I didn't see your other post but this dress looks very nice.

Tillytess · 03/06/2020 14:18

Look good on you, would like to see what's going on at the side though, is it knotted?

roarfeckingroar · 03/06/2020 14:19

It's nice but you have a great figure and I don't think this dress highlights that.

dudsville · 03/06/2020 14:21

It's a lovely dress, nice colour. I didn't see your other thread.

Terralee · 03/06/2020 14:22

I like it & it suits you but as pp said you have a good figure don't hide it.
You could wear shorter items I think!

Lardlizard · 03/06/2020 14:27

Knot in the wrong place, would be better if the knot was higher up

AriettyHomily · 03/06/2020 14:39

I think the knot needs to be higher, above your hip.

ZaraW · 03/06/2020 14:42

You have a great figure. Don't like the dress.

pinkmoomin · 03/06/2020 15:00

I don’t think the tight sleeves and side knot due justice to your great figure. It may look better with heels, but don’t think it works with flats.

peachypetite · 03/06/2020 15:01

I think it’s a bit on the frumpy side OP. You have a nice figure so don’t need to cover it all up.

DavetheCat2001 · 03/06/2020 16:01

Hmm..can anyone recommend me some nice dresses then please?

I agree with pps that the dress doesn't do you any favours. IMO needs to be a lower neckline and/or higher hemline and more fitted at waist.

IndecentFeminist · 03/06/2020 16:18

It's ok. A bit 'meh' though, you could do better.

DavetheCat2001 · 03/06/2020 16:20

...so any suggestions?

OP posts:
peachypetite · 03/06/2020 16:23

What kind of dress are you after? Casual, going out?

DavetheCat2001 · 03/06/2020 16:29

Casual, day dresses to wear to work/weekends.

I tend towards a more alternative style, not into frills and not particularly girly. Have bright coloured hair/nose ring etc

I wear converse a lot (I know..a bit sin to some!)

I'll try the orange dress again with the bow bit tied better. I just chucked it on quickly this morning.

..also not fond of showing too much flesh.

I think the length isn't the best on you, you have a lovely shape and it cuts your legs wrong

Deadringer · 03/06/2020 16:46

I think it's lovely on you, you have a fab figure.

peachypetite · 03/06/2020 17:09

I think a knee length wrap dress would be much more flattering without being revealing

Bluntness100 · 03/06/2020 17:14

I think it’s ok, a bit “Boden mum” which you sound like you’re not.

DavetheCat2001 · 03/06/2020 17:15

It is Boden..don't know what I am really! I clearly have lost my sense of what looks good on me.

nitgel · 03/06/2020 17:24

Have a look a gap midi dresses. Also baukjen.

Bluntness100 · 03/06/2020 17:41

It is Boden

I won’t lie. Bit surprised I was right 🤣

GreyishDays · 03/06/2020 17:44

The thing is, that length is fashionable at the moment. So while it’s not very flattering, it doesn’t matter as much if loads of people are doing it?
So I wouldn’t worry too much about that.
