Oh that's nice - do you have nice enough norks for it?

squeaver · 07/05/2009 21:08

Oh you do.

Overmydeadbody · 07/05/2009 21:09

It won't suit you.

It doesn't go with your colouring

You'll look pregnant and fat in it

Denim is so out this season

You'll get funny strap lines from the halterneck top that will give you visible white lines when you wear normal tops

You can't afford it, there are starving children in Africa you know

It's too cold.

Overmydeadbody · 07/05/2009 21:10

did that work?

Overmydeadbody · 07/05/2009 21:11

almost forgot:

You don't have any shoes that will go with it.

sadly overmydeadbody i do i have some fab blue birkenstocks!

bra might be an issue but if its tight enough on the bust then i may get to go braless which would be a novelty esp being a 34G!!

gnatbite - did it look like it could cater for boobs? or is it design for stick thin model types?

i know - i need help with shoes for this summer, thought i'd got it sorted but kangaroo's only come in whole sizes and i have half sized feet - very annoying.

The boobage didn't look huge I'm afraid (but that may just be the way they had pinned it to the model)

Overmydeadbody · 07/05/2009 21:17

at 34G boobs. I hate you

It will make you look pregnant.

You will get fat bulges under the arms in it

Your boobs will be squashed

but i can wear power pants and buy a size bigger to cater for my boobs! can you tell i really want it!

right i'm off to white stuff to try it on on saturday, just have to hope that hulababy doesn't see it first (going on hols with her, whilst its cute that our girls sometimes where the same outfits us doing it would be very sad!)

OP posts:
Thebolter · 07/05/2009 21:26

But if you buy a size bigger for your boobs it will look like a tent on you.

You need something that makes the most of your womanly curves...

Somehow I think you have already talked yourself into buying it!

I was looking at this in the catalogue - would like it if it wasn't blardy blue which I don't like (WS will you stop making so many things in only blue colourways!) - I owuld love it in green. BUT I did notice that in the model pic (visible on your link) it gives even the skinny model a bit of a tum. If you have magnificent bazoomas though they would probably take centre stage.

overmydeadbody - i lost a load of weight before my wedding and looked like i might fall over was very top heavy!! must try and lose some weight again.

Thebolter - i shall go and try it on if i get time on saturday, i fell in love with a red herring dress of a similar style but it was awful, no boob room and huge round my thighs which are anything but small!!!

muffle - i love there blue stuff, there's a lovely white skirt with green swirls i'm liking too.

Now must remember to take DH as his ex-student works there and he got me 20% off last time!
