What do you think of this dress?

[MikeTheShite]

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

Thank you City, that means a lot especially as I had to do the dreaded selfie!

Really like the Asos blue dress.

The dress in the OP looks grim enough on the model, on a size 14 it would be disastrous.

Sorry, I skipped a page.

OP - honestly, it's not flattering. I'm sure you're really attractive but the dress emphasises your tummy.

Okay thanks twinkle

Mike if you like it and feel comfortable and confident that's the main thing! Spanx are always a good idea (everyone forgets I hold their tummy in after a while!) and a good bra

Photo is much better than a dress of that price and quality should!

Have a great night out

I think it looks nice. Op's "tummy" looks fine to me

I knew I was never going to look like a catwalk model in it by

It looks good. Your waist is nipped in. Can you stand side on and check yum and bum?

Yum = tum

I think you look much smaller than a 14 in that dress. If you feel great in it then you need to keep it. Hope you have a great night ;)

I'm a 10 and I wouldn't look as good as you in the dress op. It's all about shape, rather than size (to an extent) and you just look lovely and curvaceous to me. I think the angle of the selfie is slightly unflattering though, but I can see that that's just the positioning. Can you take another picture? Maybe a straight mirror shot?.....just so I can be proven right!

Ah unfortunately I'm on the app tonight so I can't post a picture, I'm sure it will look better with spanx!
Thank you everyone

I think you look fab in it.

It looks lots nicer not slappered up :)

I think you look fab, even at that awkward angle. I've got this in black. It's so flattering, classy, great quality & really smooths all my lumps & bumps. An ideal notice me dress. But then again I'm mud 30's not 20's!! www.tedbaker.com/uk/Womens/Clothing/Dresses/ELENNA-Embellished-midi-dress-Mid-Pink/p/120025-53-MID-PINK

mike have you looked at hybrid dresses? they are a similar style but a bit more classy yet still show off your assets?

amy childs is also worth a look, has some massively tacky stuff but the odd nice piece.

well done on the weight loss bet you look fantastic!

Thank you I shall have a look at everything suggested

It looks loads loads better on OP, than the --tangoed-- model.

M&S so some great control tights in nude, and with descent underwear you'll look fab!

Just realised was a pic so logged on for a nosey, colours are much better in real life and looks like it shows off your weightloss! What colour is your hair?

I really like that dress, I think it'd suit your figure (and height) well with nude heels it'd be really nice. I agree the website hasn't styled it well with the orange models, haha! (Sorry models - maybe it's the lighting/make-up as well).

Yeah what is your colouring? You could wear nude shoes & a jacket & nice jewellery. You should totally go for it, I look back now & think I wish I wasn't so hung up on my body when I was younger & made the most of it.

Linking to a dress that is over £150 when the OP linked to a dress that is less than £21.95 seems a bit....pointless!

I looked on hybrid all a bit boring tbh so went to my usual go to, asos as well and saw this m.asos.com/mt/www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Pencil-Dress-With-V-Neck-And-Metal-Belt/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4697516&cid=8799&Rf981=3679&sh=0&pge=5&pgesize=50&sort=1&clr=Black&totalstyles=873&gridsize=3&un_jtt_v_frompage=5

Dont know if your still looking or if black is a bit boring

The dress looks lovely that you have ordered though and you are only 25. If you love it and feel good i say go for it. I was a size 16 (pregnant now, god help me after this) and those bar the straps as i hate my arms were the style of dress i favoured and always thought i pulled them off (hope haha)

I only looked at the pic of the first dress, not the price. My bad. Although, OP didn't say she had a budget & did say she had a wedding coming up later in the year.

Oh sorry I'm in a funny mood. I don't know why I posted that. Apologies.
