Holiday dress

I need your help! I'm looking for a dress (or 2) for holidays - city break teamed with few days at beach. I'm a size 18, 5ft 9ish, good boobs, alright legs but big bum/tum. Am looking for a comfy day dress which I will look sensational in. Halternecks/sleeveless are out because of bra necessity! HELP!!

Would you consider a maxi with proper straps?

notyummy · 31/05/2010 20:27

Also, what sort of budget?

Any colour likes/dislikes?

yes would consider maxi dress with straps. Budget? Would prefer as cheap as possible but I suppose up to about £60ish.

Maam - does the jersey fabric not cling to every lump or bump?

Like the jewel Phase 8 dress ggirl

notyummy · 31/05/2010 20:35

Reasonably priced maxi here

ggirl - would be lovely if they didn't have the buckle/fancy stuff down the middle.

Notyummy - think I've decided I'm too old for a short dress? 35?

Pah! Thats not old. Just above the knee? But obviously its got to be something you feel comfy in!

How about this?

I've just bought it, thought it was a complete bargain, really pretty and can wear with with a waist belt also for a funky look!
