i have it in green! all i need now is a school to run to.

Jewelsandgems · 11/06/2009 19:25

I went to Wallis today and they did not have any of them! The assistant said they would not be in for another 2 weeks

So, I ended up buying a print dress from next (they had quite a few nice things in - for a change)

Think I may have to order online for the wallis one....

gigglewitch · 11/06/2009 19:32

I've got the black one - it is a fab throw-on-and-go dress

DeepGoat · 11/06/2009 19:35

i got mine in store [centre of the middle aged fashion world emoticon]

fishie · 11/06/2009 20:56

bastard wallis. M was too small. L = tent.

i like the sleeves and the pockets make a rather nice pointy shape at hips, you know that sort of drapy thing which is on lots of dresses.

it would have been very suitable if it had bloody fitted. the purple esp is a lovely violet.

so they are true to size, from their description anyway.

DeepGoat · 11/06/2009 21:11

my store didn't have the purple, navy looked abit shite

MacaroonIncident · 11/06/2009 21:43

oh fishie

fgs make it fit

what was not fitting?

fishie · 11/06/2009 21:49

it did emphasise all the worst bits. am v solid torso and longish arms and legs.

you'll probably be alright in it, daintier than me.

MacaroonIncident · 11/06/2009 22:08

NO O NO
oh fshie i LIEK it on you

fishie · 11/06/2009 22:12

it looked as if my bottom had been transplanted to my stomach.

oh fucking hell it was an s shape on the front and not the right one either.

teafortwo · 11/06/2009 22:27

Oh yes - all the funky young things are wearing dresses exactly like that in Paris right now!

Team with floppy side parted and very shiny hair, gladiator sandals, big big sunglasses, a bag big enough to live in and a face like this....

... and you will be sporting the perfect Parisian style!

Interestingly I wore a big shirt dress to a party in Liverpool and everyone was a bit . Are short but big and floppy dresses 'in' in the UK now? I think they are quite nice.

DeepGoat · 12/06/2009 09:14

what other shoes could youwear with it? i can't quite bring myself to wear gladiators

Curiousmama · 12/06/2009 09:35

Thanks for that link..that dress is way too short for me, I'm tall and also will be 41 soon bet they look great on you though.
Found this one on that link though which I could wear and may get with my birthday cash?

fishie · 12/06/2009 11:16

grr i want a dress like the original. but in MY SIZE.

MacaroonIncident · 12/06/2009 16:32

oh tits fishie

MacaroonIncident · 12/06/2009 16:34

she bought htis very expensive looking skirt

mrsmaidamess · 12/06/2009 16:37

I was in there last night. I'm usually very sniffy about marks but was impressed with lots of their stuff

MacaroonIncident · 12/06/2009 16:39

..SOrry meant to add and I tried on this dress. here
and it was SO NIcE but i am a size 13 i think, the 12 too tight over bust and the 14 gaping

paddingtonbear1 · 12/06/2009 17:01

Macaroon I tried that dress on yesterday! The colour was great but the fit didn't suit me, I need to be taller...

MacaroonIncident · 12/06/2009 17:16

mrsmaidamess · 12/06/2009 17:30
