House of fraser have lot's of nice ones .http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-hof-Site/default/Search-Show?q=maxi%20dress

Ok some are a b it above my price range but I still think I would look stupid in one as I don't really have a great figure , as in size 16 , loads of lumps , fat bingo wings (endless list really) I may be better off with something a little more expensive . Jersey would be no good on me at all .would need something a little more skimming and a material that falls nicely .

I saw a lady in tesco yesterday .She was a similar shape to me and had a puffy ,tiered type flowery one on .It was so NOT a good look on her .

Re: Maxi dress - so have you bought one?

I've just inherited a one from a friend, she said it kept trying to kill her, wrapping itself round her ankles or trying to trip her up... :rofl

All the ones I have tried on in the past made me look preggers but this one is gorgeous. She bought it from a local designer shop ( they cut out the tags so u never know what designer it is) for £25. I saw the exact same one in Hose of Frazer for £90, bargain.

Re: Maxi dress - so have you bought one?

I've had mine hemmed as it was an inch or so too long. If I wear a heel with it, the heel catches in the back but I can wear wedges or flat sandals with no probs. However, with the temps in Turkey at the moment, I've more or less decided to leave it at home. If it was made of light cotton it would be ok but it's a sort of thin stretchy material :think

Re: Maxi dress - so have you bought one?

girls, I just got one from an independant boutique in my town and it just reminds me of one my mum used to wear in the 70's when I was a kid !! I always thought it was gorgeous and thought that when I was a grown up I'd get myself one, so now I have !
A snip at £18, this one has short sleeves and a gypsy type top, empire line with a long floaty bottom ( the dress, not me :rofl

), lots of big, purple flowers on it, feel a bit 'princessy' in it !

Re: Maxi dress - so have you bought one?

juby - it sounds ver similar to the one my mum wore to my engagement party, except it was a deep green colour, and more of a courtelle material. When it went out of fashion we all used to say it looked like a pair of curtains :rofl

- not that I'm saying yours does :think

Re: Maxi dress - so have you bought one?

I finally bought one, not for holibags though.

Its a wee bit long but with heels or wedges it will be fine.

When i get on the computer i will post a link.

From New Look, pink, blue, white and sparkley, was £30.

Re: Maxi dress - so have you bought one?

Ive just bought 2 one from h&m as they only do a size 6 that actually fits me, and one I sent back it was petite range im 5ft 2, and size 6 and it was still to long and massive, il wait til I get over to spain and buy some there I already own 3 so Im not rushing spanish sizes tend to fit me better as I think alot of spanish girls / woman tend to be small in height.

Re: Maxi dress - so have you bought one?

I bought one from E-bay last week- advertised as a size 10 petite. I'm 5'2 and the length was great, came to just on the ankle BUT it was so loose that it would have fitted me if I was 6 months pregnant :duh

my niece WHO IS pregnant is going to try it but I know now that it will be too short for her.

Re: Maxi dress - so have you bought one?

I've got 3 nice ones I bought last summer, and they are still going strong. I'm hoping they'll stretch a bit longer around my baby bump.
