I have the same cut in a different fabric from last season. I like it - it's elegant. The front drape bit is excellent. No tits ahoy.Back is elasticated.

You gotta love grey, well if you shop at MV, there is no choice usually BUT they do have it in punk blush as well. Back on mine is good. Not tight. The waist gives if definition

PharoahNuff · 07/06/2011 20:03

and how straight is skirt

OP posts:
MissBeehiving · 07/06/2011 20:10

It's straight but not tight and slightly flounces just above the knee. It sort of hangs off your arse in an appealing way.

MrsCampbellBlack · 07/06/2011 20:13

Will it not show your knickers?

Its very principles isn't it? Wink

MissBeehiving · 07/06/2011 20:37

Only if your knicks are knee length Grin

PharoahNuff · 07/06/2011 21:45

There is a lovely dress in gap I tried on today but didn't buy. It comes oin red or a dark grape purple colour with asymetric neck and knee length. Silky material. Think you would like. Although that one you linked is gorge doesn't look busty at all

Cap sleeves.

I'd look like dinner lady rather than geisha. But if I were smaller boned...

It looks lovely on the MV website - always like a picture of someone actually wearing a dress. Find the John Lewis website pretty crap for working out length/finished styles and stuff.

If I hadn't got swimmers' shoulders....

'Sale' has just popped onto their main menu again, though there's only the same old leftovers in there, but I reckon they're about to start marking down current stock. Worth waiting a bit?

(PS: in previous sales, they have reduced items within the main categories before moving them into the 'sale' section: which means that the SHEMAG code would temporarily work on the sale price. Miss B knows what I mean ...)

PharoahNuff · 08/06/2011 15:02

TrillianAstra · 08/06/2011 15:10

Maybe you are a midget and it'd be knee-length on you!

StyleandBooty · 09/06/2011 14:08
