I like it, not my sort of thing but it is very nice. I think it would suit a curvy person as well as a slim person. Prob not a good look of you're very flabby,obese though.

VivaLeBeaver · 05/10/2011 22:38

And no you're not too old for it.

cadelaide · 05/10/2011 22:45

S'ok, I'm just ancient

meltedchocolate · 05/10/2011 22:46

I think it could look amazing on someone with a good waist-to-hip ratio.

Accessorize with chandelier earrings and you too can be Bet Lynch

Just not head to toe. Grin

Sorry I typed before thinking before, No i dont think you have to be skinny to wear it, it would look great on a curvy body but not one with lumps and bumps from just having a baby like me is what I meant... Can anyone tell Im not happy with my post pregnancy figure and am longing for my old clothes :)

P.S. You are definately not too old!! x

I think you would have to have an air of poshness about you, otherwise it could be very easy to look cheap wearing this - jodie kidd - yes, Kerry Katona no.

Thanks justtired I get what your saying I think it would suit a curvy figure more too to show off you shape

And yummy was also thinking black tights and shoe boots to go with it for a night out with the girls i have coming up, you must have read my mind. Smile

It could go either way, fantastic or Eastenders barmaid.

sweetheart · 06/10/2011 16:33

That is a tricky one - I love a bit of animal print but I agree that it could go either way. I'm just not sure what the deciding factor would be?

sweetheart · 06/10/2011 16:34

I do think if you were bigger than an 8 (possibly 10) you would have to have a very firm body to carry it off. Any fat bulges would deffo tip it over to chavtastic!

BelleEnd · 06/10/2011 16:39

I wouldn't wear it unless I was a size 8 and had noooooooo fat.
