Link to old thread :)

I think I expected it to be longer?

It’s a gorgeous colour and you suit everything I’ve seen you in. Having said that, I think it looks a bit big on the bust, and not really worth the money if you have any doubts about it.

I read a review and someone was moaning about the length.

Not sure its worth the money either.. might iron it later and try it again.

It is comfy to wear though!

I thought it looked big on the bust as well.

What size is it Dave?
It looks lovely on you as you have a great figure. It is quite plain but sometimes that's the beauty of a garment, a stunning colour with simple lines.
I would personally keep that dress - but for me it would be something to wear out in the evening (think hot holiday evenings sitting in a bar sipping cocktails) with delicate silver sandals and a silver pendant and silver earrings.
Could you post another pic after you've ironed? I'm wondering if you could size down actually.

It looks a lot longer in the sideways picture!

It looks very comfy! But honestly? I saw a lovely leopard print sundress in Tesco. It was really pretty and although I didn't look at the price, no way was it £69!

Thanks cherries. I am tiny up top ( 34A from last being measured!), which has its benefits in that I do go bra-less oftern, but other clothes just hang off me and look crap!

It's an 8 ella. Honestly their sizing is nuts!

I was thinking of it for our holiday to Menorca in August.. it is expensive though isn't it?

Have you done the mumsnet way of measuring? There is no way you are a 34!

I reckon you will be around a 28! with a larger cup size.
It will be lovely on holiday but the price is ridiculous really.

What's the MN method of measuring??

I had myself measured a few years back as my boobs expanded rapidly when I had my kids, and then shrunk back to virtually nothing!

I have lost about a stone and a half over the past couple of tears too, and it definitely comes straight iff my bust!

The patterned one looked so lovely in Laska!

Dave - try this:

Sounds like you are measuring the old way.

I was so uncomfortable in my bra and really couldn't work out my size. I came on mumsnet and found that the way I was measuring myself was outdated and none of my bras were right. Bravissimo measure this way.

M&S measure you wrongly using the old system [according to mumsnet gurus of bra measuring - er not me!!!]

You get the proper support of your bra fitting better with this method - seemingly. But honestly, I am a 32E or F and tbh my bra fits me way better this way.

In the old way I was coming up a 34 or 36 A or B putting most of the pressure of the bra on the straps instead of the band size.

..and the cup size never seemed right.

Thanks never. I'll have a look in a bit.. in the middle of a ton of work at the moment! Maybe I am a smaller bra size... hardly worth wearing one!

Yes, M&S tried to put my DD in a 34A. She’s a size 8. I packed her off to Bravissimo and she came out wearing a 30E - and looked amazing in it.

No, you will be a smaller back size - like a 28 C or something like that. Your cup size will increase :)

I've seen that leopard print sundress in Tesco too! It's very nice. Dave I think it comes down to how much wear you will get out of it. If you'll only wear it a few times and don't absolutely love it send it back. I'd try a 6 though to see if it hangs better.

The problem is that most manufacturers of bras do it the old way which means it is harder to find a bra in that size. I cannot just walk into a supermarket and buy one in a 32E as most don't stock a 32 in such a large cup :( Its annoying! I need to order mine online.

Ha ha Ella that's so funny. I really am considering getting it. It isn't online though or I just cant see it on the f&f website.
