I seem to have a fixation on this as wanted a top the same a few weeks back. I have several occasions that call for a dress , but I want one quite modern and drapy and preferably on the knee as this suits my leg shape.

I bought one in Wharehouse on Saturday (although not on their website) and just showed it to my sis who thinks its far from flattering, Im beginning to agree!

Tis a shame as the top half around the chest area is nicely designed - long rever collar that ends in a drapy knot with satin sheen,low v, folded back short sleeves and the body area is more matt. It feels good to the waist, but the bottom half combines a drapy tulip shape with a 1920's style deep gusset thing and I look severly pear shaped in it and come to think of it frumpy!!!

Me too. That's my favourite so far lol. Typical isn't it? Mind you, it's ASOS, it'll be in the sale for about £2 in a couple of weeks!
