I bought a flattering knitted dress for a chunky apple!

Now that's really sold it well hasn't it?

But its this one - it is very flattering due to the charcoal grey panels.

Oh I really love that, I just wish it was half the price!

Its 20% off and also cashback via quidco.

So not too £££

But I was just so happy to find a dress that didn't make me look hideous

That's lovely! Did you buy the XS MrsCB? How's the fit? Is it itchy at all?

MrsCampbellBlack · 14/12/2013 08:37

I got the small which is the size the model is wearing as didn't want it to be clingy and am not at my fighting weight at the moment.

It does need a slip underneath.

Not itchy to me but I have a high tolerence to itchiness.

That's really cute!

Hi op, what size are you in other shops? I can't work out which to order,I love the dress,thanks for sharing.

MrsCampbellBlack · 14/12/2013 18:52

I'm generally an 8 but carry weight around my middle. I do think its a very flattering dress though and would work well whatever your shape.

That's lovely!

RandomMess · 14/12/2013 18:54

I'm an short and a bit tubby apple and that is the shape of dress I mostly wear.

Hope it's in the sale at some point...

NachoAddict · 14/12/2013 18:55

That's gorgeous, out of my price range but really nice.

lurkingaround · 14/12/2013 18:58

Thanks, it does look lovely. I'm a pear and I think it might suit me too!

lurkingaround · 14/12/2013 18:59

Oh posted too soon. What's the colour like? Is it a pinky beige or just plain old beige?

MrsCampbellBlack · 14/12/2013 19:01

Its quite a biscuity beige.

Its new in so not sure when it will hit the sale - I've bought a few bits from there this season, their stuff has got a lot nicer this year but the good stuff does seem to sell out quickly.

Thanks MrsCB.

Not my style but I think it would look nice on the right figure. ps-at a size 8 I doubt you are a chunky apple.
