I'm a yay but I'm 5'9 and size 14. I just like them.

Get a style that you are comfortable in and that suits you. Check side and rear view.

ASqueakingInTheShrubbery · 17/05/2018 19:12

Not at all if you're over 18 months old.

AvonCallingBarksdale · 17/05/2018 19:13

ASqueaking really?? I believe they are all the rage this season Confused

Yaaaaay!

Ohcomeonn · 17/05/2018 19:15

If you're an instamum then yay. If not, it depends on the style/cut

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 17/05/2018 19:17

Yes weirdly! I tried a few and they looked bad. Then I tried one in Primark and came out of the changing room saying “I’m not sure if this is brilliant or terrible!!” DD replied “oh mummy you look beautiful!” and I’ve barely taken it off since Grin

If you get one that fits right in a good fabric you might be surprised!

It’s basically just a maxi dress and I know they divide opinion on here, but as someone large of nork, with less-than-lovely legs I think they’re great.

Juanitajune · 17/05/2018 19:29

As long as they don't button awkwardly up the back then yes. The one I have looks great but I can't drink much when wearing it as it's such a pain to get off for the loo.

Make sure you try sitting down in it before you buy. Some can give you wedgies.

Ellapaella · 17/05/2018 19:37

They can look nice if you get the right cut/shape/length that suits you. Personally I would look terrible in one of the cropped ones but I have seen some people looking really nice in them. Think it's just about finding the right style for you.

Branleuse · 17/05/2018 19:38

They look awful on me. Never found one that doesn't make my thighs and arse look huge

WeShouldOpenABar · 17/05/2018 19:38

Pain in the arse to wee in, I am large boobed and they always looked well on me but got sick of having to get naked in pub bathrooms to have a wee

Pompom42 · 17/05/2018 19:45

I like them I'm a size 12 and 5ft 3 with large boobs. There is a page on Facebook I'm on 'can u breastfeed in it' and everyone on there going crazy for a jumpsuit from Sainsburys with pineapples on, apparently really flattering on. Think a lot depends on material and cut etc

Is the jumpsuit pic you posted, from Primark.. it's lovely

Shampaincharly · 17/05/2018 19:46

Nightmare to go to the loo in!

Heratnumber7 · 17/05/2018 19:54

I'd say Nay unless you have a bladder of steel

AvonCallingBarksdale · 17/05/2018 19:55

Well definitely not a bladder of steel for sure Grin

I am 5ft 2 size 12 and I like the odd one. Shop around and get one that looks good on you.

boomboom12 · 17/05/2018 20:10

Love them, Warehouse have a good selection of shapes. I tend to go for ones a little looser on the bottom half as otherwise they can elongate your butt.

MeganChips · 17/05/2018 20:13

I love them. I’m 5’4 and a size 12 and have liked most of the ones I have tried on. I have 4.

I feel far dumpier in dresses usually.

imnottoofussed · 17/05/2018 20:17

That primark one is gorgeous, I didn't see them in my local primark at the weekend so will have to do another look round this weekend

Baubletrouble43 · 17/05/2018 21:09

I'm 5'3 and a booby size 12 and have just bought one and it's fab. Drapy and cropped with a fitted waist and frilly neckline

amymel2016 · 17/05/2018 21:13

I'm 5'5 and a size 20 and I love them, if you find one you like then go for it!
