I've solved my eternal summer dress quest.....& it's half price!

So, I look like a tranny/barmaid in most summer dresses as I have boobs. Its such a fine line for me from looking OK in a dress to an utter fleshy mess.

I've bought and sent back 5 dresses in the last 2 weeks as they were too short, too flimsy, sleeveless, too floral, too meh!

Finally I think i've solved it. So, to cover my curvaceous 14-16, big boobed (e cup), 5'9, this seems to tick all but one box....

Not in a stupid colour/ design - tick
Not too short - tick, to the knee
Not sleeveless - tick, flattering cap sleeves
Not high necked - tick, mock wrap v neckline
Not hooker cleavage - tick, moderate coverage, they're not on display, but out enough to create a good shape..
Not polyester - not ticked, life ain't perfect, it hangs well though..
No frills, flowers to make me look like a barmaid - tick, plain
Not clingy - tick, empire line, hides tummy, ver ver flattering

Fits like a dream.. I feel OK it it rather than a tranny/ barmaid/ boobs out on the pull. It suits both flats or wedges... I can dress up for evening with gold hoops/cuff or down for the day with flats and a denim jacket...

I do wish it was cotton, but the polyester does give it a good 'hang' Shock so to speak which is very flattering.

it's also HALF PRICE, so thought i'd share...... Grin

Godammit, I've ordered the Vila one now too as it was so cheap. I will probably definitely send anything that isn't perfect back.

It's nice, but I couldn't wear it as polyester makes me sweat like a pig.

I just get annoyed that all dresses this season are all too bleedin short for me and are sleeveless Angry. This dress ticks MOST but not ALL of my boxes.....

Live the Vila one johnny ;)
