Have had a look and there are some lovely ones, including the red spotty one which I saw a woman wearing the other day, it looked fab on.

I feel another supermarket clothing purchase coming on.....

when we've all been out and bought one, we will be able to spot all the other mumsnetters wearing theirs, it will be like a secret mumsnetters dress code.

My Asda (which is 30 mins away) is bound to have sold out in my size by the time I get there.

no it is just the right height at the back and the straps are thick enough to cover strappage

I tried one on the other day and it looked awful on me, must be because I am a heifer

I love the red spotty one as well.

GingerIgnoramus · 01/07/2009 18:29

but the colour is VILE

cocolepew · 01/07/2009 18:29

I've got this one, very flattering.

GingerIgnoramus · 01/07/2009 18:30

and this is for hte hoedown throwdown surely

CurryMaid · 01/07/2009 18:31

What aobut the length though? They look like they might stop at the fattest part of the calf (not a good look on me)

cornsilk · 01/07/2009 18:31

I'm not keen on that pink and brown one.

cornsilk · 01/07/2009 18:31

ooooh me likey the red one!!

GingerIgnoramus · 01/07/2009 18:32

They are really vile! All of them

cocolepew · 01/07/2009 18:35

Vile smvile They're £ 8! I got the red spotty one, but am taking it back.

Lizzylou · 01/07/2009 18:36

Ignoring Ginger, have just ordered the paisley and the red spotty one

I love the red spotty one but they're sold out in my size. The ditsy floral one is nice too but I'm worried about the length as well, being a shortarse.

IkeaHighchair · 01/07/2009 19:33

Where do tehy come to (on a 5'2" body).

I love dresses but ATM they are all either too short (it needs to be below the knee) or too long as I am a shortarse.

wiggletastic · 01/07/2009 19:35

I got one the other day in anticipation of my hols and it is very flattering IMO. A total bargain.

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 01/07/2009 19:36

I saw a mum at school in the green one and it made her look enormous.

I like the red spotty one but won't be buying as I think everyone will be buying the Asda dresses.

TrillianAstrahasaJOB · 01/07/2009 19:38

I likehe red spotty one but it looks like it'll be too long - fattest part of the calf as CurryMaid said.
