also, is it too dressy for day wear?

God it makes the (no doubt teeny) model look humongous !

I would say that it depends on where you live dressyness wise. I think it could be daytime with a little cardi and flat sandals, but it would still be quite dressy daytime, IYSWIM

Thanks.....I hadn't thought of that ...I was thinking my big tummy/arse would be well hidden beneath the volume of material..

eeeeeeek ! too dressy for the day and also terribly unflattering, makes the model , who is clearly slim, look wider at the hips and not flattering on the bust either.

so even if you are of model proportions there is probably a nicer and more reasonably priced maxi dress out there for you

matalan always seem to do good dresses and you could get 10 dresses for the price of that one!

If you really do have a large mid area then this dress will make you look pregnant.
