Will i look like a fool if i wear them with a plain black or white top for a christmas night out.

There is a dress in the same print. www.hobbs.co.uk/product/display?productID=0212-5534-3799L00&productvarid=0212-5534-3799L00-BLACK%20IVORY-16&refpage=search/results

I'm 5ft 3 and an apple shape with a very obvious tummy. Would it suit do you think?

I really like them, but with the trousers I think you would need to be pretty skinny. What size are you OP?

Leavehim · 26/11/2012 13:43

I Have good legs (i think!!) but as mentioned have a tummy. Wear size 12 in HOBBS.

I'd be very wary of the trousers unless you're quite slim, they can make you look loads bigger than you actually are. They are nice though but I prefer the dress.

I like the dress, but I would not wear those trousers, they look pretty unflattering and I think I would look a bit ridiculous in them personally.

Ephiny · 26/11/2012 13:48

(though I'm similar height but more of a pear-shape, so tend to be wary of anything patterned/voluminous drawing attention to my lower half!)

FellowshipOfFestiveFellows · 26/11/2012 13:50

Prefer the dress (sorry!)

cuppateaandagingersnap · 26/11/2012 13:51

I personally love the dress, I think the trousers would be very difficult to pull off unless you were tall and skinny-but the dress could be very fun and flattering. I often fall into the trap of seeing something that looks fab in the pictures on the models but when I try it on I just look dumpy.

The dress is nice. I do think the trousers look a bit like pj's!

Claxonia · 27/11/2012 18:27

I think they are lovely, would probably wear with a red or pink top (I am not the best person to advise on dressing appropriately though!)
