dress over jeans yes or no?

[katzg]

dresses worn over jeans do we like or not?

if yes then which one?

i'm a size 14/16

Too much clothing.

Perfect for that! Can also 'layer up' with lacy vests and chunky belts!
I am 29 and know what you mean about feeling frumpy sometimes, as I still have some baby weight to lose.

Speaking of bellies, dd's teacher asked me if I was pg yesterday. I could have slapped her stupid face. What a question! I am the only one to think that this question is a total no-no, no matter how big a tummy might be? My tummy's not flat, especially now after having a uterine cyst removed & my tubes tied recently but it's not that big! Silly b*tch.

its not only the baby weight - i was a little chubby before i had DD1 let alone DD2!!

I am a shorty (5ft) and have tried on lots of shirt dresses to go over jeans and I finally got one in Oasis which wasn't too long for me and it looks good

My tip is avoid ones with a tie belt they made me look like a sack of spuds tied in the middle!

I meant, am I the only one to think this a total no-no of a question?

it is a very common look round here:

dress
beads
skinny jeans
ballet pumps

EVERYONE seems to wear it, usually with a cropped jacket over the top.

Looks nice but I like to be different

Yeah, it can look great if you're thin. But that's my opinion so don't take offense.

perfect for evening with trousers

Dont think you have to be thin to wear this sort of combo. I think hips look smaller with an a line dress or long top over the hips, rather than a fitted t shirt or top.

That's pretty. It's not something you'd wear as a dress, though, right?

I like it. I had a rather cool (IIDSSM) khaki shirt dress that i wore over skinny jeans with pumps. I thought it looked good with chunky beads but now am pregnant and cant fit into either the jeans or the dress

I think with a lot of these 'dresses' they are just 'long tops'!

Just need to find one which fits your own shape. I am a window dresser and often dress mannequins in this type of combo, love it.

Esmummy - keep the oufit, you will fit back in.

okay i like this one \link{http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gorgeous-Retro-Stripe-Wrap-Dress-Size-16-BNWT_W0QQitemZ9312643575QQcategoryZ53158QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem\red stripey dress}

what do you think?

I like. Did not think I would from your description (was thinking butcher's aprons ) but yes it is nice.

hmm shall i bid and will it get here by tues?

Bit of a risk re arriving I would say. And you would have to do buy it now. Also wonder if it is a bit long (says calf length) to wear with jeans?

i have such huge boobs, i bet it would coem down to my knees!!!

I quite like it, but haven't got the guts to pull it off... DD is modelling it well today though - less through choice, more through tantrum about wanting to wear dress and jeans and mummy couldn't be bothered to argue!!

I remember it from about 8 years ago too... when I was at college, my friend did it a lot, she thought it detracted from the size of her bum (not convinced myself...)

Katzg, like the dress, it looks low cut, but you can wear a cami top underneath.

Oooh that dress is lovely! I have huge boobs and a sticky out bum, so probably wouldn't be pretty (only tried a wrap dress once, and I was very pregnant at the time - the big bump out the front plus bum that sticks out a mile = bloody silly look )

I haven't got any jeans to go with em either... nothing fits :(

think i will have a hunt around town - at least i can try it on then! even if i end up paying more!

i think it may look daft! too much cleavage and a nursing bra not a great loo i feel!
