oh god, I'm short and curvy and have unwittingly bought a 'volume' dress

[oranges]

I was so thrilled to find a size 12 dress that fitted, that I just bought it. Its dark blue chiffon, with lots of little pleats. I got it home, wondered why it made my already big hips look huge, and realised its one of those 'tulip' things. But I love the colour and fabric. Will it look awful?

this but in blue

Post a photo of yourself in it.

i woudlnt wear it and i have hips that are equatorial

Yes, but if you've got smooth, curvy hips and a teeny waist it could look quite Marilynesque.

what are equatorial hips? i have a waist, but its not teeeny

its also bit slinkier than the one in the link. no ruffles.

It makes her hips look curveous and she probably a size 6, step away sorry

The one in the link is hideous IMO.

if i wore one of those i would look like an oompah loompah. they are all wrong

I quite like it Would look nice in the summer ~ but then i'm not overly stylish

i just tried it on again with heels and it isn't that bad. is it? (thanks quootie)
