Do I need to remove my beer goggles?

I'm 5,6 size 14/16 shapely of leg, big of boob and tum. Dh working DDs all occupied with pressies and have enjoyed several buds while "helping" DDs play. Now it's my turn to play! Is this the bargain I covet?

Depend on colouring in RL I'm thinking leggings or opaques, length dependant, and black/brown boots.
If not this then what? No more than £50.

I like it lots but it strikes me that if you really are big of tum then it might have a slight look of the maternity smock about it. On the other hand the pleats/folds might be a good tum disguise - definately worth a try-on. It is a great reduction and the colours look lovely.

That is my concern Hassle. I am apple shaped, crap posture and 4 DDs in 6 years took its toll, that said I don't think I'm disproportionate and that with some strong "foundation garments" I think I might be okay. I would take great delight in wearing a £120 frock and worry that it might be the great reduction that's screaming at me. Sod it should order it I can always return!

I'm not keen on it, sorry. I think it probably is the reduction that's influencing you.

And should I be worried that there are plenty left in stock at that price? I don't want this to be a "one that got away". Ahh decisions!
