I am a size 12, biggish norks, slimmish waist, not brilliant legs (although kneelenght and high shoes is fine). Slightly matronly of upper arm. I need a dress or outfit for this 40th do. What I dont want is a Monsoon style v neck, sash waist, flared knee-lenght dress - yes that style suits me but I always feel very frumpy in it. Anyone?

Marni doesn't have a particularly young demographic - the point is actually that the geometric cuts (and sleeves... what other brand has so many dresses with sleeves?) are very forgiving of less than perfect bodies and hide a multitude of sag.

But you do need to be on the tall, slim side.

Which all sounds fine for Enid (or me).
