Right!! I have bought this one and can advise that it is stretchy, so should go over big boobs ok. BUT, it is totally unforgiving on the tummy area. I got it in a size 8 (it's a perfect fit) and will be wearing it with light control pants! My tummy is not washboard flat (after 3 children!) and in this dress there is nowhere for a mummy tummy to hide as it is clingy.

chatter - thanks, i def won't be buying then! i have a very unwashboard like tummy and need to hide my mummy tummy - thank you, i was wavering slightly, credit card firmly in wallet now.

Yeah, tbh, I am not so sure about it. It looks gorgeous on, really lovely. But I need to breathe in the WHOLE time i am wearing it. Not really what you want! Was going to wear it to a family do next weekend but am worried that by the time I have eaten a 3 course meal tummy will really not look so good at all, lol...

Usually use my industrial strength control pants with things like this, but come home with legs almost numb as restricted blood flow NOT good.

Industrial strength may well help me with the 3 course lunch. Think I will look into getting some...
