Pinafore dresses?

6 replies

I've seen a few pinafore dresses around lately, and quite fancy one, but I'm busty - will I look completely ridiculous? I don't particularly mind if I don't look either fashionable or stylish, just don't want to look silly!

It will depend on what type of pinafore, the ones with Bob fronts would probably be more flattering than the ones that look like sleeveless dresses.

Bib not Bob.

Try some on. I have a few and lots of dungarees
The pinafores vary a lot in styles so try a few on, and look at different sort of shops The pull on ones that don't have bib&brace fastening or zip can be flattering.

I was thinking closer to the bib type, Parrot, but there's a couple there I rather like. That said, there seems to be some disagreement on the more flattering style!

The Bravissimo ones are nice and the models look shapely.

I was thinking more New Look, Primark sort of styles. I think mine are from Topshop and New Look. I'm an inverted triangle, so I need a straight skirt to the pinafore, and they are not fitted.

I have a pinafore from M&S and it's very nice but not worn it for a while
