It arrived today, and I love it. Very flattering neckline and length on me. I'm 5' 10" and so many dresses are too short on me. Love. love love it, and best of all it was only 27.50!

It's a sort of Mediterraen (sp?) blue. Very wearable. I don't know why the price has gone up. Ordered it on saturday and paid £27.50.

QueeferSantaland · 14/12/2011 10:30

That is nice, tethers. I like a sleeve.

Have you bought any nice matty dresses for the Christmas season?

HazleNutt · 14/12/2011 10:40

very nice, but how low is the neckline really? Is it wearable for work?

I have this one in 2 colours from asos, also very nice and flattering, good lenght too.

SarkySpanner · 14/12/2011 10:47

will the one in the OP work with big boobs?

tethersjinglebellend · 14/12/2011 11:52

Nothing, Queefer Sad

In fact, the only decent maternity dress i've found so far is this one which looks like shite on the pic, but is gorgeous IRL, very Westwood-esque.

There is officially bollocks-all out there for nice maternity wear.

I am hankering after a gold lurex dress at the moment, but maternity is all embellished nylon. It's shit.

The neckline is wearable for work, for me anyway, but I don't have big boobs.
