like the shape fishie

but knitted + lurex finish = a delightful gleam from the top of each lump/bump, no?

beautiful dress, tutter.

lulumama · 02/01/2008 19:27

not sure if this is fab or hideous!

T and S do recommend an empire line and that dress looks vaguely empire

What about this with a wrap or something to cover the shoulders?

I am no expert....but surely if she is small of nork with good legs she shoudl be showing off her legs, not a plunging neckline????

Tutter, I think the first dress, the petit salope one, is jaw droppingly gorgeous....only wish I could afford it!

ok we shall see - have ordered it

agree that the scoop neckline on the empire line one wouldn't be good on me

i think they are all gorgeous. thought the prices have scared me.
just get good control underwear. it will smooth down any lumops and bumps.

pinkmook · 02/01/2008 20:03

OOh good glad you picked that one (vicarious shopping thrill going on here!) I love love love that one sgorge

Carnival · 02/01/2008 20:06

Tutter, I think both dress options are fab. If you are a bit hesitant about length of 2nd dress, it might look ok over long black floaty trousers?

Shitemum · 02/01/2008 20:06

Like the dress you've ordered. Think you need a lovely sparkly choker for your neck with that neckline and hair up. What about shoes?
