Ok, I love Cos, I have a lot of good basics from there, bought both online and in store and I'm usually always happy (apart from one jumper with a too tight neck;)

I really want this dress for summer
www.cosstores.com/gb/Women/Dresses/Wrap-over_cotton_dress/46881-67532517.1#c-24479#Rel?PC=

But!
I am 5'5, very slim, not much boobage. I do have same hair as model and the blue colour really suits my skin tone.
I am afraid the belt area will look ginormous on me as I am not 6' tall. What do you think?

I love the blue version here but the green version on the other model looks like it swamps her uncomfortably, like hospital scrubs.

It isn't in my local store so would have to try online.

I just don't want the belt area (esp back view) to look so bunched and huge.
What you think ladies?

Pic if you don't wish to click link (but can't add a pic of back view so please see website instead!)

I am all in favour of Cos and its Soviet Dental Nurse look, but those dresses are not well cut. You can see that the blue one pulls on the shoulders and gapes around the neck, while the green one won't hang across the stomach if you have your hands in your pockets. Wrap dresses in woven fabrics have to be very carefully cut so the fabric lies against your body - which is why they're mostly made in jersey. And a crisp fabric like that is doubly bad as it will tend to bunch up rather than drape when you belt it.
