That Topshop cutaway dress that someone posted a few pages back is sooooo wrong, I totally agree with you!! Not very nice material either! Their stuff is very hit or miss and a tad overpriced for my liking.

Just bought this on eBay, me likey! What do you all think? xo

Oh, I'm getting so behind on here! I've been so busy workwise I haven't had any time for posting - not that I'm wearing anything vaguely inspiring with this rotten horrible weather. It snowed here last night and this morning, and we've got a couple of inches lying, but when I got to work, a matter of around 5 miles, nothing!! I'm getting a bit fed up with winter gear.

Got some fab charity shop bargains on Saturday. There was an any three items for £4 offer on and I picked up the most gorgeous grey wool coat (I think it's 40s/early 50s) with a nipped in waist and big fur collar, a Harris Tweed overcoat for oh, and a cream cotton lace shell top.

Anyway, just a flying visit to say hope everyone's fine, and I've got to dash again. Hopefully might be able to get back on here later!

is it a topshop one retro?? i have a few like that from last year, which i love, and usually find that a strapless bra in a back size that's too big is ok for them, as i can then manoeuvre the strap lower than the cut of the dress..

No its only from Peacocks got it in the sale for the princely sum of 4 squid lol

tara, that's a fab dress, what a gorgeous print. It would make me look like a sofa though! lol

daisy thats a good thing - catch up on missed sleep whilst you can

tara, that dress is fab

and i think i had a similar peacocks one retro, it was white with pink and red floral print, not sure what i did with it - assume i sold it lol..i think either a strapless bra with a bit of slack in it, so that you can position it out of the way, is probably best for summer, or a contrasting top undrerneath if you're planning to brave it in this kind of weather!

Glad you ladies like the dress (or are you only saying that lol).

I like that New Look dress retro, wouldn't wear it without a cardi though, which would defeat the purpose of the pretty back! ha ha
