I may have found my summer dress

Here
Not seen irl yet but love the print.

Opinions?

You and nearly everybody else on here, by the sound of it! I haven't succumbed to them, but I have v narrow feet (most of them ARE bloody ugly too, to be frank, but I might have been tempted by a less offensive pair, if they weren't far too wide).

I get what you mean. My body is not built for fashion. I'm a sort of old fashioned v hourglass shape and all boobs
I can't wear high necks or polo necks, or anything that sort of that drapey "I just threw some fabric around me" style
Can't do anything that a bra won't fit under either

I really like that dress, and have a number of pinafores which I wear with blouses underneath, or stripy tops. I'm 43.

Oh, and I always wear flat shoes - usually Chelsea boots or brogues in winter.

I love that dress. Good length

OP, so you don't like the phrases frumpy or mumsy, but then use the phrase "v teenage"? Isn't that reverse discrimination?

If you say so.

Another narrow footed one here! Love that dress, would wear a denim jacket with it, and probably trainers.

That's a shame re the fabric. Anyway, will go and check it out as I do love the print. If it's no good, I'll go back to the drawing board yet again!

I liked the look of this too, but couldn't see it in store when I looked last week.

Pretty sure grazia have 25% off warehouse this week. (Saw it on here not in the magazine)

I like the warehouse dress, even with the pockets, although I think it might be a tad too long on my short frame. I am sick of all the thin straps about, I need to be able to wear a substaintial bra these days.

Yes to a substantial bra! :)

The Boden one looks v Orla K. I love yellow but can only really wear it in skirt-form.

I have the oasis one! Also got the skirt, it's lovely but if you are large of boob you may need to go up a size

Thanks, Penguin.

Prints aren't normally my thing but Oasis have some really nice ones.

I like the dress a lot!

Will you report back how it hangs on you?

I seem to have started a discussion

I rarely come on S&B so I can say that it's the first time the f word has passed my lips on here

I like the Oasis one and might suit the bigger of boob amongst us

But maybe a bit short?

And knowing Oasis, it isn't cotton

Murder if you are having hot flushes (me)

Please don't run away, it's a good discussion. I think it's a shame we don't have it more often.

I know what you mean about growing boobs. Bizarre experience.

I don't wear above the knee any more but if the model's 6' as they often are, the Oasis dress wouldn't be that short on a lot of people.

Its 97% cotton but .... lining is polyester. Cheers for that, Oasis.

Flo

Thanks.

The boob thing is hard to adjust to

I have always seen myself as small-breasted, but they have slowly increased in size, which is not unwelcome, except that clothes do look different and I've had to adjust accordingly.

I only realised I was a D cup, not a B as I thought when I tried on a bra in M&S which was on the wrong hanger!

Same here, Narp. I'd been flat chested all my life - and happy with it - till the menopause.

I didn't even notice it was happening at first. All I knew was that none of my clothes looked right any more. It took a very good friend to point it out. I was wearing a 32B and Bravissimo put me in 28F

I had to completely relearn how to dress. And I'm sure my body hasn't stopped changing so there'll be more to come
