This one

I need a nice dress that is smart casual and I love this. I have fairly big norks though and MIL said it would look awful.

I think it's lovely, I also think it calls for a bit of cleavage!

LetThemEatCake · 20/05/2009 18:24

bah, who ever listens to their mother-in-law? their default setting is 'bitch'

(apologies if yours is lovely )

It's a good dress, fine with boobs - go for it.

Just don't forget the Gok tip on boobs in maxis - put your bra on, put the dress on, slip the bra off - and your boobs will be sitting where they should be

(have not tried this as am small up top, but we trust Gok )

No she isn't nice so it's ok.

I will remember that trick.

how big is big norks? you don't want to be hanging out of it at either side..

I think looking at it you could maybe wear a black strapless bra underneath which should solve any probs

I like the dress

georgiemum · 20/05/2009 18:42

Very pretty. Can you wear a bra with it - the back looks a little low?

Kayzr · 20/05/2009 18:48

I'm a 40E. I could look for a multiway bra.

yeah, get a good halterneck bra and if you like it go for it.

my own personal tip is that if I'm wearing a top with a back that can slip down I do two things

  1. the hanger straps are normally at the side of the dress so I tuck these into my bra and pull them right down so dress is 'pinned' to top of bra under arms

  2. put a little bit of lingerie tape on the back of my bra and stick the top of the dress to it

no 2 doesn't work on all materials though as sometimes you can see the shape of the tape through v thin material.

I am a 32/4 E. I would look hideous in that. That doesn't necessarily mean that you would though!

Flame · 20/05/2009 19:01

LetThemEatCake - Gok clearly has no norks of his own and has never tried that lasting for more than about 30 mins

Would look hideous on me. My arse is too sticky outy and my norks too big - I doubt I would be able to find a bra that suited just right as it would need to be really low or wrap round at the back

EachPeachPearMum · 20/05/2009 19:53

Janeite how odd... so am I!

We are too short petite for maxi dresses I think...

EachPeachPearMum · 20/05/2009 19:54

sorry- I meant odd that we're both 33E... or maybe its normal to be between sizes?

LetThemEatCake · 20/05/2009 19:56

Okay, I take it back. Gok accessorises with gloves waaaaay too much and is clearly not to be trusted.

janeite · 20/05/2009 20:36

EachPeach - freeeeeeaky!

No - maxi dresses are for the tall and slender I think. I suspect I would look like Tweedledum AND Tweedledee combined in one.
