I tried this on today and was surprised by how much I loved it. BUT it’s unlined and you could clearly see my undies, and it’s polyester which isn’t going to work as it’ll make me sweat. I’m looking for something to wear out next month when DH and I go away for a few days for my birthday, ideally something I can wear all day and then to dinner in the evening. My stomach, hips and bum are a disaster area but this fit really nicely, and the length is bang on for covering my knees which is another hang up I have. I’m a size 16 and almost 40. I tried it on in the cream colour, it looks like they have black online too. I generally go for an empire line in dresses but trying this on has convinced me that I can wear something more fitted. Anyone seen anything nice? H&M wrap dress

Just to add, I see a lot of hate for viscose on this board but have no problem with it, it’s polyester, nylon and acrylic I’d like to avoid.

Have you tried putting it into google image search. A few options come up.

sorry it's not exactly the same - but I've got this in black, (but that's now sold out online), but is still available in cream and other colours. I've found it really flattering. https://www.sezane.com/en/product/pippa-dress/cream#size-L

Could you put a Skims dress underneath to hide vpl or is it too thin? It's coming into winter so it may not be too hot.

@belcarra I LOVE that! How do you find the sizing?

@HamHand so sorry for the delay. I'm a 61 year old size 10-12 with big boobs and a tum and a 10 is ok on me. So I'd say stick with your usual size so it looks like in their sizing that would be XL. Its a great dress with trainers, sandals and I'll be wearing it with boots. It washes well and keeps its shape. I hope you like it
