Name-changed for this just in case!

100% honesty on this dress - I love it but my bust is considerably bigger than my waist so my chest always looks top heavy.

I feel like I have a flabby mum body - is this your first thought too? (Dress for special occasion, wanted to feel beautiful but mostly just feel matron-ish. Also please ignore trainers!)

I'm a bit undecided, it does make you look booby, but not on a bad way, yout tummy looks slim. I think I'd like it more without the different colour on the flounce seams. The top embroidery is really pretty. Does it come in any othe colours?

fecklessfanny · 25/06/2022 20:05

I think it's lovely! Flattering and pretty
Good shoes and Bag-accessories hair done and it'll be fab!

LeafHunter · 25/06/2022 20:05

I’m sorry but it’s not great.

The colour and shape aren’t flattering.

Duvetdweller · 25/06/2022 20:05

I feel your pain. I would say you have a really tiny waist (I’m top heavy but no waist or hips) so I think you might be better accentuating the hour glass you have with a top and skirt

Suzi888 · 25/06/2022 20:05

I don’t think you have a flabby number body at all.

It’s a bit hard to ignore the trainers and may look totally different with a different shoe.

It’s not a ‘dressy’ dress in my opinion, you have a fab figure and could get away with something a bit more revealing. You have to feel comfortable though.

Playplayaway · 25/06/2022 20:06

You have a lovely figure and that dress is a good shape on you. With the right footwear so you can see a bit of leg and ankle it would look loads better. However the frilly bit around the top is a bit fussy. Shame as it's a lovely dress otherwise.

Thereisnolight · 25/06/2022 20:06

I think it’s lovely but more for daytime with trainers.

Suzi888 · 25/06/2022 20:06

Mum body not number!

5128gap · 25/06/2022 20:06

My first thought is that you gave a great body. Beautiful bust to waist ratio.
My second is that I personally dislike everything about the dress. Colour, style everything. But, it's absolutely not your lovely figure that's the issue.

Thereisnolight · 25/06/2022 20:06

White trainers.

buttonstep · 25/06/2022 20:06

Love it. It's lovely on your figure.

GMH1974 · 25/06/2022 20:07

I think it's very pretty on you but not especially smart

Keyboardconundrum221 · 25/06/2022 20:07

I think it gives you a lovely shape,-your waste is tiny. Not mad on the colour though.

mommybear1 · 25/06/2022 20:07

I think it looks lovely as a fellow big boob dress wearer I would be delighted with the fit of that.

FindingMeno · 25/06/2022 20:07

You have a great figure and I think the dress doesn't do it justice.

Binbags · 25/06/2022 20:07

Like it ! Try it with sandals or white pumps will look way different with a bit of ankle

Mrstumbletap · 25/06/2022 20:08

Hate it, sorry it looks like a pair of curtains from the 70s.

Fitterbyfifty · 25/06/2022 20:09

I think it's nice but would be better with sandals on the beach

Aquamarine1029 · 25/06/2022 20:09

You can do much, much better.

Assistanttotheregionalmanager · 25/06/2022 20:09

I think you have a fantastic figure but the dress is horrible

Suzi888 · 25/06/2022 20:10

Few dresses here, long, short, clingy, loose.

fabicelolly · 25/06/2022 20:12

I think it’s lovely, it makes your figure look good, slim. But looks like boobs need a little bit of a boost - okay as is, but do have a better bra perhaps?

I think with heels, red/bright lipstick, no watch, a bangle to highlight your wrist at its smallest point, it’ll look very elegant.

Keep it!

KatharinaRosalie · 25/06/2022 20:13

It doesn't make you look flabby but it's a bit Little House on the Prairie and doesn't really look that special for a special occasion.

Tiaandchewy79 · 25/06/2022 20:14

Not keen.
Top half looks pretty, but bottom half does not hang well.
You could do a lot better: maybe, a wrap top with softer bottom drape.

Flowerymess · 25/06/2022 20:16

You've got a gorgeous figure and this highlights that. Not with those trainers though.
