Ooh that Ghost dress is stunning. Wish I had nice legs so I could get it ...

aBride · 11/11/2008 15:48

Here's mine (I have in a paler grey and I wear the bow undone because having it fall 'long' is more flattering).

They have it as a cardigan (hence I couldn't find it) but I've been wearing it as a dress! I tied it on the side, rather than on the back (although I think I'll check it out as a back tie too...)

I LUUURVE it.

I've been looking at them for weeks. Love them.

finally

Blinglovin · 11/11/2008 17:01

Freespirit - what size are you? I think that has a big impact. Mine works for me because I [ahem] am working on losing weight but am definitely not a teeny weeny person and it gives me more shape. But some of these simpler ones if you're slim would be gorgeous!

pleasechange · 11/11/2008 17:14

penthisilea love the Ghost dress. Would you say the sizing comes up big or small. Am a size 14 right now but with massive norks due to bf - don't know if a Medium would do?

I got a brilliant plum dress from H&M,maternity range but def not maternity shape! Bargain £19.99

Buy the LKBennett one. It's delicious. And so soft, DP keeps stroking me in a slightly inappropriate way!

Libra1975 · 11/11/2008 18:51

whoops, my fingers appeared to have slipped on the keyboard and I have bought 3 dresses.

paddingtonbear1 · 11/11/2008 19:10

I like the look of that Ghost dress, but don't know which size to get - never had anything from them before. Am normally a 12, but according to their measurements I could be an S.

I have no idea about Ghost sizing so I've just guessed and crossed my fingers. The filigree one is the one I REALLY want.

I think the reason they are so cheap is that Ghost has gone into receivership, our Ghost shop in town has closed.

freespiritfreedom · 11/11/2008 19:56

really i wonder why it was such a good bargin.

lets stock up

tsm, that green dress you linked can you tie the bow at the back?

mrsmaidamess · 11/11/2008 22:50

Not read thread, so apols if anyone has mentioned, but I've just ordered a nice black knitted dress from Asda online of all places.

freespiritfreedom · 11/11/2008 23:08

Tillyscoutsmum · 12/11/2008 08:34

freespirit - yes, you can tie it at the back

paddingtonbear1 · 12/11/2008 09:57

I like several of those Ghost dresses, also like the dandelion dress - only problem is it's dry clean only...

InTheDollshouse · 12/11/2008 11:33

So what was the verdict on Ghost dresses and large norks?

tonton · 12/11/2008 11:42

I think 'dryclean only' labels can be taken with a pinch of salt. Just do them on handwash cycle in machine and use good wool wash.

Am going to do a trip to Ghost store - who kneew they did nice stuff? Not me! Thanks for lots of great tips.

Libra1975 · 12/11/2008 12:35

tonton I'm pretty sure all Ghost shops have closed
