For a busty size 16, to wear with thick tights and long boots in winter.

Looks a bit sacky to me, sorry!

Graciescotland · 30/09/2014 12:59

I'm in the shapeless sack camp I'm afraid, sorry.

Lambzig · 30/09/2014 13:01

Very shapeless sack, especially on someone busty. Sorry.

Behoove · 30/09/2014 13:03

I suspected that would be the case. Thanks.

A second option here ?

Not sure about the asymmetry on the white bit in the second one,

what about something like this www.asos.com/ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Wrap-Dress-With-Bow-Front-In-Longer-Length/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4364816&cid=9577&Rf900=1465&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black&totalstyles=316&gridsize=3

Thanks super
Would you believe it, I have that one already!

Ideally what im looking for is a thick ponte or jersey zip or button through shirt dress with sleeves and a decent length. If such a thing exists.

Second option is nice enough. The first is a sack.

hellsbellsmelons · 30/09/2014 14:19

Something like THIS??
PONTE??
Flattering?

Behoove · 30/09/2014 15:26

Well I think the first one is much much nicer than any of the others!

pinkfrocks · 30/09/2014 15:42

dreadful. flares out at all the wrong places. Hattie Jacques comes to mind.

hellsbellsmelons · 30/09/2014 16:47

I am wearing that in black today behoove
It's very flattering. Hides my tummy nicely.
I've just ordered the same dress I have linked and one in black with white spots.
Comfy as well.
Everyone comments when I wear it.
Hope they all like the other versions as well!

This ? m.newlook.com/application/product/view?cat=326718150

Going against the grain but that would work well on my figure (Apple shaped, no defined waist). If you have a good waist avoid that style though.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 01/10/2014 07:37

I love the ponte dress in forest green, it's stunning.

Fabulassie · 01/10/2014 08:04

The wrap or bias ruched dresses look good. The first one is ghastly. That model looks like she's going to throw ashes on herself and start tearing out her hair.
