I am

  • 27yo
  • sz12
  • 32F norks
  • good waist
  • average tummy (eg not pancake flat but not muffin overspill either).
  • 5'7"
  • My upper arms are ok but would prefer something short sleeved (cap sleeves).
  • I can also wear halterneck but NO strappy spaghetti type tops please
  • Colours I'm quite flexible but no pastels please. Bold colours such as turquoise suit me.
  • I'm dark haired, dark eyed and fair skinned.
  • Budget unlimited

Thanks

Sorry forgot to say that if you find dresses then length wise I'm happy with anything just below the knee up to mini (but not fanny flashingly so)

I would say with a figure like that, a binbag would look sexy

noddyholder · 24/03/2009 16:18

FigmentOfYourImagination · 24/03/2009 16:44

The problem with having big boobs is that tops often either look a) matronly or b) tarty

love this

mrsruffallo · 24/03/2009 18:12

How about this?

mrsruffallo · 24/03/2009 18:14

Or this?

Ewe · 24/03/2009 18:17

What is occasion?

naomi83 · 24/03/2009 18:17

no offense mrs ruffallo, but those would look pretty tarty with big boobs. IMO the secret to classy dressing is not to show too much. if you've got lovely boobs and nice cleavage then you want knee lengh or longer and a bit of sleeve. look at all the classy red carpet dressers, they only ever show off one thing at a time

mrsruffallo · 24/03/2009 18:21

But naomi she is 27, and your dress is too old for her so na na na na na
Red carpet is so blase though. Doesn't work in RL.
This with the right accessories and ankle boots could look very cool

Ewe · 24/03/2009 18:23

I am a huge fan of this dress
and this depending on complexion. Fabulous - basically just a great website, have a good look around!

Birthday night out on the town with the girls.

Thanks for suggestions so far.

The bravissimo dress is a too daytime and dare I say, a bit frumpy for my tastes but then on the other hand the topshop one is too much flesh - legs, arms AND cleavage ! Yikes.

I rather ike Flannels.

Please keep suggestions coming

I LOVE this but when I say unlimited budget I wasn't thinking £500+ !

OP posts:
FigmentOfYourImagination · 24/03/2009 19:08

I like this a lot too but poss a bit plain

naomi83 · 24/03/2009 19:14

i love the black joseph one, but clearly i have frumpy tastes (no offense taken btw, better than the opposite i suppose)

FigmentOfYourImagination · 24/03/2009 19:17

LOL

I think the Joseph one could be accessorised to perfect. So long as I don't look too wench like in it, which is the danger of empire line stuff

OP posts:
Ewe · 24/03/2009 19:18

Have you looked at ASOS?

I like this and this but not terribly exciting! Could be with accessories though.

This but doesn't have sleeves and I personally really like this but it is a bit pastelly and this is a fab colour.

I LOVE window shopping from my sofa

Ewe · 24/03/2009 19:19

I love that polka dress too, been coveting it for a while and hoping it goes down in price by 50% again. It is beautiful!

Pollyanna · 24/03/2009 19:24

I have seen this dress recommended in a few magazines. There are lots of nice dresses in french connection I think

oxocube · 24/03/2009 19:26

The problem is, Ewe, (and
I speak as someone with a similar figure to the OP although sadly not 27 ), those dresses might look great on the models but they have no tits. Put them on someone with big boobs and they either look slutty or ridiculous. FOYI, I know what you mean about the 'wench look'! Move over Nell Gwyn

BikeRunSki · 24/03/2009 19:43

I wear this top on those kind of occasions. May be too old for you though, as I am 10 years older than you. They do a similar one in orange though.

bravissimo does it again

stroppyknickers · 24/03/2009 19:52

dammit. was hopimg yopu were a size 8 who would buy my Pringle tkmaxx bargain dress, which i love but am not sexy enough for...

FigmentOfYourImagination · 24/03/2009 20:00

Also empire line tends to make me look fatter than I am, the boobs again, I suppose.

Some good suggestions. Thanks girls
