Laska that looks really good tucked in! 👍

SoyYo · 30/05/2019 18:03

It’s a great combo @laska! At first I thought it was a dress so perfect colour match!

SoyYo · 30/05/2019 18:06

Yeay success @soups! Glad DD found good things to keep her (and you) happy!

So I’m about to go to Pilates so forgive the leopard leggings and the long vest underneath but I’m already dressed to go...you asked after the Jigsaw silk top which really is more like a sweat and I’ve thrown it over my Pilates gear but in RL I’d wear with pale blue jeans or navy trousers (work) it’s very comfy and needs an iron as it came a bit wrinkly but I love the colour and silky softness

And because I don’t care anymore 💪 here’s a pic of the Jigsaw dress beautiful but I look like Matron in it.
It’s okay I’m over it now so you can laugh with me Grin
Compare it to another dress I bought from Ghost last SS and it was comparing the photos that really made me realise how bad the Jigsaw is on me Wink you see the boobs and not a lot else coming at ya Grin
Tbh I always always struggle with dresses but I am forever hopeful the next purchase will be “the one”...
As @never said more £ for espadrilles in Spain once I’m refunded!

You know soy I think that dress looks fine on you , ( you are being over critical on yourself) perhaps all it needs is a different bra to make you feel better about it. But really it's fine, and s lovely pattern and colour

SoyYo · 30/05/2019 18:18

Aw thanks Laska I’m wearing my trusty Gossard glossy bra underneath...I know what you mean but seriously? I doubt a different bra can perform such miracles...also where the wrap is ignores my true waist so I look completely shapeless.
Nah Back it goes!

SoyYo · 30/05/2019 18:20

Oh yes and I had to “pin” the bit across the chest because it was so low it was indecent.
Perfect dress for flat chested girls though and the silk fabric is divine

twosoups1972 · 30/05/2019 18:30

@Soy I was not expecting that from what you said. I like the Jigsaw dress on you and don’t think it makes you look too booby. The frill at the bottom balances it.

twosoups1972 · 30/05/2019 18:31

And the blue top is really lovely!

SoyYo · 30/05/2019 18:40

You’re too kind @soups.
It’s very comfortable and it looks better from the back! 😬
I may just show it to DH then but he loves my boobs Blush so anything that shows them off ahem he’s bound to like and tbh I think I’d feel too self conscious...

SoyYo · 30/05/2019 18:41

Yeay the blue top is fab and was a bargain, I think it’s old winter stock but it’s so light it’s an all season top for GB climate 👍

Laska2Meryls · 30/05/2019 18:42

I like It, very Spanish/ flamenco looking soySmile

Huffthepuff · 30/05/2019 18:45

Oh I wasn't expecting that! It looks gorgeous on you Soy!

SoyYo · 30/05/2019 18:45

I’m sitting here in my car as I’ve gone to a nearby village for my Pilates class (same instructor but this weeks local class was cancelled) and wasn’t sure if I’d find the hall easily (I did!) so that’s why I’m rabbitting...best go in soon and work that Tum!

SoyYo · 30/05/2019 18:47

OMG are you serious? Okay maybe I was having a “down on Soy” day...off to my class now I will try with a different bra and ask DH before returning then Hmm
It was already packed to go back but bag not sealed yet...

neveradullmoment99 · 30/05/2019 19:00

The dress is gorgeous on you!!!! The print is beautiful and it fits you beautifully. No idea why you dont like it on you. Honestly, its lovely.

Ellapaella · 30/05/2019 19:16

@SoyYo I agree the jigsaw dress is lovely - really suits you. I'm not a dress person either, like you I struggle to find ones I really feel happy in. I think that looks lovely and such summery colours! Also love the blue silky top - looks lovely. Actually think you are rocking the casual chic with leggings Pilate vibe!

@Laska2Meryls I love the skirt and top together

neveradullmoment99 · 30/05/2019 19:51

Sorry @Laska, didnt see your pictures. Yes, love the top and skirt.

Laska2Meryls · 30/05/2019 20:40

Keep It Soy, and Also this jigsaw dress (same kind of shape), would look really Fab on you !!

Laska2Meryls · 30/05/2019 20:44

I really like this bargain jigsaw jumpsuit also sadly not in my size ,but perhaps for Ella Huff or Len* and anyone else here who is an 8/10 (cannot remember what sizes you all take)

Ninkaninus · 30/05/2019 20:53

Oh Laska I missed out on that jumpsuit in their Jan sales because I dithered too long over it. 😭

Ninkaninus · 30/05/2019 21:06

Also Soy you should keep that gorgeous dress.

SoyYo · 30/05/2019 21:09

Just catching up after being very very good at Pilates. DH (hobby boy) has a mate round from one of his many clubs and reading again all the old and new lovely comments I’m so pleased I showed you.
I know you wouldn’t be so complimentary if you really thought it was a bit meh on me and it goes to show others see in you what you don’t see in yourself. Thank You!

Litmus test will be showing it to DH once mate goes and if he gives the Jigsaw the 👍 I’m keeping Wink
When I took it out of the box I was wowed by the fabric. Silk as light as a feather, and it fits really well (well except that I need a modesty clip round chest or a very deep plunge bra) and on the mirror it looked fine but then when I saw myself on the photo I was Sad😢
Okay back later with his verdict.

And @laska beautiful dress! But if I keep this one not buying any more!Wink

Laska2Meryls · 30/05/2019 21:12

You just have to ry the black one also Soy. It is so you.. You really must try it.. (look, ill be dead cross if you dont..Ok?)
