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.

Wit woo!

It looks lovely, seriously! Really nice dress :).

Just looked at the body shaper thing. £45 isn't bad. I think id get the short style one that has straps.

I think he spanx that is similar is more like £75.

Might have to credit card that! Thanks.

You look fab - honestly!

Can link now, this is the kind of thing I was thinking of. I found the skirt one rolled up a bit, which was annoying!

lovetomoan · 15/05/2012 17:45

You look great :)

nightswimmer · 15/05/2012 17:48

You look amazing, all the men will be doing double takes as you walk in the door!

Lifeissweet · 15/05/2012 17:57

Grrr. I am actually a 14 with a jelly belly, big arms and a massive arse. You, my dear, are not.

PippiL · 15/05/2012 18:19

Thanks so much for your kind words.

You know when you buy a dress and think you look ok in it, and then you have a crisis of confidence and you are not sure, and you are having a fat day, and all your friends are perfect 10s, and your DH can't help... You just need someone to tell you the honest truth.

Woopsidaisy - I'm getting the credit card out for that shaper suit!

You look lovely. Bum is not big at all. I can see the front seam of the spanx slightly in the pic of the front but only because I was checking for it.

AnyFucker · 15/05/2012 18:22

eh ?

You have a fabulous figure

Great rack !

knitknack · 15/05/2012 18:47

You look stunning! Your figure is amazing and that dress really really suits you - wear it every day :)

permaquandry · 15/05/2012 19:09

Looks gorgeous. Hope you've had enough positive posts to make you feel fab on the actual day. Have a great time.

Krumbum · 15/05/2012 19:16

What's there not be confident about! You look gorgeous.

enthusiasmcurbed · 15/05/2012 19:16

You look fantastic, all curvy and lovely.

QuickLookBusy · 15/05/2012 19:17

You look greatSmile

geekette · 15/05/2012 19:31

Really hard to look at your rear with your forerunners stealing the show...
But I did my best and can only echo the general trend of the thread.

nowahousewife · 15/05/2012 19:32

You look fab! Definately no sign of a jellybelly (take it from one who does have one). Am just logging on to Pepperberry to buy that dress!

Pollykitten · 15/05/2012 19:34

not remotely!

EclecticShock · 15/05/2012 19:36

Not at all, looks very flattering. I'm a fan of spanx though, means you can, drink and be merry and still look good :)

DaPrincessBride · 15/05/2012 19:37

Wow!! You look gorgeous!

ThereGoesTheYear · 15/05/2012 19:40

You look lovely! Great figure, and the dress suits you.

Your bum looks amazing and the dress is v flattering on you. I see no sign of bingo wingds and you deffo don't need a cover-up for that reason, though you made need something to keep you warm anyway. I'm going to buck the trend a bit though and say that I think you need a cami under it.
