first foray - so be gentle! Will I get away with this dres?!

[nimbs]

do you think that a 5'5" (size 14) could get away with wearing this dress - I've tried it on and liked it but am not sure whether that's because I've lost a bit of weight so am still surprised when stuff fits or whether it looks ok! If yes - what accessories could I wear with it? Am so clueless when it comes to this sort of thing!

I definitely think yes and I would personally go for either nude or tan bag and wedges

fab - thanks :) so more shopping needed - oh dear

That's lovely - phase eight have some great dresses.
Like above suggestion but might also wear silver flat sandals.

What a hardship!!! I love phase eight at the mo some of their maxis are fab and so comfortable.

It was a hardship in the fact that I had to narrow it down from about 10 dresses that I loved! So silver flats too - got 3 parties (all with different people) so I will be wearing it a lot (well that's my excuse for all the new shoes/bags to go with it!)

I love post weight loss shopping - totally justified and very rewarding - enjoy! It's been a while since I had that pleasure!

Aw no well that one is a good choice and loads of things you can mix and match it with depending on the occasion I reckon it can be dressed up or down. For example a blazer and flats for daytime and heels and maybe a little shrug for evening. I think silver jewellery will look nice but also maybe some chunky beads for daytime. Sorry I have come over all gok wan haha

You could get away with it- I prefer this one though.

Nice frock - definitely.

Thanks for all the tips - I need to be Gok Wan(ned) is that a verb to be Gokked? without the tv coverage!! I like that one too Tether - think I may need to start playing the lottery!

Love tethers choice!
