Congratulations to Lollyheart and Princesstoadstool who are going to have the very first MNTV makeover!!

Now we need all your expert advice to sort out their style!

Lollyheart would like shopping advice for the norks area (first time I've used that word!). So, if you're blessed in the upstairs dept, where do shop and what styles do you go for to make the best of your ample bosom?? She wants a great dress for a big evening out that's coming up soon. Click here to see Lollyheart's profile.

Princesstoadstool wants advice on how to dress the post baby tum area. Click here to see her profile. Stuck in a rut having finished work, she's bored of her jeans and t-shirts. So, how can she disguise your everso slightly wobbly bits and avoid her uniform of jeans and t's??

Tell us shops names, styles, items etc and we're going to gather them all together and have a good old trying on session, and come up with the best outfit. With expert advice on hand too!

Look forward to them.....

Thanks!

How large are your norks Lolly? to some a DD is large to others they'te talking G cups, what are we talking? Also waht are your hips and waist like? Do you have a waist are your hips raltively small to norks?

have you got the bra thing sorted? I went into bravissimo a 34DD and came out a 32F!

Bravissimo have some good party dresses in at the moment (I can't do links, why?/damn I can't 'copy' the http address) the best one they had though has sold out, it was a strappy dress with lace slip over, long sleeved, wallis are doing one very similar.

Important thing is to buy somehting you can waer a bra with!! This is very dispaointing as it rules out half the party clothes, but be ruthless it's worth it in the end.

Also Wallis doing alovely v neck paisly dress, good for boobs, I think I'm going to buy. (if someone knows what i'm on about and can link please do!)

also, I think strapless is a no no. I find this hard to let go, I have 2 strapless dresses which are gorgeous but i know I don't look my best in them.

But do as I say, not as I do!!

PrincessToadstool ~ I'm so pleased you liked the dresses I linked to. My Grazia voucher and I are off to try the Oasis dress in the Iris colour tomorrow. Have you tried anything on yet or are you going to wait until the MNTV makeover?

Lollyheart ~ I'm sorry the dress I linked to wasn't quite what you were after. I think I was swayed by the gorgeous colour and knowing you were going for a meal I wasn't thinking of anything too dressy. Love the colour of the Monsoon dress that JackieNo linked to. Is there a particular colour you have in mind and do you mind having your arms on show or would you prefer sleeves?

Princesstoadstool - I reckon you might be able to dress that velvet dress down with a thin, long-sleeved t-shirt underneath and boots. Though the dress is dry clean only, sadly, which probably makes it better for special occasions, when it's less likely to get covered in baby sick/yoghurt/fluff .

lollyheart · 16/11/2009 20:44

Hello.

Ok my bra size is 34hh

I would say i have a small waist.

Im not fussed about the colour but not black.

I am really not that fussy, i just want a dress that looks nice and does'nt make me look to fat

I love the 2nd monsoon dress that JackieNo linked

BaronessBarbaraKingstanding · 16/11/2009 20:45

Princesstoadstool, I hope this makeover gives you your confidence and va voom back.

Your post probably summarises how amny of us feel about our bodies after children, we need to realise that we can still look good and dress well amd enjoy clothes and our bodies even though they've changed. Soemtime that hard to accept, but if you look around you'll realise most of us are in the same boat.

Hope this goes well for you and you feel fab at the end!!.

lollyheart · 20/11/2009 09:34

Does anyone have any more tips and advice for us?

lollyheart · 21/11/2009 11:46

Oh I love guessing games.

So, clues so far are... the stylist was male and is famous for wearing floral shirts.

Noel Edmonds? Chris Evans?

Can't wait to see the show and the results!

Amandoh · 25/11/2009 18:57

Aah, I think I know who it is from the clue mmmmwine has given. I might have seen him on tv This Morning.

I'm so daft. I Googled "Male stylist floral skirts" No wonder the results were a bit odd.

If it is who I think it is then I bet PrincessToadstool and Lollyheart had a brilliant day with him.

skoody · 25/11/2009 20:31

hahahah thats me!!!!!
