I wouldn't wear it - the last wedding I went to I wore a dress by toast but they oly go up to size 14

i like the boden hotchpotch teadress personally

Sorry but I was in M&S & walked through the Per Una range with my 53yr old Aunt & she said "Who the hell wears this stuff?"

Per Una is very middle class, stepford wives'y imo.

By the way I'm not disputing that at size 20 you have limited choice, but there are much more options now for plus size Women.

ScottishThistle · 13/03/2007 15:25

I would come up with ideas but I can't do links, so kind of pointless really!

How about this? also seen here or something like this?

nailpolish · 13/03/2007 15:31

this is nice

TeeCee · 13/03/2007 15:35

How about any of these? or this?

bundle · 13/03/2007 15:45

monsoon have some nice things in, and I think they go up to an 18 and their sizes are quite generous

BizzyDint · 13/03/2007 15:56

this goes up to a 20 and i think it's nicer than the op dress, simpler, nicer for a larger size IYSWIM, bit nice detail round the neckline, easy to accessorise.

nailpolish · 13/03/2007 15:57

that is nice

Beetrootccio · 13/03/2007 15:58

ScottishThistle · 13/03/2007 16:45

Don't like the lacey top number!

However seen as I can't do links I can't really have a say!

Beetrootccio · 13/03/2007 16:46

no sT - you had better go learn - it is so very very simple! they show you how to at the side ------>

nailpolish · 13/03/2007 16:48

doing links is dead easy

why cant you do them?

ScottishThistle · 13/03/2007 16:49

Where do they tell you how, could you explain it very simply (as if I was 6yrs old?)
