Honest opinion on this dress

[SweetPeaPods]

I've bought a dress. I like but I'm not sure. What you think?
Phase eight Mandy stripe maxi dress. Sorry, not sure how to link.

It's for a christening in a couple of weeks time. I have some white wedges not sure if they would be suitable? I'm only 5'3 so you wouldn't actually see the shoes.
Not sure what other accessories to wear? Don't need handbag as will use DSs change bag but should I wear necklace, bracelet etc?

Could you not turn it up?

Sorry, I don't like the pattern. It does look quite cheap for some reason (which it isn't!)

I like these better :)

I really like the 2nd ond

One*

But would look naff with big milk filled boobies

yeah, I tried to find ones with a fairly substantial top half, as a lot of maxi dresses are a bit skimpy up top.
Incidentally, Oasis have have lovely midi dresses this summer.

Is this nice? I am in two minds. I think I like it but not the belt.
Sorry, hijack! Back to work for me, no more online window shopping!

Is it a petite size?

At 5ft 3 I wonder if it will swamp you.

I would just have a pashmina with me, diamond studs, maybe a bracelet....no necklace.

I am 5ft 6 and would find that dress long.

I like it though.

I like it though I would wear it with flat sandals.

I don't like it OP, but that's my personal taste - more importantly I think that big print in a maxi on 5'3" frame will swamp you. I also agree it doesn't look like 100 quid's worth.

Something in one colour with daintier shoulder straps might be better.

25% off today with the code DRESS

With 25% off and shortened if necessary, I think it will look great.

It should also fit for several months to come which is a huge boon when PG.

I think it looks cheap on the model, because she has no breasts, it isn't hanging neatly.

Like all dresses you have to try it on and see how it hangs on you.

It says it's lined which is good for not clinging to bump, but bad if it makes it too warm later in the summer.

I really like it, you could also wear it as your bump gets bigger and after your baby is born. It could even be shortened to knee length for a new look next year or accessorised with red or turquoise bangles and shoes for a change.
