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

[Carmenere]

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?

Thanks maidamess, I don't think I have ever pleased you with my spots before

bugger that's a shame Carm.

i'd go for the red, of the two, esp for a wedding. i do like slur's dress v much also, FANTASTIC colour.

It is isn't it Aitch? Can't justify it for me mind.

I have never let justifications stop me from buying a fab dress. I got a silver grey beaded beauty from Debenhams online, its gorgeous. Just need a party to take it to now!

Well, yeees. But I still have that lovely grey one I considered for the wedding that I still haven't had chance to wear.

See I have a backlog.

I like it, i love the length, shape and the neckline. nice! Will suit your shape i think xx

Ok I tried it on and it was quite nice BUT the fabric was yuechy.

I tried this except in red and it looked really, really good except the 16 was a tiny bit big and they didn't have it in a 14 i might have to get it in black as it was very flattering, but I really diddn't want to wear black, I wear it all the time.

I also tried this which was quite nice too, but a bit daytimey iywsim.

I am a bit dis-heartened tbh.

i like both, the red would look nice with mahoosive pearls and bracelet i think. and maybe even a breakfast at tiffs-style hat.

I might end up getting it but it is quite officey, But perhaps with a black belt, black shoes, and perhaps a hat it might be ok.

How will it look at 3am though?

they look very nice dresses

Yes that is exactly how I would like to look cept blonde

I did the smart thing of wearing my spanx and high heels to go shopping so I could tell what the dresses would look like. It really works as you are under no illusions iyswim.

oh my LORD what a figure that woman has!

I would like to look like this but I don't think that that type of corseting has been made since the 50's

If I can't find the 14 in the red version of the black dress, I'm thinking I might buy it in the 16 and get it altered. It was the one that made me feel best, it was the most Gina iyswim

great idea, it'll fit you perfectly then. it's a lovely dress, you should definitely get it.
