat arms

I've seen women out and about wearing them and I think they are really flattering on a more curvy figure, than they are hanging off a rake-like skinny

ooh sounds more hopeful,thanks
