Flattering striped maxi dress?

Is there such a thing? Am looking for a navy/white striped number with a neckline that doesn't leave a massive expanse of cleavage on display (am a 32E and love the Phase Eight cross-over-top style one I bought last year but it shows off rather more than I would like).

The only ones I have seen are either too cleavagey or fabric too thin.

Am a size 10 and will spend up to £80.

Laura Ashley have a nice looking one in the sale. I haven't seen it in the flesh though so don't know if the fabric is thin or not.

Sorry Hobbs one not striped but navy and ivory patterned.

I just bought a bargain striped jersey maxi from Dorothy Perkins - £20!

BasilDonna · 28/05/2012 20:19

Someone on the train today had the perfect one on - relatively wide stripes, brown and ivory, not too tight, looked perfect.
I didn't ask where from, though was dying to.

Oxymoron.

I don't have Dresses this gorgeous one from Great Plains but i want it!!

Peppin · 28/05/2012 22:47

I like the Kaliko one and also the Great Plains one but after seeing the other thread about maxi dresses, I'm wondering if I should go for a top and maxi skirt instead now! Just like having a dress on in hot weather as no waistband is nice and cool.

Do maxi dresses really make you look fat/pregnant? I am size 10 and 5'5".

I don't look fat or pregnant in the Kaliko dress - I look very nice!
