Hi,

I have had some online shopping delivered today, was wondering if anyone would help me and let me know what you think?

Everything has cost me £100 so was really cheap in the sales (a couple of the tops I have paired with are old)

I'll post the pics below.

Thanks!

I like the two red dresses, assuming they suit your colouring. I really do not like the peach pleated dress, it looks cheap and nasty. The green dress is doing nothing for your figure. And I really don’t like the yellow top/skirt, for reasons same as pp above.

Man much better than husbands for this sort of thing!

Summerfalls · 02/06/2020 14:13

One, two and 6 look great on you, also the trousers. Not too keen on the rest.

ForeverRedSkinhead · 02/06/2020 14:13

The first dress looks great , as does the last dress. I also like the wide leg trousers.

The other outfits don't suit you as well , there's something not quite right about the fit.

Prettybubblesintheair · 02/06/2020 14:14

The green smock dress doesn’t do anything for you, sorry. Neither does the neon dress or yellow top and skirt. All the others you look lovely in!

PegasusReturns · 02/06/2020 14:17

The 2 red dresses are lovely and the snake print skirt is ok. The denim scallop edge skirt and yellow top are both awful. If that top is one of your existing ones, get rid. Orange pleated outfit is just ok. I wouldn’t keep anything else

Exactly this

MoominKitty · 02/06/2020 14:18

3,4 and 5 do not do you justice at all very shapeless and unflattering.

The trousers are great and 1,2 and 6 are okay too.

ohtheholidays · 02/06/2020 14:19

They're all gorgeous and you look amazing in the yellow top and jean skirt,not many people can carry that colour of so your very lucky.

You've picked clothes that really compliment your curves and I'm amazed that only cost you £100.

yellowbluebell · 02/06/2020 14:22

All look amazing apart from the orange pleated dress and the green one next to it as I think they don't flatter you as much as the others. The red dresses are beautiful

peachgreen · 02/06/2020 14:22

They're all nice (apart from the yellow top and horrible scalloped skirt, sorry!) but the last red floral dress is so incredible on you that I'd be tempted to send everything else back and keep looking for more things that are as good as that!

alfiesmam · 02/06/2020 14:23

Agree with most my absolute favourite is the red floral dress it’s lovely on you . I really like the black top in the photo ( with the snake skirt ) I think that with the printed trousers would be lovely . I’d send everything else back if it were me .

WhyIsItSoHardToNameChange · 02/06/2020 14:23

I LOVE 2 & 3, where are they from??

yellowbluebell · 02/06/2020 14:24

You have too nice a figure to hide it behind the green sack style dress and the orange pleated one.

Immigrantsong · 02/06/2020 14:25

Enjoy your purchases OP, you look lovely in them all!

Igtg · 02/06/2020 14:25

Agree with the others. The red dresses are lovely but not keen on the orange pleats.

CuppaZa · 02/06/2020 14:26

I like the last red dress and the tropical trousers. The rest aren’t particularly flattering, although I do prefer clothes that accentuate figures

NC10101 · 02/06/2020 14:26

I really like 1, 3 and 6

6 is the nicest, great stuff 👍

tryinganotherusername · 02/06/2020 14:26

The red floral dress is really lovely on you, I like the dark red one too. I don't like the printed trousers, the green dress or the snakeskin skirt outfit.
The yellow top and denim skirt both suit your figure, but for some reason I don't like them together, no idea why. I think they'd both look great with something different.

OffToSingapore · 02/06/2020 14:27

The red dresses both look lovely on you.

I like the green dress (although I agree with others that it's not especially flattering for your shape).

I'm not keen on the others. My least favourites are the peach dress and the yellow T-shirt and denim skirt combo.

NC10101 · 02/06/2020 14:27

I personally don’t like 4 & 7, but you do you

Oddbutnotodd · 02/06/2020 14:30

Orange dress is the best fit on you. Not sure about the colour. Trousers are good. Dark red dress looks ok.
If you’re asking a load of strangers what we think send the rest back. If you wouldn’t want to wear a item right now - weather excepted - then you don’t love it enough to keep it. Don’t just buy because it’s cheap right now.

SirVixofVixHall · 02/06/2020 14:35

The red dress with the little print is the most flattering thing, it looks lovely on you.
I agree with pps that the yellow top isn’t great with the denim mini, but it might look good with white wide leg trousers, if you have any.

Russell19 · 02/06/2020 14:36

@ohtheholidays @yellowbluebell @Immigrantsong and others thank you all so much for your lovely comments. Made me smile. I recently had a baby and my body has changed so much! That along with maternity leave Cake and lockdown Wine I am well aware I need to lose about a stone (or two) but I really didn't think I'd get such nice comments. Glad I posted!

Love some honest opinions and I agree with the comments. As soon as a saw the pleated pink thing I was like OMG what is that?! But thought I'd try it, and the green floral one just doesn't really sit right over my boobs. As a pp said the hem I guess should sit under my boobs but doesn't it kinda sits ON my boobs then goes straight down! So I think I'll be returning those ones.

I am not sure that the peach pleated dress, or the green empire line dress, work with your shape. The waisted fit of the orangey red print dress is much more flattering as you are busty.

Kazplus2 · 02/06/2020 14:37

No to the peach dress and green dress and denim skirt outfit. Yes to the others.

oohnicevase · 02/06/2020 14:39

Where is the red / coral midi shirt dress from? I think this is the most flattering .
