Most Flattering Dress Ever!

[CaveMum]

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

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!

Dorothy Perkins (my new fave cheaper shop) was doing a cheaper version of davina - worth looking out for.

Ooh thanks noddy. Hmm sounds like a goodun! Jenski -you could try going for it with sharp accessories, pillbox hat?

Yes, I had a similar one for about £20 from Dorothy P's just before Christmas. Was quite a thick jersey, might be a bit hot for summer.

Ooh - is the Davina dress good for hiding a massive tummy?

Don't you need skinny arms for a dress like that? Way overpriced though

I don't think it is overpriced for 100% wool. All of the cheaper versions will be polyester.

I can totally see that it's flattering but don't you think it's a bit.... umm... boring? And that style is everywhere and a bit ubiquitous now? A bit Mama Middleton?

If I worked I think its actually a perfect work dress. Flattering but professional.

Far too ritzy for my work!

No for fat tums. Makes arms super slim

Bought this today in navy, absolutely love it, I'm 5ft9 and normally struggle with length on dresses but this fits perfectly. I'm planning on wearing it to a couple of events this year including weddings. Any suggestions for shoe/bag colours to go with it for the weddings?
Thanks

I covet the Davina dress, it is gorgeous, but I cannot think of an occasion when I would wear it. It is too posh for work (engineering company), and still a bit ££, even in the sale. But lovely nevertheless.

Noddy, I like yours! Right up my street. Not too short??

Forgot to say, ASOS also did a Davina knock-off tribute, about £45, I think.

No cv but i am only 5'5 It is a short dress but no mini

I lurve Noddy's Mango dress.

suntoday with the navy dress I'd, personally, go with red shoes/bag. I was told under no circumstances to accessorise navy clothes with black shoes!

Navy looks nice with beige/tan/neutral shoes and bag.

Love you xxxxxxx am size 10 tooooo.no boobs ( only person on MN who did not know what " norks" were!!) and all booty.love the dress.need your style tips.

Now that is a lovely dress.

However, am waiting on my £1.99 H & M item...

The red is my favourite. but don'thave any special events planned. ):

I have it in 2 colours already and will buy more. Very flattering indeed. Wish it came with sleeves though..

Agree that neutrals are better than red with navy. Red and navy looks a bit trolley dolly IMO. Lime green is also good.

Ah Clarice, might the trolley dolly outfit get me a job at MJN Air?

I dunno, CaveMum; wouldn't you be putting Arthur out of a job?

And how are your Travelling Lemon skills?

I listened to Qikiqtarjuaq (yes I had to Google it!) last night. Anyway, Arthur's not paid so he can carry on serving passengers while I, ahem, look after Martin

[Apologies for thread hijack]

Who says they're going to pay you either? Or would simply working with Captain Crieff be enough?

Need I say more!
