I like the style (think it would disguise big tummy & chunky thighs) but not sure about colour/pattern. I am a size 16/18 and currently wearing a lot of long skirts/baggy tops - trying to lose weight!
What would you wear with it, and if you don't like it any other ideas for me?
Thank you for all your help.

No, but then I am old enough to remember my mum wearing that! The shape is nice (but unforgiving), the pattern is too 70s' wall paper.
You can get away with it if you are a teenager or a punk.

Something shaped like that or this would be better at hiding tummy and thighs.

personally not keen....

what sort of body shape are you?

Wallis have some gorgeous dresses that i think would disguise a tummy - ill link a few

original dress

OP - You know you only like it cos it is cheap!

gak! that needs a sunglasses-required warning on it. Far too seventies-mum-dress for me as well. The pattern is just awful, sorry. I don't care if sixties/seventies wallpaper patterns are being revived - they shouldn't be! People took a lot of hallucinogenic drugs back then so the patterns probably didn't hurt as much...

LOVE it.

But I must tell you, I am sitting in a room decorated with 70s wallpaper. In a 70s dress.

I think it will be very flattering, looks very DVF.

I would wear with black opaques and platforms or boots like this or this

Leaving the pattern aside, I disagree with tether, the dress is viscose it will hang at all the bits and bumps. The shirt-dress can be flattering in very heavy cotton, but def. not in that kind of material.

I like it too Would look terrible on me you need to be skinny

Thank you all for the honesty & especially for the links to alternative dresses. Think I might go have a look in Wallis ...

I'ld wear it, have a few like it

This is pretty and cheap and cleverly draped around the tum.

I quite liked the first one but couldn't wear it as it's too severe for me - you might suit a more dramatic style though.
Liking Dottie P's atm.

what abou this

this

or this

all phase eight. all lovely!

id wear any of those with thick opaques and knee length boots.

Love that Dorothy Perkins one, thanks Shotgun. Haven't been in there for years, will have to go have a look. Like the knitted Phase 8 one as well Vicar!
Thank you all.
