I rarely post in here but I've just bought a dress and it's perfect

I have NEVER (to my memory) bought a dress that looked nice on me. It's always been a case of picking the least worst. But I bought this one and it actually does look like it should. I love it!

i have a really nice pair of M&S high heeled sandals that will go well i think - they are just two skinny straps really and v cute

god i hope it fits - i'm a bit long in the body..

I've shredded before. It put me in hospital for a week (seriously)

Maybe I could just do the arm weights combined with cycling.

DialsMavis · 29/07/2013 19:48

May I ask how short the lovely dress is?n

MrsCR · 29/07/2013 20:40

bought one! Perfect for a summer party. Thanks!

BadgersRetreat · 29/07/2013 20:42

Christ, i hope we're not all going to the same party Grin

lol when ou all turn up wearing TH DRESS. I will appear in a puff of smoke wearing something entirely different to cackle at you all and then vanish off with my commission from House of Fraser.

How long...well I suppose it depends how long your legs are :o On me, it's above the knee but nowhere near verging on miniskirt iyswim

FrancesDeLaTourCoughngIntoABin · 29/07/2013 20:46

Viva...how??

VivaLeBeaver · 29/07/2013 20:53

I had such terrible pain in my back which I ignored and it got worse until one day I couldn't sit, stand, move. Was sobbing in pain. I've previously broken my back and got slipped discs.

Was admitted for hourly morphine and an MRI as they suspected I'd slipped another disc.....I hadn't.

After six months I tried shredding again and within a week I old feel the same pain starting. So gave up.

Shock

see - exercise is bad for you. I get none of this bother sitting on the sofa with a glass of wine...

CatelynStark · 31/07/2013 21:10

Right, I've ordered the dress - it's lovely!

Now I need some naice shoes and a hat because I'm going somewhere vair vair posh in December (so probably need a jacket too).

Anyone spotted anything that will be suitable? Or fancy a challenge? MTIA :)

mirpuppet · 31/07/2013 21:35

I tried on today. Was not fabulous on me.

Hope all else enjoy. I returned the dress.

MoreThanWords · 31/07/2013 21:55

Another sucker follower of fashion here! Love how you can order it this evening and collect tomorrow (along with the suit I ordered late last night).

MoreThanWords · 31/07/2013 21:57

mirpuppet what size/shape are you, if you don't mind sharing?

mashpot · 31/07/2013 22:36

Ooh it made the email newsletter!

FrancesDeLaTourCoughngIntoABin · 31/07/2013 22:38

BASTARDS! I paid more for it than that :o

mir, sorry the dress didn't work out for you :(

Trills · 23/08/2013 12:28

This dress started following me around the internet so I bought it.

It is clearly built for a pear shape - it makes me feel rather thin :)

(I'm not fat, but I don't often feel thin, IYSWIM)

mirpuppet · 23/08/2013 12:44

Sorry for delayed reply.

I am a pear shape but the dress was too shift like to suit my large bottom.

But my bottom is quite large Grin. Others will not have this problem.

Sybilvimes · 23/08/2013 12:51

It didn't suit me either. I think it was just too 'womanly' a shape, and I don't have the hips or chest or it.

furryjen · 20/11/2013 17:43

What is sredding?

ProtectiveMother · 21/11/2013 22:59

Marking place

Kefybaby · 22/11/2013 06:23
