It's cut incredibly wide around the hips and thighs; not very flattering I don't think.

KangarooKenny · 09/08/2022 18:00

It looks like a long line top with layered trousers on that picture.

milkysmum · 09/08/2022 18:00

Have to agree with the previous poster that the cut of the dress isn't flattering on you i'm afraid. Have you got any alternatives?

Maireas · 09/08/2022 18:00

Not flattering, it's too fussy

Hoppinggreen · 09/08/2022 18:01

It’s not very flattering, sorry

Dotcheck · 09/08/2022 18:01

Looks like trousers and top

KittyMcKitty · 09/08/2022 18:04

I’m afraid I agree with the others - too fussy with the wrap too and multi tiered skirt which doesn’t really work. The sleeves are a funny length too. It also looks odd with your sandals.

Sorry! You have a great figure though so I’m sure will have no problems finding something fabulous.

Doubleraspberry · 09/08/2022 18:05

It’s drowning you a bit.

RudsyFarmer · 09/08/2022 18:06

It’s a no. Do you have any other options? You have a lovely figure so pretty much anything else would look lovely.

Feeellostindirection · 09/08/2022 18:22

Does look like layered trousers with a tunic top, not a dress. It's not nice either way tbh.

iknowthismuchis · 09/08/2022 18:33

Ooh no, you clearly have a lovely figure and could do so much better than that dress, sorry

StarlightLady · 09/08/2022 19:09

I think something more fitted would be better, but you need to take the warm weather into account too.

ShirleyPhallus · 09/08/2022 19:15

Not flattering imo, adds lots of volume to your hips.

Crazycrazylady · 09/08/2022 19:29

No I don't think so. Doesn't suit your shape at all

Iamthewombat · 09/08/2022 21:50

NO, NO AND THRICE NO

bananaboats · 09/08/2022 21:55

Another vote for not flattering! Sorry OP but I think you could def get something nicer.

DramaAlpaca · 09/08/2022 22:12

Sorry to add to the chorus, but that dress isn't flattering. It's drowning you. You can do much better.

123ZYX · 09/08/2022 22:13

Are you aware you can see your baby's (very cute!) face in the picture?

SouthernFashionista · 09/08/2022 22:16

Awful. No. You can do better.

figmaofmyimagination · 09/08/2022 22:16

I like the colour and the wrap style top on you. The bottom half of that dress doesn’t work I don’t think.

Thurlow · 09/08/2022 22:19

The colour seems nice on you but that’s a terribly unflattering cut, sorry

MrsTimRiggins · 09/08/2022 22:23

You have such a lovely figure but that dress is truly awful.
ps your baby is adorable.

emerald7 · 09/08/2022 22:26

It's not the best shape for your figure, do you have a wrap dress without the layers?

Elsiid · 09/08/2022 22:27

The colour is nice but fit isn't.

DiscoBadgers · 09/08/2022 22:27

It’s not hanging right on you because the top part is too long for your body
