Most Flattering Dress Ever!

I just wanted to share how much I love my LK Bennett Davina dress Grin

It's so flattering (I'm a size 10 all arse, no boobs) and best of all, many of the colours are on sale at the moment. I've just ordered a second one in "New Navy" (I've also got it in Magenta).

Wearing it makes me feel like a 40s/50s film star, I'd wear it all the time if I could!

I have. Magenta. Vg for arms. A bit loose on thighs

CaveMum · 03/04/2012 18:56

My plan (haven't told DH yet) is to get one in every colour and just alternate between them Wink

That would be weird. Don't.

MsNorbury · 03/04/2012 18:57

It's not worth £200 though. Is only crepe

noddyholder · 03/04/2012 18:58

I don't really like it but think I am wrong shape plus I am so over the grecian drape thing. It looks quite basic for teh price!

CaveMum · 03/04/2012 18:58

I was kidding a bit. The sale helps with some of them down to £150.

Gorgeous dress, but overpriced, even in the sale.

MsNorbury · 03/04/2012 18:59

What colors are on sale? Am on phone. Too teeny

MsNorbury · 03/04/2012 18:59

The waist thing is fixed. Is very very flattering.

seeker · 03/04/2012 19:00

And of course you so need a flattering dress- what with you being a size 10 an' all!

MsNorbury · 03/04/2012 19:02

But she has no tittage

noddyholder · 03/04/2012 19:06

noddyholder · 03/04/2012 19:08

Pink ok if you are dark. I bought a lovely mango dress it is flattering! Straight cut navy with pockets on front Makes boobs look SMALL!

noddyholder · 03/04/2012 19:09

this

Am dusky maiden.

MsNorbury · 03/04/2012 19:10

Like a much

doctordwt · 03/04/2012 19:16

Ooh noddy what is the fabric like? Is it heavy or light?

Looks lovely

noddyholder · 03/04/2012 19:18

It is medium weight It stretches a bit but not like lycra iygwim. Just if you needed a bit of give it would be ok. Not clingy at all.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 03/04/2012 19:25

That's quite nice, noddy, but it's mainly polyester so would make me smell like tinned vegetable soup. Hmm Grin

Jenski · 03/04/2012 19:26

Noddy - I really like that dress. Do you think the navy blue would be smart enough for a wedding with heels? Do you have this? How do the sizes come up - I am a 10/12 but usually find things tight round my bust and i have a belly (apple shaped I think Hmm)

I have a wedding coming up and seeing lots of friend that I haven't seen for ages. Don't want to look frumpy!

StarlightMcEggsie · 03/04/2012 19:27

WAY too expensive!

neuroticmumof3 · 03/04/2012 19:52

I would love one but can't afford it Sad.
