Sorry, i dont like the dipped hem look.

Buzzardbird · 30/05/2016 19:19

I love it chose, do you have good arms?

RosesandRugbyPlease · 30/05/2016 19:19

It's lovely. When's your wedding? If it's autumn or winter you may feel a little cold but if summer then it's perfect.

Coldtoeswarmheart · 30/05/2016 19:19

I like it Smile

Justmuddlingalong · 30/05/2016 19:19

I think it's beautiful. Size, age and occasion appropriate. Flowers Congratulations.

I think it's gorgeous and sounds perfect for what you're going for. I had a very similar dress from little mistress for my bridesmaid dresses when I got married a few weeks ago (but in navy) and they got loads of compliments and my bridesmaids said they were so comfy to wear, and fitted lovely.

I think if you have boobs this dress might look better on you than the model. It seems like the sort of dress that you need to 'provide' the shape for - rather than the dress shaping you (if that makes sense?)

Papergirl1968 · 30/05/2016 19:20

I think that dress in rogan's link above is lovely!

Cocolepew · 30/05/2016 19:22

Its lovely Smile

DerelictMyBalls · 30/05/2016 19:23

It's lovely. I hope you have a wonderful day.

ManonLescaut · 30/05/2016 19:23

I think it's very good value.

I think the back may not be very flattering in a 14 as it's basically tight & strappy - have you checked out the back in the mirror?

expatinscotland · 30/05/2016 19:24

I love it!

BeautifulMaudOHara · 30/05/2016 19:27

It's beautiful, go for it!

SouthWestmom · 30/05/2016 19:27

Op that is a fantastic dress. I love clothes and would normally avoid any kind of asymmetrical hem but that is absolutely fab.

IamAporcupine · 30/05/2016 19:30

I love it too

Oh wow Blush i am feeling relieved. My arms aren't uber toned but as a swimmer they're not too bad and i will keep working on them. There is no back bulges and have had photos done to check... i have had it a month or so and do love it but as the date gets closer i have had a few jitters. One i nearly bought was more 'conservative' but as i am quite booby a higher neck didn't look good.

In that case , it sounds perfect! It's beautiful and you are going to be comfortable in it and have a lovely day. Congratulations.

AnyFucker · 30/05/2016 19:45

I was ready to hate a dress from "little mistress.com" but I like that.

Buzzardbird · 30/05/2016 19:49

Hah! AF, I always want to hate them too, it's just an unfortunate choice of name.

pleasethankyouthankyouplease · 30/05/2016 19:49

Like it ! Relax and have a great time!

Gardenbirds123 · 30/05/2016 19:50

Really like it.
Not normally the sort of thing I'd like either but this just works! Lovely! Congrats

AnyFucker · 30/05/2016 19:51

Have never heard of the company before, BB

PunkrockerGirl · 30/05/2016 19:52

I think it's lovely.
