Pic on profile.

This is with spanx, you can see them through the dress.

I'm a 14 with a jelly belly, big ole arse, back boobs and corned beef arms. Not feeling super confident about it.

its for a wedding and I was planning on wearing with a coral coloured wrap, and matching shoes.

Can't see your bum. You look great in it - that's an honest opinion.

IAmBooyhoo · 15/05/2012 16:47

nope not at all big. i cant notice the spanx either.

littleshinyone · 15/05/2012 16:48

Great baps!

Dillydollydaydream · 15/05/2012 16:51

I think you look lovely in the dress. It's very flattering :)

fragola · 15/05/2012 16:51

You look lovely - stop worrying!

AllOverIt · 15/05/2012 16:55

Really lovely, curvy and trim Envy Smile

paulapantsdown · 15/05/2012 16:55

well you'd be in a bad way if I could see your arse from the front!

I think it looks great, nice colour dress and great knockers to take away any negative emphasis from bum anyway!

memphis83 · 15/05/2012 16:56

You look great, if you have a jelly belly then the dress skims it really well, your boobs and waist look great. And your bum looks fine and not at all big!

PippiL · 15/05/2012 16:56

hmm, maybe I better put the back view and sitting view on. they really aren't so flattering.

Gorgeous!

What about a little cargigan instead of a wrap - might be easier to wear all day rather than readjusting a wrap all the time?

I know they're Boden Blush but perhaps something like these might work well? After all, why potentially cover up your tiny waist and other great features with a wrap!

Am v v Envy now!

Looks a lovely flattering dress. Boobs look fab.

You look great compared to your description of yourself.

Can't see the Spanx.

Is it clingy at the back? Is that what you're worried about because you can't tell from these pics.

roguepixie · 15/05/2012 17:00

You look gorgeous.

Got my magnifying glass out and still couldn't see an VPL's.

Can I ask where the dress comes from ... it's lovely ... but you make it look fantastic.

karen3w · 15/05/2012 17:01

Looks great, no sign of Spanx or big bum!

funnypeculiar · 15/05/2012 17:02

Wow, that's a great dress. or you're gorgeous Grin

Where's the dress from...?!?

pinktortoise · 15/05/2012 17:04

Great dress that looks good on you! Enjoy the wedding.

FunnysInLaJardin · 15/05/2012 17:05

No, you look lovely. I wish I looked like that Envy

PippiL · 15/05/2012 17:05

arse pics are on now.

its from pepperberry, but they only had a12 RSC not a 14 SC like I normally take.
I'm worried about the spanx rolling down cos they tend to do that. normally I have to safety pin them to my bra!

off to look at shrug cardigan thingies to cover the bingo wings up.

That dress is a ridiculously good and flattering fit on you, you look fab Smile

woopsidaisy · 15/05/2012 17:10

Have you tried the Trinny and Susannah all in one spanx things? They have straps so don't fall down. They come as a slip, knicker style or cycling shorts style. Sorry, can't do links on IPad. Debenhams do them.
You look fab by the way!
