Too tight?

If I post a dress pic can someone tell me if its too tight?! There's some background here that a family member constantly tells me I'm fat (which I know) but I've been buying baggy clothes for a while and I'm just not sure

I love that leopard print dress and you look fabulous in it so ignore the bitchy comments.

The other dress looks good too especially with the belt emphasising your waist.

EMUZ · 01/07/2013 19:33

Thank you. I put it on and thought um I'm not sure but then I always feel stupid when I try a waist belt on. Like when I don't know, maybe feel as if you're dressing up in someone else's clothes?

I think they both look fab- not too tight at all. Enjoy wearing them.

specialsubject · 01/07/2013 19:34

looks fine to me, fits well and as you know you aren't fat.

Gok Wan would love you - fabulous bangers, well defined waist and surprisingly tidy hips. Go girl!

KosherBacon · 01/07/2013 19:35

They both look lovely. People who tell you otherwise are talking crap. Where's the first top from?

Right I will keep it and wear it. I know I have huge boobs so I don't suit polo necks Smile
A lot of it is I have broad shoulders and I'm tall with red hair so I can't hide away much

The first one is rainbow drops dress from Great Plains sale. Think it was £27

Are you really a 16? What height are you?

Great boobs Envy

Hullygully · 01/07/2013 19:38

I like the first and the shape of the second but at my age leopard print reminds one too much of Bet lynch

MsWinnieBaygo · 01/07/2013 19:38

Looks like it fits well & doesn't look too tight. Belt extenuates your waist and it shows off your curves in a flattering way IMO

EhricLovesTeamQhuay · 01/07/2013 19:39

You have a fab figure, much more shapely than me and I'm a 16 too.

EMUZ · 01/07/2013 19:39

Hully Grin
I'm 29 so hopefully not bet lynch yet
I'm a 16, sometimes wear an 18 when I don't feel confident about something. Just under 5'10 and (gulp) 16 stone

Test...

HomelessAngua · 01/07/2013 19:40

leopard is back on trend apparently - and you look great in both. Well done you.

EhricLovesTeamQhuay · 01/07/2013 19:40

Sorry about the random cat picture but wtf? Can anyone else post pictures?

talkingnonsense · 01/07/2013 19:40

I would try belting the second one a bit lower? Might emphasise your slim hips?

cocolepew · 01/07/2013 19:46

You have a fabulous figure.

mrspaddy · 01/07/2013 19:49

I honestly don't think you look a 16.. really lovely dresses. Probably with the second one I would get a cropped black acket to get more wear out of it for different occassions too.

InkleWinkle · 01/07/2013 19:49

Neither dress is too tight. You look a lovely shape in both.

I think some one may be a bit envious of your figure so just ignore them!!

cocolepew · 01/07/2013 19:50

You have a fabulous figure.

cocolepew · 01/07/2013 19:50

Ooops so good I posted twice Grin

Beaverfeaver · 01/07/2013 20:03

Great figure!
I am a size 12 and jealous of your smooth curvy shape org dresses look great on you.

EMUZ · 01/07/2013 20:09

Thank you. I love makeup an I've started doing bright lips, and stopped fake tan in a effort to embrace the paleness
Now if I can sort the clothes - oh and hair Sad that's a problem
I'd like a blazer type thing. Like when Kate moss does jeans and boots and a jacket. I've tried them but I can't quite work it, none of the jackets I've tried look right
