This dress + apple shape= Yes, Or Hell no!?

I really, really like this dress but don't know if it will be horribly unflattering on me. ( Have a new larger shape since Ds was born, and still not sure how to dress it! )

I have a podgy stomach, huge norks and a bum which isn't so much big, as sticky outy, but I like my legs ( when they are in tights!)

Is this completely wrong for me? Please help a loser who hasn't had a proper night out in years!

I'm an apple and I would definitely wear it. its gorgeous. The waistband bit will draw your tummy in. Go for it!

brandonsflower · 20/11/2009 10:28

ooo it's v nice.
I am an apple an i would wear it.

Nice low v neck to accuntuate cleavage, will give you a waist, tummy is covered and it shows off your legs-a perfect apple dress maybe?

it does look very short though, so you would need to be very confdent about your legs.

and arms are covered (a plus for me)

and I like zip at the back.

v good, tick tick tick.

Thanks BaronessBarbaraKingstanding, the long sleeves was the deal clincher for me

That's a bit old fashioned for my liking.

I'm an apple and this dress is really flattering.

I wore it with a shrug type cardigan and got tons of complients on it. It's totally tummy skimming.

Thanks for that link Ghouls- that dress is gorgeous! Going into town on Friday so will call into next.

Oh no that will be dated before you get it home!

I like the dress and it will flatter BUT you wont get away with it next year. It's a definite one hit wonder and depending on your age you risk looking like you're very old fashioned.

Ghouls - I have that dress. Love it I bought it when pregnant and is perfect for fat days: makes your tummy disappear!

Thankyou everyone, and thanks Ghouls for the link- I live right behind next so will pop in and try that one on!

I've already ordered the Oasis one, due tomorrow- will try it on, and hope for the best, but feel happier now I have another in mind for back-up!
It'll most likely only be worn once anyway, I go out so rarely even timeless fashion dresses are out of fashion before I get to wear again!

Thanks again!
