Most flattering/unflattering dresses ever!!

Im going on a cruise shortly and bought two dresses from Phase Eight. I am a busty 14. This one www.phase-eight.co.uk/fcp/prodct/warehouse/Dresses/Rene-Dress/200940731?colour=red is probably the most flattering dress I have ever tried on. It makes me look almost slim!! It will be great on an evening, I was thinking with gold?

On the other hand, this one www.phase-eight.co.uk/fcp/product/warehouse/Dresses/Amelia-Dress/201043001?colour=multi looks bloody awful and Im really disappointed. It knots really low down making my boobs look further south than they already are. Dreadfull, I wouldnt recommend it. Which means now, Im off to find a replacement for it. So many of their dresses have high necks and thats not flattering for a bigger girl!!

Flattering one

BitOfFunInTheQuattro · 25/05/2010 18:52

Looks fab- wish I could justify the expense. Maybe next month, for Reality's wedding?

traceybath · 25/05/2010 18:54

Oh the flattering one is gorgeous and yes - definitely with gold or a bit of leopard print even. But then my tastes run to trashy

brimfull · 25/05/2010 18:55

I tried that stripey one on as well , thinking it would suit my ample bosom.
It was freaky the way it made me look like a sack of lumpy washing .

Its a formal night on the boat. I need a good push up bra!! BOFINTQ there is a 20 percent off code which is still working.

Ooh, ooh, that is tempting- get thee away, satan

brimfull · 25/05/2010 19:00

i bought this for shmoozing on a cruise

traceybath · 25/05/2010 19:01

Oh go on BOF - you've got to love a red dress.

Yeap gold sandals and a leopard clutch would be how I'd wear it. Very samantha is satc.

kittya · 25/05/2010 19:03

Oh, I did notice that!! what does it look like on? I bet you are very slim. BOF with the discount I think you can jusify it as you will get loads of wear out of it.
