I'm going to wear this today. I think model is wearing it the wrong way round.

I bought this dress yesterday

www.dorothyperkins.com/en/dpuk/product/sale-offers-3422804/view-all-sale-4527816/dresses-203689/floral-bow-back-dress-4335748?bi=20&ps=20

I hope you can see the back in the photo. The dress is deep coral/ floral. It has a bow at the back but surprisingly it has a fake wrap over effect / v neck.

I've never seen that on the back of a dress before. It's stretch jersey and fits either way.

I'm proposing to wear bow to front. What do you think?

Flipping heck. Bugger the fact that it's back to front, she's found a nice, nay lovely dress from Per Una Speziale! It's a sign of the Apocalypse.

I sort of wore my wedding dress back to front, because I picked up the sample dress in the shop and held it up in front of me and the assistant said "no it's the other way round" so I asked them specifically to make mine up with the neckline the other way around, so the bust darts were in the right place.

Ok.
The Dorothy Perkins dress needs the bow at the back.
Mummy's dress is clearly back to front. It doesn't fit right in either photo.
I had no idea wearing clothes the wrong way round was a "thing", but I guess there's nothing wrong with it!

Also,mummy - if the buttons are gaping, did you not consider buying the next size up rather than just wearing it back to front?

There's no shame in having to buy bigger sizes in some shops - in my wardrobe I've got everything from size 6 Gap trousers to a size L Zara blazer, and an array of everything in between. Its about what fits, not the label.

There are no large boobs in those photos Googlers Confused

How does she do it? If I wore that per una dress I'd look like Hyacinthe Bucket.

On closer inspection, there's space for a bum across her tummy. It's doesn't fit well backwards.

Hmm, space for a bum across the tummy........this idea could have merit!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 08/08/2015 11:24

Surely the seams get pulled out of alignment too?

I know triptrap it does look like she has small boobs but she often talks about her largish boobs on the blog and how she hates them and wears a sports bra to squash and flatten them. Sometimes on certain pics you can see she has an ample chest
