Where can I get a nice, simple wrap dress?

[costagirl]

Because Gok says they're flattering for big boobs and bums, but I can't find many. Just want simple, jersey type for work - nothing too psychedelic or pricey!

i disagree

There were some plain coloured ones in the Gap Outlet near me last week for around £20 I think. H&M often has them too

I saw some plain black dresses in the new lands end catalogue that look nice for work (jersey I think)#
I dont recall the cost or whether they would suit bigboobsandbums though

Certainly wouldnt suit my tummy

phase eight have a sale on at the moment, they do good wrap dresses. I have one from a couple of years ago which has thick fabric

I have a lovely plain black one from Gap.

agree phase 8 are good
theirs are the only ones that haveever suited me

I also got a lovely black Gap one from Gap Outlet, but the material is quite thin, fine for me living in the tropics but a bit chilly for UK imho.

They look matronly on big boobs Gok Wan is as naff as they come don't listen to him with all his ironic 'bangers'and double entendres!

I find they make your boobs look enormous in a bad way
and cling to any spare tyre on hips or just above arse

You are probably both right, not too good for the well endowed, I have bugger all up top and wear a lot of wrap dresses, in the hope of somehow pretending to have a cleavage.

They look really elegant on flat chest I am v jealous.

Bravissimo do wrap style (fake wrap) ones quite often. They are rather pricey (£35-50) but I have heard great reviews.

I ahve a top shop one from yonks ago, I do love it, best one I've had. if you tie at front and let it hang it covers more lumpy bits I find

flipping love this and www.bravissimo.com/products/clothing/dresses-and-skirts/bravissimo/bq12-details.aspx

I've got one from White Stuff and another from Boden - both fixed wrap so I don't accidentally (or deliberately ) flash anyone.

I'm big boobed, small waisted and I think Gok's right - would post a photo but someone might tell me I've been kidding myself!

oooh, i second naomis 2nd link. my fav colour which may or may not have swayed me ;)

I have a few wrap dresses Boden Linea Monsoon etc but bought a fixed wrap in [BLUSH]Tesco last week for £16 just for work- great fit probaly a lot better than my pricier good ones.it is black with a print in damson and berry shades they also had various other ones black and white and a plum colour might be worth trying on before investing in more expensive one dunno about everyone else but I usually wear a camisole or vest underneath a I m a bit busty and sometimes the v neckline can be too much for daytime.

Thanks, girls, lots of good advice. Will try Tesco first (cheapskate!) Yes I know Gok is a bit lame but I wnat to try a wrap dress - my legs are the only decent bit of me and I get fed up with trousers!

Sometimes M&S have good ones too, I have a black and white one from 2 yrs ago, fixed wrap,and the material is thick so holds my tummy in a bit!

Agree that if you are quite booby a cami or vest top underneath is needed for the office or daytime. I am prone to nipple slips in wrap dresses.
