**BIG NORKERS** Report back on the Warehouse dress (NDP)

[NomDePlume]

It arrived this morning. I've tried it on and it looks fab. The neck hole is a wide enough slash to balances out the high neckline. It is purple, it looked inky blue on my laptop screen, in fact it is like the colour of the Cadbury's choccie wrappers. The silk is really delicate but the fit isn't skin tight so the lumps and bumps are flowed over rather than clung to.

All I have to do now is find the shoes....

Thanks btw to Jackie who pointed out loads of shoes on my other thread. Having seen the dress in the flesh none of those linked to were quite right

(sorry about typos, am doing this quickly so I can get out to lunch)

Oh good - glad it works. It is lovely. So what sort of shoes do you think? You said high, spiky heels, I think?

Yes, the dress is v demure so I can get away with sexy shoes

What colour? Black? Silver? Strappy? Courts? Enough questions??

go i k love it
may have to go and look
i tried on theri glittery gold tunic anf ootless tights and the whoel of south wilthsire collapsed in hysterics

Not sure about black really with the colour of the dress. But feel free to link to some if you find fab ones .

Metallics are good, would prefer silver to gold tones.

I'm more comfortable in court syle stilettos but strappy wouldn't be a prob (so long as they aren't too strappy - you know the ones, 2 bootlaces at the toes and one around the ankle/top of the foot).

bronze

nailey had some for a purples dress

Cod it really is gorgeous. Much more subtle and sexy and much less fashion-victimmy than the stripey number with footless tights

god god gdo
i have mno reason to wear it
what sieze did you get

Bronze is a good compromise. My worry is that metallic shoes look cheap, but bronze is subtle enough not to, I think

a 12 and it was quite generously cut. I could prob have got away with a 10 (am 5'7", 32E/F, about 10 stone)

naiel y cna flog you hers!

(am usually a 12, somtimes a big 12/ small 14)

she is a size 3 or something ridiculous ! I am a 5.5

i like t thoing i am the same as oytu but bet i am tippign 11 these days

Those are nice actually Cod.

next shoes alwasy good imo

A bit worried about ankle straps though. I think ankle straps can make even the most dainty ankle look like a cankle

sold out anwaywy

I have reasonably good ankles but ankle strap shoes imo only look good on those with very fragile ankles. Plus the dress is on the knee length so will the ankle strap make my legs look shorter ?

yes prob

did i tell you abou the fab ones i got for finbar in marks?
oh yes!

yup.

I mean no
