I'm thinking of buying something similar to this

has anyone got this style of dress as whistles do them every season, I'm a size14/16 so wanted to know if it would be flattering or just horrible.

I have a couple. I find them very flattering.

Also wouldn’t pay full price. They ALWAYS go in the sale.

I've put on a lot of weight recently, but previous me owned and loved one. As verite said, wait for a sale or look at eBay, I got mine there BNwT

Thanks peeps, my friend said it might look grannyish but I think I could pull it off but need to feel like it's flattering before getting it online!

what comfy shoes would one wear with them? I'm not great with too high heels, love those v front heels or maybe ankle boots, would those work?

I really like them but hate the way they all seem to have the full length zip up the back. I wish they'd make some without the zip feature.

I have one which is super super flattering and have also tried on quite a number of slightly different whistles bodycon styles. I find that the ones with ruching at side/waist dont suit me as well as the cross- over waist. I'm glad they are now doing them with longer sleeves and hemline too. I tried a few shorter styles and they rode up and looked awful. I wish they would do a few with a lower or v neckline
