Posted this morning about the FCUK 20% off and my amazing bargain which I loved:

www.frenchconnection.com/product/71BCI/Satellite+Jewel+Strappy+Dress.htm

Showed some folk at work and they all hate it!! Particularly the embellishment.

Have I lost the plot?? Please please tell me what you think...

Personally I love it, but think it wouldn't suit anyone with a big bust! xx

Teeb · 19/11/2014 13:48

Lovely if you're tall and non curvy. Anything bigger than a B Cup would look out of place

I love it HappyGirl! and had a look this morning, think you posted link yesterday(?) would love it, but only size 6 left. (never in my wildest dreams:( ) Feck the haters.

I'm really not sure.
I think I quite like it.
I'm just trying to imagine it on me.
And just how horrid my armpits would look.
If you are tall and thin with no under arm fat bits and have no bust then it could work.

PHEW! Was starting to worry I'd lost it - so glad I'm not the only person in the world who likes it - I love it!

Sorry you couldn't get it sky - I managed to get a size 10 last night.. So yes, I'm 5' 9", size 10 (10/12 on bottom) and small B cup... So hopefully it'll look ok..

Thanks happiness they thought the flowers on the front were odd, said they would have liked it if it were plain.. But I like the flowers, it's different..

Really ronald in what way? Can't see it myself?

OP on your figure I think it would look lovely...on mine not so much

TheHappinessTrap · 19/11/2014 18:48

Plain would be fine, but the flowers, along with the cut, make the dress.

SmellyFartado · 19/11/2014 19:09

Don't like it at all sorry OP. The satin pinafore top, flowers and length are very dated.

Thanks feathers - it's en route so fingers crossed

No problem smelly I don't think it is dated but certainly don't expect everyone to like it - just wanted to know that everyone didn't hate it as the sample in my office seemed to suggest

I like it but agree that you need a small chest for it.
