Bought two of these yesterday, looks nothing on the hangar, but on, it fits in all the right places and is perfect to chuck on after a beach day, or in an evening....I'm 5'9 size 14.

A complete bargain too at £15!

ooh tempted!

pagwatch · 29/06/2010 08:47

It is very pretty but how can you wear clinging viscose on the beach?

Won't it be very sweaty and sticky?

pagwatch · 29/06/2010 08:48

ooh.
I see now. Not on beach but post beach evening wine..

YY - very nice

southeastastra · 29/06/2010 08:52

i ordered a purple one arse mumsnet is cleaning me out!

cornsilk5793 · 29/06/2010 08:53

what colours did you get?

Maryqueenofchocs · 29/06/2010 09:10

Black and Red... I also went up a size on the red, as its an unforgiving colour, and the loose one looked better. Black was normal size though...

Oh me likes. I'm going to order two for my Holiday. One red and one blue. Do you think they have them in store? Then I wouldn't have to use my card. I need that for vet fees.

moragbellingham · 29/06/2010 09:28

Is it a bit see through or does it preserve your modesty?

cornsilk5793 · 29/06/2010 09:29

I fancy the red, blue and purple...can't choose.

Lauriefairycake · 29/06/2010 09:32

I've just ordered the red and the turquoise

I love jersey dresses - wear them every day

cornsilk5793 · 29/06/2010 09:59

me too

LimaCharlie · 29/06/2010 10:19

Ooh whats the sizing like - not sure whether to go up or down a size as I'm in the middle

natalie39 · 29/06/2010 10:19

I'm 5'9 but a size 16 - 18.
Loving that dress and only £15!!!

Not so easy for us curvy girls to find lovely, simple dresses like that, so good on M&S.

Discovered this new online store selling a gorgeous maxi dress (on sale!) I have my eye on, but never shopped online before.

Anyone my size regularly shop online? And if, where do you shop?

maxi dress

cornsilk5793 · 29/06/2010 10:20

that's gorgeous - good find

ShinyAndNew · 29/06/2010 10:22

Ooh, me likes that maxi dress too. Please stop. I will be bankrupt before the end of the day.

I'm your size, but I only ever shop at Next. I'll be ordering a M in that Maxi dress though. I'm more of a 16, than an 18 atm, I think.

MamaG · 29/06/2010 10:26

Love that dress

princessProudmel · 29/06/2010 10:36

I like it..... but I know if I wore it you'd see my breast feeding bra as it's so low cut..(yes you can wear a vest under it but that would defeat the object of wearing a cool thin dress)
Plus it would cling to/show off my post baby tummy. And you'd see the line of my knickers round my tummy.

natalie39 · 29/06/2010 11:03

Thanks for the Next tip ShinyAndNew.

I mailed Kurvs about the Maxi dress, as I didn't know whether I'd be a S or an M.
They got back to me really quickly and recommended the S as I haven't got the boobs to justify the M!!!

So, think my first online fashion purchase is on! Soooo excited!

Maryqueenofchocs · 29/06/2010 12:16

morag - Not see through, thin but not transparent.

Shiny - they had loads in store yesterday,

Lima - M&S standard M&S, I only went up a size as the red highlights imperfections more so than the black...so my own self esteem issues really!

Am feeling proud I have posted something you like.. off to have celebratory rice cake...(ob cannot now eat for 6 weeks so I can get into tankini I bought too!!)

Thanks Mary

FolornHope · 29/06/2010 16:31

is this a SCHOOL RUN DRESS?

FolornHope · 29/06/2010 16:32

i think the emdpire line would go across my tits

MamaG · 29/06/2010 16:33

I think it is a schol run dress

dotterel · 29/06/2010 16:35

is it good enough to wear off the beach??

IndigoSky · 29/06/2010 16:35

I bought this a couple of weeks ago. It's fab. Definitely school run dress and perfect for this heat. Have had loads of compliments. I am big of norkage and it's fine.

Big yy from me.
