Jolie Moi - am I kidding myself?

I've recently discovered that I don't look half bad in (some) dresses. These tend to be floaty, smock style dresses. However I've fallen in love with this...but not sure if I'm kidding myself. My clothes range from 16-20. This dress goes to a 20 but I have a niggling feeling that this style/brand really won't work anyone who isn't tall and very slim. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I like that the dress has a defined waist, so I dont see wht it shouldn't work for you. It's also got a v-neck so shouldn't make a wearer look too boxy up top. I'm a 16 with a flabby midriff and I'd certainly consider trying it. I think it is fabulous.
Why not give it a go? You might be pleasantly surprised. You can always send it back if you're not keen.

I have loads of Jolie moi dresses and I’m shaped like a potato. I find they’re very flattering.

Me too. It's lovely. Try it before it sells out to us all!
The shirt top, shorter sleeves and defined waist look promising for all shapes and sizes.

I'm am 18 and shirt dresses with waists are THE most flattering style on me. Give it a try! I see no reason why it should automatically look awful on you

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I've ordered it - will update Grin

Definitely worth trying on.

I think I am too busty for them. There is another range on QVC that is also lovely but for the small of norkage.

It will make you look huge with such a gathered skirt
