I like the MV one a lot - will try that.

Have got a VW v similar (iirc) to your one, Eliot. Looking for something a bit different, I think.

Oi Remus. On phase right. The minueta in dark green ? Prob too long. Cut some off. ?

EliotNess · 17/06/2013 08:19

Or the grey ilse ? A bit ruchey maybe.

I've seen a blue plain jersey one on there I might get for my work do

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/06/2013 19:59

Don't like them, sorry. Too shiny.

Love this but the pale top would be awful on me.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/06/2013 20:28

Can't remember if I've posted this already but I like the back Too shapeless?

have resorted to US sites in desperation

tethersend · 17/06/2013 21:04

and ebay

tethersend · 17/06/2013 21:09

another US site, sorry

similar to your link

TheMagicKeyCanFuckOff · 18/06/2013 08:34

Did someone else do this?!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/06/2013 17:37

American sites and Ebay no good. Sorry Tethers.

KM one is okay but I don't like the neck/shoulder line.

No opinions on that frill back one?

OP posts:
soaccidentprone · 18/06/2013 18:21

The reiss dress is lovely. However I don't think it would flatter your shape and curvesGrin

MrsLettuce · 18/06/2013 18:36

The frill back one was good, liked that a lot. Would need fabulous shoes and hair.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/06/2013 19:43

I can do fab shoes but have crap hair.

I think I'll try it on - it could work and it could be a disaster as, although I'm curvy I'm quite slim of hip and v small across the back. Maybe I've made myself sound more 'va va boom' than I actually am!
