sorry but intital thoughts are no not for big boobs - i am no Gok though

mazzystar · 07/05/2008 22:24

i like it

its quite bold - think ok with big boobs so long as you don't have a problem wide butt

keep the shoes simple - maybe wedgey espadrilles? bit of a heel would be good

suwoo · 07/05/2008 22:29

I'm a 30F and quite good at knowing what would be ok and I say this would be great for those proportions. same as Butterfly, I aint no Gok.

You cleavage would be vast!

any more opinions?

I am thinking about ordering it... I think the length might be more of a problem than the boobs? I like it... it is not very expensive... it is summery and the colours are nice.

even if I do have big boobs I could use a vest to hide my "vast cleavage"?

Collision - is it because of the stripes you think my "cleavage would be vast" ?

Only concern would be whether you would be able to see your bra down the front of the cleavage - never a good look. I struggle with wraps or cross necklines and always end up having to wear a vest underneath or put a bloody pin in.

Also, am assuming the model is 6ft. Would the length be OK?

fishie · 08/05/2008 13:04

yes a vest no problem if there isnt enough fabric to cover your bosom area. i look beter in quite low cut tops and always wear a vest to preserve modesty. m&s limited collection camisoles are good.

what is wrong with length? you could take it up?

SniffyHock · 08/05/2008 13:06

I've never seen this website before. I like this one

brimfull · 08/05/2008 13:06

I think it would be good for big boobs.
May ordr it myself

SniffyHock · 08/05/2008 13:09

Ooh. I just ordered it - that was very impulsive for me!!

brimfull · 08/05/2008 13:26

how do you get to be so decisive/impulsive?

let me know how you get on with the skirt ggirl

well done sniffyhock! I think I am unsure whether to get the dress or skirt now..... I must buy one of them (I can't stop thinking about them) and then miraculously find shoes/wee cardigan to cover up.

I agree - I would only be able to wear that with a vest underneath which wouldn't work - it is a nice dress though.

I am going to browse that site later. I remember seeing loads of nice stuff in SeaSalt Fowey when I was on holiday last year....and I'll be there again in a few weeks! Yippeee!

well the skirt came today and I think the sizing is annoyingly big, I am usually between a 10 - 12 and I ordered a ten, think I will have to send it back and get an 8, I am never a size 8, ever

I like the colour, the material is lovely, soft and stretchy, it is a bit long but I do like it.
