I'm 5'5" size 14, boobs and bum, redhead.

Can I get away with this dress? Maybe with a cream cropped jacket?

phase eight plume dress

Or should I go for something more like this?

verity dress

Also I'm not very steady on my feet after a knee op that has buggered my knee up good and proper, so can I get away with flats or perhaps a wedge heel at the most?

I like the 2nd one!

Unlurked · 04/04/2012 20:36

I like the 1st one!

I LOVE the first dress! But would try it with a shawl or cream bolero cardigan rather than a cropped jacket unless you can find a very delicate looking one. I don't think the second one looks very flattering on the model let alone us mere mortals!
I think a vey slight wedge would be sufficient for dress one also.

Just my opinion but HTH!

the phase 8 one will look better on you. I am a size 12, 5'2'' with bums and boobs and the neck line on the first one just doesn't work for me.

sorry i mean the second one!

Ooh, wibble!

I just ordered the phase eight one so can try at home, and in the 30 mins I've been deliberating the pepperberry one has ruddy well sold out in my size! Grrr.

Think I'd be a 14 curvy, but just wondering if a 12sc might work. I might order it too to try!

Oh that made no sense! I meant I've ordered this one too. It might not be dressy enough so I might just keep it for day wear
