I really like it, but only in that that pattern (brown one if it doesn't come up)

i love fly shoes, they are sssoooo comfortable [ mummy comment]

Bratnav you are a wicked influence! I have just ordered some shoes from that site having followed your link.

We haves tred s near us, those shoes are GOP tho

really like the dress (though i would be going for the blue polka dots!)the grat thing about what is worn for the school run, is, surely, that you could be going on to better things after....

Oooh and DSs Christening next month.

Coderoo - GOP?

She means gopping ie minging. Translation = horrible. HTH

the big girls don't like my new shoooes

sorry mate

I think I love the dress - does it have a bow or not - I don't do bows.

My sister wore that for her daughter's birthday party last week, in blue with flowers.

She looked absolutely beautiful in it, nicest I've ever seen her look, and she usually looks pretty fab.

I hotfooted it to Joules the very next day for the spotty version but they didn't have my size.

I haven't given up, though...

Am going to London on Tuesday and intend to try on the boat one - I am not holding out much hope for my 32Es though, after the comments on here.

I think it looks like a lovely dress, brat

It's pretty, but I have developed an aversion to Boden and Joules and tend to lump them all together in the 'slightly twee' category. This is mostly irrational and entirely my own issue though!

I would say its nice, safe and hence cool for 'out and about stuff' when you want to look nice but not stand out too much IFYSIM.

It's pretty, but bit a bit too frou frou for me personally.

Possibly I'm not keen because I don't have norks. It's also got quite a lot of emphasis on the hip area....

I bought the boat version on friday - really hoping it has some stretch as I'm an F cup. I'm wearing it for a seduction attempt theatre trip, with red patent shoes and pin curls/victory rolls 40s styling.

Love the 40s styling ideas. I saw today that M&S Autograph are doing seamed stockings, if you wanted to go the whole hog! Is the boat dress blue or black?

navy blue i think and yes seamed stockings! I have a giant white hair-flower that is going with. hoping for a nice girdly type tummy-tamer as well. theatre is in two weeks - was always brought up by theatre loving mum to dress up for theatre - it's part of the occasion.

Absolutely - I hate it when I meet friends at the cinema and they are in jeans.

Thought you might like this cute lady!

I meant theatre - not cinema.

ooh! i do thank you! I like the fedora lounge as well - great forties styling tips.

This is the sort of thing that I would lean over and my norks would fall straight out!

Would have to wear a vest under it or tape them in!

Only wear if you have small non moving norkage I would say.

Oh dear - my norks move (just tried!). I may be doomed.
