Do you think that this dress would look nice on me?

I am tall, well 5,10', I am curvy size 16 (ie 38E) and I have shoulder length blond wavy hair.
I am going to a super-cool wedding and I have a very limited budget. So would I look like Bet Lynch in that dress?

am assuming a certain amount of animal print is involved

lilolilmanchester · 24/07/2008 22:15

hasn't got much shape... or much of anything really. Link please!

what dress??

maidamess · 24/07/2008 22:16

OOh print a bit cheap bold

lilolilmanchester · 24/07/2008 22:16

You'd have to try it on. It could look either completely fab or completely naff.

hellymelly · 24/07/2008 22:16

I think you would look very foxy!

cornsilk · 24/07/2008 22:16

depends on shoes, hair etc. Could be classy or not, depending on accessories.

paolosgirl · 24/07/2008 22:17

Ummm...honestly?

Yes.

Please don't buy it nice lady.

RubySlippers · 24/07/2008 22:17

ooh - sexy

niiiiiiiiiiiice

harpomarx · 24/07/2008 22:17

am normally a sucker for any animal print (espurrcially leopard). But... that dress is confusing me. What is the belt scarf down the side combo all about?

RubySlippers · 24/07/2008 22:18

hair like this natch

Carmenere · 24/07/2008 22:18

Yes, you see I think I might be brave slutty enough to pull it off.
I don't have the budget to buy something fab so I'm thinking go a bit flashy.

Depends how you accessorise and do your hair.

RubySlippers · 24/07/2008 22:19

v neck is excellent for larger bust

the nipped in waist will emphasise your curves

think the shape is good

Booboobedoo · 24/07/2008 22:19

I love that dress, and a 5'10" blonde would look stunning. Imo.

The shape is demure though, even though the print is a bit I will of course have to try it on.

I think shape is nice and flattering. But it would look more modern in a bold single colour, like electric blue.
