Bombshell dresses

19 replies

I've just bought a bombshell hq dress at 50% off in the sale. I'm starting to twitch about how low cut it will be, it's an on the edge of the shoulder dress: www.bombshellhq.com/collections/mid-season-sale/products/edge-of-the-shoulder-midi-bombshell-dress-in-cotswold-roses-print

Do any of you have one of their dresses? Do you love your dress if you do? I'm a busty 12 for context.

These dresses will work wonders for your figure. I have two and they're lovely, very feminine and figure enhancing. Perfect for a date or occasion.

Not sure how low cut this is but you can add a little lace trim if you feel it's too low

Thank you @FirmlyRooted that's a great idea, glad to read that you love your dresses.

Lovely dress, the 2 i have can adjust the wrap top a bit to make more or less revealing but aren't low.

Lovely dress, I’m sure you’ll look fantastic in it! If you feel it’s a bit too revealing try wearing it with a lacy crop top underneath so a bit of lace can peek out at the cleavage?

Thank you @Scattyhattie I'm glad there is a bit of adjustment

Thank you @Notarealmum I do like the idea of a little lace bit until I get more confident.

That's a beautiful dress!

How is the sizing on these? I’m usually an 18 but just measured and am coming up 22!

allsideways · 17/08/2020 08:37

Thank you @dudsville, I've been eyeing it up for ages. When it went on sale it was temporarily out of stock in my size and I felt so disappointed that I knew I had to buy it when it became available.
I'm justifying it with the money saved by using up all the samples/miniatures/random purchases in my beauty hoard but that's another story!

I've gone on their measurements @supercatlady I wear a lot of vintage and have learned the hard way to get the tape measure out!
I'm usually a big 10 small 12 and have an hourglass shape, using their measurements I'm at the top of their 12 and possibly should have considered a 14 due to norks. If it had been fitted over the hips I'd definitely have needed a 14.

Dress has arrived, it isn't crazy low cut and cat sit up higher with no problems. It fits true to size on the website, very happy with it Smile

Excellent - enjoy wearing it!!

dudsville · 19/08/2020 15:13

Yay!

Rebelwithallthecause · 19/08/2020 15:33

Can we have a photo? I love their dresses but haven’t bought any yet .

LisaD76 · 19/08/2020 21:03

How are these for us petites.... really like the cut but hate the fact they always seem to sit mid calf.... also why do manufacturers make it longer if you are a bigger size? It’s not like you are automatically taller because you are a size 16 versus someone who is a 12

trixie1970 · 19/08/2020 21:21

Wow! Dress is amazing! I bet you look stunning in it, OP Smile

allsideways · 19/08/2020 22:15

Too shy for pic of me, it would be a different length on petite, I'm 5'8" and it is mid calf. Thank you for kind comments, I really do appreciate them Smile if you want to try one their returns policy looks easy and pretty amazing!

Stunning dress OP!

I’ve never heard of the brand before

Shame there are no photos of the dresses on models to get a better feel of how they look with a body inside

allsideways · 19/08/2020 22:35

There are pics on models @EhUp but you do have to hunt about a bit, they might be pic 3 when you click on a dress. I don't look like one of their models, my 32E is flat compared to them! I also don't do shape wear as being constricted makes me Confused
