I haven't seen it in rl yet but could a busty size 14 wear it? Please don't hold back

do you have good legs? Yes, if so. With statement necklace.

TracyK · 23/12/2011 17:17

Might be a bit tight on the bust. I know it would be on me.

trixymalixy · 23/12/2011 17:19

It's nice, but not worth £125. You could get something much nicer for £125.

crypes · 23/12/2011 17:20

The model isnt standing properly and looks awkward, if shes not modelling it properly i don't reckon you've got a hope in hell (unless your actually Kate Moss)

katkitya · 23/12/2011 17:20

I've won some sort of comp with whistles I can have it for thirty

Not sure it would suit a big bust, sorry.

paddingtonbear1 · 23/12/2011 17:32

I quite like it, but I know it wouldn't suit me - am size 12 with a big bust.

katkitya · 23/12/2011 17:34

I've measured 90cms against me and, my legs aren't that good!! Some lucky young thing will be getting it then

£30? Definitely get it then.

Hassledge · 23/12/2011 17:36

I love it. I love it with a passion. I'm just too damn old.

Ephiny · 23/12/2011 17:40

No, I think it would be quite unflattering to be honest. Only for the very young and slender IMO, and even then not great, I don't think it looks that good even on the model.

£30 is a bargain though, maybe you could sell it on eBay for more than that if it doesn't suit!

TheLightPassenger · 23/12/2011 17:46

It's a lovely dress, but really wouldn't do much for a big bust I'm afraid.

katkitya · 23/12/2011 18:03

I never have any luck selling Whistles products on ebay.

I will have a quick ask around my relatives and then I guess I will have to let it go. Damn, I never win anything!! Sad

I would get it for £30. Can you not send it back if it doesn't fit. Or swap it in store for something else.....

LEttletownofBOFlehem · 23/12/2011 18:10

It looks really horrid and polyester-ish. Is there nothing else you could get?

cheesesarnie · 23/12/2011 18:13

if you can get it in size 6 it would look fab on me Grin lol
cant you get it and try it on.if it doesnt suit send it back

MistletoeAndFlump · 23/12/2011 18:13

Sorry but IMO this is a skinny-person dress. Any boobs with a neckline that high will just look matronly.

ThatsNotSantasBabyBelly · 23/12/2011 18:15

My busty 16 year old niece has something very similar and it looks great, she has fab legs though.

I think you could pull it off, opaques if you're a bit concerned.

DurhamDurham · 23/12/2011 18:17

It's quite nice but think you could get something much nicer for your money. I would want something reall lovely for £125 and this dress is a bit unremarkable!

katkitya · 23/12/2011 18:23

Its only costing me £30 my name got picked out of the hat.

Its 100% silk. If you zoom in, it looks lovely.

It is far too short for me. If I was ten years younger.....

ThatsNotSantasBabyBelly · 23/12/2011 18:24

Go on...get it...

thestringcheesemassacre · 23/12/2011 18:28

I am a 12/14 with 34G norks and it would look AWFUL on me.
Too high neckline.
Unless you have killer waist and legs.
