It's for dinner and drinks, thinking of nude shoes, it's to highlight some weight loss size 18- to size 14!
Smile I'm also 5ft 7 and I'm a pear with excellent boobs!

Fantastic weight loss!!

But that model is about a size 6/8. Something so clinging will just not look good on anyone bigger (am a good size 16 myself!)

You've every right to feel good. Its not you, its the dress.

MikeTheShite · 18/03/2015 12:40

Thank you all I shall keep looking

That and that are still sexy, without being all - look, look, breasts.

Or a floral one or another, if your legs are good as it is a bit short.

Just an update, I've ordered a few dresses and the one I linked to arrived first.
It's a 14, fantastic quality for the price, it fits and most of all it looks absolutely gorgeous. I've tightened the straps so that it's higher, and haven't even tried it on yet with spanx, but with simple back heels and a nice necklace I felt amazing in it!
I'm shocked, first time in years I felt that way!
I promise I look nothing like the model, totally stripped back! My weightloss highlighted it and when I've send a friend a picture of me in it- she didn't realise it was me in it!!!!

That's good.
I am glad you ordered it in the end.
You know your body the best and what suits it.
Now get out there and get that man!

MikeTheShite · 20/03/2015 11:24

For once in my life I can safely say that if he doesn't notice me in that dress (not like the model!) it is not down to me lol Wink

Actually without the fake boobs, orange tan and stripper shoes I think it's quite a nice dress.
Glad you like it OP" enjoy your evening

MikeTheShite · 20/03/2015 11:50

I have to agree there!

Glad you've found a dress you feel good in Smile

TheCowThatLaughs · 20/03/2015 11:58

if you can't wear a dress like that when you're 25, when can you? I'm sure you'll look great op Smile

MikeTheShite · 20/03/2015 11:59

Thank you ladies!
I shall probably wear it again over summer, to a wedding actually!
I'd post a picture if I knew how!

i can't see the dress through the slapper modelling

hellsbellsmelons · 20/03/2015 14:47

LOL 0x530 I think that was all of our problems to begin with.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 20/03/2015 14:57

Sorry don't like. Brassy and harsh.

OwlBeRightThere · 20/03/2015 15:05

You need to be a 6 or 8 for a dress like that. Plus it is awful!

passthewineplz · 20/03/2015 15:08

Actually if you cover the --Oompa Loompa face the dress looks ok. Although first impressions were very tacky--

MikeTheShite · 20/03/2015 15:24

Honestly now it's arrived it's totally different to the picture and looks really nice!

OP posts:
0x530x610x750x630x79 · 20/03/2015 15:36

very glad it looks nice in reality, could you give us a photo so we can see it?

MikeTheShite · 20/03/2015 15:36

I don't know how to do it I'm afraid but it actually looks nothing like that picture on me!

OP posts:
InfinitySeven · 20/03/2015 15:40

I'd been debating that...it meets the rather bizarrely strict dress code I've got for something coming up, but it looks really unforgiving. I'm a 10 and the model is an 8 so I've been avoiding it!

I'd love to see it on you too!

So glad the dress looks great on OP and well done on the weight loss. I hope to join you in that exact size jump over the course of this year!

Damn it FlabbyMummy, I may just have to get that second dress that you linked too. And I'd just decided to have a spend free month...

But it matches my HOC colours and my newly diagnosed clothing style. Waaah!

MikeTheShite · 20/03/2015 16:07

Im afraid its not the best as its a selfie, apologies for the terrible bra too!!!

OP posts:
Citybaby · 20/03/2015 16:32

You look gorgeous! It is a much nicer dress than it looked on the website, and I think that's a perfect amount of cleavage (hope that doesn't sound dodgy?!) Have a fantastic night!
