yeh sorry forgot to check that

BudaBauble · 11/12/2006 17:47

I want one too but am size 22. Bad idea??

Am 5ft 7in. Good legs for my size apparently. Most weight around middle. Norkage? Recently went from a B to an E cup just by visiting Rigby and Peller!!!!

toast stuff is nearly always reduced by 70% in the sale, but i saw the wrap dress in selfridges and thought the material was a bit itchy and over-warm.

phase eight is a good idea, also fenn wright and manson.

may look nice in the black version

VeniVidiVickiQV · 11/12/2006 17:50

buda......check out monsoon.....

JackieNoHoHo · 11/12/2006 17:51

This is the one from Plumo that Elliot mentioned below. Looks very nice, but not cheap.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 11/12/2006 17:52

this looks good, but might cling in inappropriate places. Would need good underwear.

JackieNoHoHo · 11/12/2006 17:57

It's a lot of money - and only dry cleanable too. The monsoon one is machine washable (or is it only me who can't be bothered to take things to the dry cleaners, so never buys anything that needs it?)

If you don't mind showing your arms, there's this , which is a gorgeous colour.

Question .. What is their sizing like - generous, or stingey like H&M??

I've got one from French Connection (it isn't on the fcuk website) - I think it is very nice.

I do like that Plumo one

DonnerDasherDancerDior · 11/12/2006 19:10

I find Wallis generous.
