Isabella Oliver 365 wrap dress in size 16

I love the look of the Isabella Oliver 365 wrap dress but am a little unsure about it. I haven't lost the baby weight I gained with DD and am a size 16. Is the dress flattering in a size 16 or would it just show up every lump and bump? Also, is the v neck low cut? I'm slightly smaller than average and find some necklines are just too low cut for me. TIA

I think the long sleeved version is slightly higher in the neck line. I have the short sleeved version and find it quite flatteringwith a good pair of big pants underneath. The sizes come up pretty large so it may be worth going for the size below.

Hi the jaffacakesareonme.
I have the drape dress, which is similar. I was a size 14/16, hourglass with 32H bust. I found the neckline low, but that is flattering for me, I wore a plunge bra.
It was comfortable and flattering, but did make my arse look a bit big! However, I like to think that this was in a Joan-from-Mad-Men way...

I have short sleeved one and it is flattering, hides bumps etc but I wear control slip anyway

They are ENORMOUS. I am a 14/16, trying to get back to a 12. Ordered a 12 as I was optimistic (Grin) and had to send it back as it was too big. I also find their stuff very dull and not worth the money/hype really. I've tried the wrap dresses but then see them on every woman my size when we all face an occasion where we need to look a bit smart - they've become a bit of a uniform I think.

They are v flattering though :)

Are you my sightly-more-brave alter ego?
I have that dress in that size and am also 32H. But I find it really low and end up wearing a cami underneath. Is it really ok with just a bra?
