http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Boat-Neck-Knitted-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2240586&SearchQuery=asos%20navy%20dress&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=-1&sort=-1&clr=Navy. I've never bought any ASOS brand stuff before, but it's bargainous, 100% cotton, feels so cosy and great quality. Also not as short on me (5'5") as it looks in the picture.

That's lovely. And if I didn't have a bottom the size of Europe I would buy it. Dammit.

MarshaBrady · 21/09/2012 12:43

That's very nice! Might be a bit short on me, but great if not.

TheBirdsTheBirds · 21/09/2012 12:46

Would the tulip shape not be quite forgiving on big bottoms AngryFeet? It's very roomy on the hips.

Really like that. Does look like it might be a tad short on me, but will give it a go Grin

CakeInMyFace · 21/09/2012 13:17

Ooo I love that. What's the fit like? Im a 10 in some things and 12 in others. Is it on the small side?

TheBirdsTheBirds · 21/09/2012 14:02

Not on the small side, true to size I'd say. If your top half is your bigger bit then you'll be fine with the 10, if it's your bottom half that's sometimes a 12 I'd say get the 12 because it might ruin the shape to have it tight on the hips.

That's lovely!

IShallPracticeMyCurtsey · 21/09/2012 14:46

That is lovely.
Well wear, OP. Am on shopping freeze otherwise would indulge for sure!

cornzy · 21/09/2012 14:47

how high is it above the knee on you?

TheBirdsTheBirds · 21/09/2012 15:44

Ok, I've finally changed out of my pyjamas at the impressive hour of 15.43 and am wearing the dress. It's four inches above the top of my knee, five if I was to measure from the middle of my kneecap.

Another plus point for the dress... DH just came home and said:"It makes your tits look very nice."

He's a charmer Hmm Grin

Can I just say a big thank you TheBirdsTheBirds. That dress totally ticks all my boxes (colour, shape, sleeves etc), and as a result of your post I have bought it in both colours. Thank you

THETrills · 21/09/2012 18:17

That's a lovely dress but if it's 4 inches above your 5'5 knee then I think it would be shorter than I would want (thanks for the useful details though!)

CakeInMyFace · 21/09/2012 18:20

I think Im going to have to buy this! Thanks for the post op!

SunshineOutdoors · 21/09/2012 20:59

Me too! If I see someone in it I'll be looking for other mn signs.... scarf, sock bun etc

QueenBeebread · 21/09/2012 21:14

Oh dear, I've accidentally ordered this one too.

pigsmightnevercease · 21/09/2012 21:52

Me too! Grin

And my finger slipped and I accidentally ordered this to wear with it Blush

Mummyonthewedge you're welcome, it's my ideal day dress too!

I suddenly realised I should order the grey one too last night, before you all bought them all!

Sorry elizabeth, maybe theyll get more, or someone on here won't want theirs when it arrives?

OP posts:
trixymalixy · 22/09/2012 11:21

Mines arriving in about an hour! What are you wearing with it birds?

TheBirdsTheBirds · 22/09/2012 11:27

Right now i'm wearing it with black opaques, fur lined knee high dark brown winter boots, dark green scarf and cropped leather jacket as i'm out for the day. Will wear with my balck suede topshop ankle boots for smarter days. And a tan skinny belt.

MissKeithLemon · 22/09/2012 11:46

Grr Angry I really like that dress but I fear it will be too short on me for daywear (5'8")

trixymalixy · 22/09/2012 11:55

I'm about the same height as you mrskeithlemon. I shall report back when it arrives.

NettoSuperstar · 22/09/2012 12:01

Tis lovely, will buy next week.
Can't get it now as bought the owl dress yesterday!
