I got mine in Tesco . Also got a faux wrap dress in BHS. It is really nice and was reduced to £15!

diane von furstenburg for high glamour and cost - try net a porter online
great plains had one or two
that eejit johnnie boden has a few
then the limited m & s do them too.....

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 11/12/2006 17:11

toast have a fabulous one, but it's ££££ (i am the same size as mummydoc).

DonnerDasherDancerDior · 11/12/2006 17:15

Large norked people should steer clear of mini patterns IMO. Black is always minimising. Smaller boobs can get away with more attention being drawn to them.

hermykne · 11/12/2006 17:15

well the wrap dress will be v flattering to you both
big norks creat drama with v down front of neck and good bra and fab necklace
small norks nice push up bra and another fab decollte (sp)oh gawd how do you speel l it?>

I've looked in all the 'usual suspect' places - was just wondering (like Dior) if anyone had one that they would highly recommend ... Have seen a couple in Wallis - but not sure , its for christmas day and would like a bit of Va-va-voom ...iyswim

(( at saying va-va-voom btw))

I got a lovely one from pluma online - black with satin edging, love it and very flattering

DonnerDasherDancerDior · 11/12/2006 17:18

My BHS one is for Xmas day too. It is long and looks like a wrap, but is stitched so it doesn't flap open inappropriately (). Then, it is split all the way up the leg. It is black and cream with a fan (tiny) pattern all over it. Sounds gross, but looks lovely...

DvF gorgeous as silk but very short. Coast use same silk jersey mix and - IMO - a better cut for the more voluptuous.
Great plains and fcuk always have one or two in jersey as do Monsoon.
Can cling round the derriere so for fabulousness would strongly recommend magic pants for smooth lines for the size 14+

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 11/12/2006 17:23

Can't help with you MP, but Mummydoc - Bravissimo are doing a plain black one now (not tried mine on yet). Or I got a nice one in New Look - larger pattern (white blakc and beige), I wear it with a plain black or white vest underneath and it breaks it up a bit

mummydoc · 11/12/2006 17:27

thankyou everyone will look at toast - never heard of them and will definitely try bravissimo - love their undies but never tried the clothes before - hoxtonchick is toast really coast ??

theXmaskedposter · 11/12/2006 17:28

ok so it's not a wrap - but is it Christmas day stuff??

Phase Eight - great cut with large norks or small ones. They currently have a fab retro spottyish one in greeny tones (I bought the brown version a while back and now want the green one). Very flattering. They also have diff colours if not into green spottyishness

theXmaskedposter · 11/12/2006 17:34

ahh yes FioFio ... I just looked on the toast website and had a little gol (gasp out loud) at the prices ....
