Or a really good one anyway.
shirt dress from h&m
It's modal, feels really cool & comfy. Looks kinda preppy/boho. Has pockets!!

I bought it 3 days ago, have gotten loads of compliments & feel very comfy yet stylish.

Caveat #1 I have yet to launder it
Caveat #2 I do prefer my shoulders/upper arms covered, others may feel differently!

I paid �30, so I presume £25 or so...

Can I present an alternative then? It's one of the ones I got in sainsburys yesterday, just trying to find a picture of it. It's knee length on me (5'10"), red with white spots, cap sleeve, tea dress kind of shape. I'm a size 16 with GG boobs and big hips and it fits and skims beautifully. And it's £18!

Sainsburys have had some nice dresses in recently. They sell out so fast though, plus no buying online. Why?

Mind you I am old and my legs look like a child has drawn on them with purple felt tip Sad

I like the idea of getting to choose your prison outfit from H&M Grin!!

Fideliney read again! I'm nowhere near skinny. And I raise you your DD's with my GG's!

I would be a generous sz 14 (TG for vanity sizing). I do pin it just between the boobs, but I pin everything!

I like it for these reasons
I like the style
Nice fabric
Sleeves
Pockets
Fabric drapes well
Flattering as it skims over lumps rather than clings
Is not tent like.

I wear it in a breezy bare tanned legs and flat tan sandals-way.

Oh that was shirt-dress-depressed eyes reading. I can see a tan would help

I had a look at it today but was too short on me and I wasn't that keen on the fabric - it felt quite stiff. Took me long enough to find it in there!

I have ordered it plus a black jersey dress which was 7.99. I expect it to arrive around 2018 Grin
