Ooh, nice!

That is designed to have something to stuff in it. I envy you - my chest doesn't do dresses like that. You'd be gazing at my belly button.

That dress will suit curves and looks lovely and swishy. Bargain.

Lovely. Made for a curvy figure that one.

I am very tempted. I am quite toned and small waist. Am just hoping it is not too low cut and I can get a bra under it

I want one!

Nice. I am a busty 14/16 though and dresses like this either work or they don't depending on if they actual have cup room in the cut of them.

who - that's exactly the problem I have..... hoping it will work. Sometimes the bit that is meant to go under the boobs, ends up cutting across them!

Pearl Lowe stuff generously cut around the bust IME.

exactly brighthair [nods knowingly]

looks amazing

Very nice.

looks like a cheap bridesmaid's dress from 1998, and pearl lowe's name would put me off anything.

Well I have to eat humble pie.
I am no fan of the lady, even started a thread once in wonderment that she has made so much from so very little...but I tried on a purple dress and it fitted like a glove, cut so well, sleeves, perfect length and did well just dam well what you want the perfect dress to do.
So just in case it was a one hit wonder I ordered the star print dress, and dam it, it's great.
Now I have my eye on the oriental maxi dress.

Oh my Bunbaker and BushymcBush (cracking name that). Just looked at my emails and we are quoted in the Mumsnet swears by.

......And I never tried the dress on.....

I have ordered one! Will report back.

Disclaimer: I will not look like Pearl Lowe in it. More like a short fat Catheryine Tate.

I was sucked in to the promo and ordered one, I have a wedding to go to in NZ in about six weeks and panic brought a Monsoon dress off eBay last week but just had a feeling this dress would suit and yay it does!

IMO its a slightly small size 16 tho maybe I'm a slightly larger 16 than a few months back it fits a little on the snug side but the only impact of that is how deep a breath I can take LOL and it would be a bit more flattering over my hips if I was a few kgs light but all in all I think its lovely. Am going to team it with pewter strappy sandals and accessories and stop eating chocolate for the next few weeks so I can gasp appreciatively at my new SIL as she walks down the aisle :)

Pancakeflipper, I saw that too! And I didn't try the dress either, only looked at the link in the OP!

I nearly shouted out 'ooh fame at last' to my DH then I remembered that I don't want him to know my username so I can bitch about him behind his back

I am secretly 'famous' too.
I squealed " Oooh I have quoted." and DP looked at me very oddly.
