I’m a size 10 hourglass and not as tall as the model so on me it’s only just above the knee
I could wear it with black or gold heels

I love it, it's flattering for pretty much every shape, but I find it too expensive for what it is

I bought it for £50 in tkmaxx just can’t decide whether to keep it or not

Oh you got a bargain. What does it look like on ?

I think it’s very flattering - in bath so can’t take a picture at moment
I’ve got black suede high heeled pointy toes with some diamanté or a pair of gold similar style lk Bennett shoes

Which one? The links only take me to search results? They all look gorgeous but I'm nosy!

Well if it is very flattering, keep it .
I would wear black shoes.

Lovely keep it

I'd like to see it on too!

This is without control pants I’m also hoping to lose a few pounds before Xmas
I’ve put on half a stone mainly due to recent personal circumstances

Which shoes to wear if I keep it?

No idea why they turned wrong way!

I like it with the gold shoes but not sure I like the dress, the ruffles on the waist/stomach area seem to sit funny.

I like the black ones with the diamanté strap .

I like the gold shoes too.

I'm also not keen on the dress tbh... is it a funny fit over the tummy?

I also think you look as if you'd suit a more exciting colour. Obviously we can't see your face though, so obviously could be wrong.

I think you have a good figure though and think you could do better than that dress, even for £50.

FWIW, I like the black shoes best with it, but I'm not mad on the dress.

Thank you for comments if I’m asking on here probably means it should go back!
DD thinks it looks better than in picture but probably trying to make me feel better!
I’ve got exact same dress (style) in a floral print on a navy background n always feel fab in it but think this version emphasises my mum tum too much

You lot have talked me into returning the dress!
I also bought a pair of Paul Smith boots in black suede with smattering of gold
Nice or naff?

I quite like the boots.

That style of dress would usually be flattering and something I would wear to hide my mum tum but that one just seems to sit in the wrong position.

Could you size up op? It might be one of those dresses where one colour comes up smaller than other colours even in the same size iyswim. I've definitely had that before. The risk with that would be that it then might not fit round the arms...

Hate the boots .

I will look for next size up but at end of day it’s a black dress and there will be others!
Tried the boots with opaques and sweater dress - awful
With black skinnies they are more awesome!!!
