Be honest - do I look like I've had a run in with a sofa and lost?

[NorkyButNice]

I'm trying to break out from my usual black/brown/grey wardrobe so have bought this shift dress in a blue/white print.

Am now scared that it's taking the print idea a bit too far.

Please ignore the bingo wings as I'll be wearing it with a cardigan, but am also concerened it's too figure hugging (have just lost 2 stone and not used to wearing clothes that actually touch my body).

Be honest but kind please!

Hi Norky! You look great! Well done on the weight loss. How did you do it? I would love to be a 16!!!!

Dress looks great. Lovely and fresh and summery.

It suits you and fits perfectly. The style is perfect and the print is really nice.

You look great. No cardi needed!

You're a fox, missus. And scrub the cardi - your arms are just fine.

i love it!

Is it new?
Wheres it from?

Looks great, fantastci shape (the dress - and you!) - I would actually avoid a cardi because it might make it a bit frumpy - depending on the cardi, of course.

I would wear it with a chunky plain perspex or plastic bangle, not fussy jewellry.

Yes bought it yesterday - H&M in Bluewater for the grand total of 25 pounds.

They also had it in yellow and pale gold that I saw, but I only looked in one corner of the shop as I was in a rush, so wouldn't be suprised if they had it in every colour of the rainbow.

It's got a belt that you can't see very well in the picture...it's really good quality for the price - holds you in in all the right places.

Thanks Buda - I actually started taking some medication just after the Xmas meetup which contributed to losing weight - that combined with me stopping drinking due to being ill.

Thanks again for the nice comments!

Have only read OP and checked you out, but bingo wings? Piss off

You look very nice.

You look good. You have a great figure!

you look fantastic. Great figure, no bingo wings. Well done on the weight loss, enjoy showing off your figure, you should do!!!

it suits you

I think you look great. And no bingo wings either.

personally i'd take it up a bit, say an inch or so above the knee, but otherwise lovely. i'm assuming op is an h&m 16 - i'm still a 14 in there despite finding out today i'm an 8 in matalan

Another love it vote here - you look great.

Great dress, great figure. You look very lovely

H&M you say?

AH now I saw something similar in H and M in a bright blue.
Is it cotton?

AND i think I agree re length

It's not as long as it looks in that picture - it's just below the knee (but bearing in mind I'm 5'10, it would be quite long on anyone much shorter). My thighs could still do with some toning so I probably won't shorten it at the moment!

I'll check the label for material in a minute, but it certainly felt a good quality fabric.

Is H&M different sizing to elsewhere then?

It looks great and so do you...

Not as far as I know

You look georgeous.

You look great, step away from the cardi - not needed.

Am I allowed a cardi because it's England and therefore cold even in spring/summer?

no. No cardigans,

defy the english weather!! Style is impervious to temperature
