To help matters further, I prefer the yellow but only just and would get both if you could because I think they'd serve different purposes. But whilst I love the wrap top I think the cut at the bottom is a bit stern. The cut, though, not you, you make it look lovely.

I've come back for a second look and I think you look incredible in both playsuits. The green top is nice enough, but maybe not wow enough if it needs to be wow to be kept.

Oh, thank you. Thats very kind.

I'm keeping the blue, the yellow :cry: and the green top are going back. The yellow is almost fluorescent in real life (to my eye) and its just too much. I'm giving up on finding a yellow dress because I've tried about 10 on since the spring and turned them all down, its just not meant to be. The green just didn't do much for me I don't think.

I do think you look lovely in the yellow but I also understand the BRIGHT fear.

This is the dress I meant for Mrs D. It's still not that similar. :))

It looks similar to one I was coveting in J Crew today!

Oooh, I like that Pip. It's not massively dissimilar. I showed the All Saints one to a load of Turtles at the weekend and they were all fairly unimpressed :)) Is that from H&M?

I like the cut and the colour but am not keen on the belt, it kind of takes over. You could definitely remove and replace with a nice, thin silver one or something.

I like that Smal.

Yes, H&M. I knew I'd not gone completely mad. :))

It's nice but I think it swamps you a bit.

I think it swamps you too and I think it's a bit Edwardian school teacher.

I was thinking Amish - I like shirts made out of fine-striped cottons, but a whole dress, especially in a shirtwaister style is quite a lot...

I was also thinking Amish. I bought something similar but sleeveless in a sale once and got rid of it after a year or so as I never really wore it.

Shorter sleeves/rolled up sleeves would be better.

I bought it because I couldn't decide and I was in a rush. I loved it on the mannequin (well, no shit?) and love the principle of it (I don't really care if it is a Amish looking), but the thing I was least sure about was whether it was too long/generally volumous.

With an alternative belt

.

Probably needs to be more fitted around the top. Meh. :mad:

I really like it and think it works with the belt but then I like things which are quite voluminous and not very fitted. I think it suits you.

My sister's comment: I like it, it's prim. You suit prim.

:lol:

I wish I'd tried the next size down but it was M&S (I NEVER shop in M&S) and was thrown by the sizing (the next size down is a size I'd never normally fit into). I'll go back later in the week and try it, though I'm not ruling out the 10.
