I don't like it, sorry. Too frumpy.

bigTillyMint · 10/07/2012 19:59

I like it. Very Kirstie Allsop - she looks good in them, I don't see why you wouldn'tSmile

mistressploppy · 10/07/2012 20:28

I am quite frumpy though, generally. I like Kirstie Allsop's clothes. But her boobs are bigger than mine

Only if you are seriously hour glass otherwise no

I have an ENORMOUS lard arse bottom, and I adore shirt dresses Grin
I think it'd be fine, probably won't hide your bum, but why should you? Grin

Caerlaverock · 10/07/2012 20:32

plain is better I find their jersey stuff very forgiving

mirpuppet · 10/07/2012 21:17

I say try it -- you won't know unless you try.

I love that kind of dress and I think with your height you could definitely do it justice. I also think it would definitely balance out your bum. Are you vaguely hourglassy?

My only stipulation would be to only go for the red or black. The patterned ones look much more frumpy and circus-tenty.

NewChoos · 10/07/2012 21:28

I like it, definitely worth a try!

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 10/07/2012 21:33

They haven't got it in an 18. Sad

Bugger.

mistressploppy · 10/07/2012 21:39

They only have the circus-tenty green one in 18L Sad

Oh fat arse

Yes! It's fab! Would skim over bottom and thighs.

OneLieIn · 10/07/2012 22:17

Saw this in the boden shop last week, in til it looks like curtains or maybe a tablecloth

Do not buy it

OneLieIn · 10/07/2012 22:17

In real life not til

Pandygirl · 10/07/2012 22:52

Nope, it's too busy and a bad length, sorry.

Krumbum · 11/07/2012 02:38

It's really pretty and not too short (like everything seems to be Angry ). Not frumpy at all, the tops very fitted! Get it!
