Good dresses for high summer on a narrow and short frame ?

[melsy]

I really want some dresses to wear with flat sandals on my holiday.

I struggle being 5'2", pear shaped and only small chest size.

and if you lovely people could also suggest for me 5', skinny but apple shaped that would be great too

this is empire line, a -line and sweet

I am 5ft 1 and tried on quite a few dresses yesterday. Primark have some lovely styles in and new look. I find knee lenghth (or just past) look best and bandeau top.
ill try a link

pretty also available in green

Have a look at Dorothy Perkins website too, Gok is there talking about what shapes suit you . I think bandeaus look good on apples!

nice shape maidamess,is quite cute, not sure of print on me , but would like to try it.

Havent done primark yet.

the only thing with the bandaus is I wore one all through my pregnancy with dd2 and it reminds me of that time lol!!

The thing I find with loads of dresses is they fit ok on the hips and then are enourmous on the chest, really winds me up!

ooohh I like this , not sure it will like me though?

ooh and I tried on a couple of dresses in H and M too..they were noce and cheap. Dresses are difficult .that why I like the bandeau ones cause I am an hourglass and dresses always gap on my waist ans back

melsy do you have a flattish stomach (as pears often do) If so altho that asos dress is lovely, it would hide your slimmest part as it has a lot of fabric over the stomach and under the boobs.

look at these ones

I think those are great southeast....if you are a Pussy Cat Doll!

they're nicer in rl maidamess

I like the cut of the 1st tea shirt one SEA, but not in grey. The rest are a bit errmm boobyish!!!!!!!!

You might be right about that dress cut on the Asos one maidamess.

I need something to hide my flabby tummy and I need to be able to wear my gel filled bra - any more suggestions?

Going shopping tommmorow to start on my summer hols search. I only have 2 dresses from the last few years, one really great cheapy one from Tescos last yr in white and blue and a similar cut from Hennes 3 yrs back in a stripe cheesecloth style. Both strappy though.

oohhhhh how annoying ,didnt preview links 1st.

what is with my linking tonight

here

I just got this dress
I had to send it back for a larger size as it is small around the chest (and I'm all of a c-cup, as breastfeeding atm)
It also struck me as being made for someone shorter than me, I'm 5'7"
