The yellow is stand-out fab.

Yes, I think the green is too big. I don't like it enough to feel bothered to try a smaller one.

I'm nervous about the yellow (having wanged on about yellow for months). Like, would I only wear it on a blazing hot day/holidays? Its quite an acidic yellow.

Well yes, but there's nothing wrong with having something in your wardrobe for seriously hot days only (here or abroad).

I really, really like the blue! I think you'd get more wear out of it. The shape really suits you.

I think it's the shade of yellow that is making me like it less. It would be nice for holidays though.

To be fair, I already have the lemon dress, a dress with french-riviera like images on it (sounds hideous but its nice), the red sainsburys dress I got a few weeks ago, and probably some others, which really only get used on hot days. Can I justify another.

Yes, same. I just want it to be ever so slightly more egg-yolk/sunshine yellow.

I really like the yellow.
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

I like it too. It could be warmer, but it's nice.

I tried this on in All Saints and loved it but at £98, it's so not worth the money. I am also super skint this month. I may wait and see if it goes in the sale :(

I've seen similar for far less in H&M.

Oh, why not?

I don't know. I am not fond of a wrap front which could be colouring my view- I think it can look quite matronly. I also think the yellow is too acidic. Says the woman who posted a £100 dress which looks like a long t-shirt with a knot in it :lol:

It doesn't look matronly on you, I hasten to add :panic:

As someone once said to me, I think there are nicer things out there.

I can look matronly in cross tops, its a fair point about them.

I think I definitely want one of them. I think it will be the blue one, although it being more than twice the price is a bit annoying.

I am not personally keen on the All Saints T Shirt, but you totally carry off things like that. £98 does seem extortionate, though.

I think the blue is definitely nicer and is pretty on.

Yes, the dress is not worth the money, even I am not that daft :lol: I've never seen anything that nice in H&M and I am in there a lot.

Actually, it's not all that similar. :))

I admire your optimism there Pip, but no it's not really :)) . I would look completely ghastly in that and all :cry: Nicely bunched round my spare tyre. When I tried the All Saints one it actually draped really nicely and didn't make a feature of my lumps and bumps.
