Bare facts. I'm 44. 5ft 0. Recently lost a stone following a long term injury clearing up and being able to exercise again. Changed shape quite a bit. I'm 7st7lbs. I've always been pretty petite. Am small boned.

I'm struggling to dress to my new shape. I have no boobs and am a bit skinny on the chest.

It's for Christmas.

I don't mind if you don't like it or can find alternatives. I've searched Next, JL, M&S, House of Fraser etc.

I've no particular budget in mind. So happy to spend more if needed.

If its for christmas day you might need something either over it or under it to keep your arms warm. Apart from that, it's lovely.

Not my cup of tea but it's a nice dress and if you like it, it does seem nice for your shape (I'm a similar shape). Do you like it?

I like it and it looks like it would suit your shape, although sleeveless would be too cold for me at Christmas!

It is an absolutely lovely dress, and from your description sounds like it will suit you well.

My only slight reservation is that it doesn't really say Christmas to me, but that is coming from a woman who dressed as a Christmas pudding last year! Xmas Grin.

Thanks all for the comments, which I feel are mainly positive.

I'm not too fussed about it being non-Christmasy, I'm at the age where I like to get multi-use from my clothes.

I think also it will be used for mainly gatherings in houses, certainly in my own I will whack the heating up. smile

I've ordered, I'll have to see what it's like on.

Thank you again guys.
