Has anyone seen this Phase Eight dress in store?

navy dress

I really like it but wonder if it looks a bit shapeless in real life.

Thanks

I tried it on an didn't like it. I'm a size 8 but disproportionately large around the bust and it made me look at least four dress sizes bigger by hanging straight down from my chest. If you're a more sensible shape it might look nice.

I'm rather larger than an 8 and have a big chest so don't think I could cope with added dress sizes Grin Thanks.

I've seen a green silk one in the same range but I just know that one would make me look huge.

I'm 5ft 9in and size 12 and it made me look like I was wearing a marquee Sad

I loved it though. Grrrr.

I know the green one too and I so wish I could wear that type of thing. Love them on other people!

Lots of pretty jersey dresses for work are talking to me though... love a phase 8 sale.

I had a phase eight to in the same fabric. It washed disastrously badly.

I bought this type of dress from phase eight last summer. Identical but for the layering on the bottom. It comes up big. I bought an 8, and I am a 10 in phase eight. I have no boobs, but it makes me look as if I do. I am also 5 foot 1 inch tall, and it came to just above my knee slightly.

Thanks everyone. All evidence points to it being a bad choice for me. I sort of knew that anyway but just needed confirmation.
