Please take a look at this dress ...

[bluenosesaint]

Ok, so i'm 5ft 5, a size 16 with problem tummy and hips (amongst others things, lol).

Can i wear this dress?

Or not?

...and is it that nice anyway?

I like it a lot.

Okay for tummy and hips I'd say. More of an issue for flabby arms and shoulders. Perhaps not great on the huge of nork.

Very pretty dress.

lovely - will skim over hips too

I likey

Try it on & see before you commit yourself.

Agree wtih broc - only wear if your arms are slim and toned IMO, otherwise put a little cardi type top over

It is nice tho

I do have flabby arms too tho broccoli

Was thinking of this to go with it ...

What do you think?

Ooops i'm too slow to reply, lol

Thanks all

ok for tummy and hips but at a 16 I would worry that straight-across neckline would be unkind to arms / shoulders / decolletage
the straps aren't enough to hide a decent bra either

I think this is a better shape at the top

v pretty, is it for a special occasion?

yes lovely on both counts

oh, woul dbe fine with bolero

For dd's first Holy Communion

(no eyes will be on me, cos dd is stunningly beautiful )

Lovely with the little cardi. You'll look fab!

(Love Mrs B's link too).

Thats settled then!

Thanks all
