    I think its a very classy dress - yes its short but the colour and style make it very tasteful. And as other's have said it will be longer on anyone not 6' model tall! She's 16 for goodness sake, let her dress up without making a big fuss. Any yes the comments about her boobs do sound biatch-y (your word not mine)!

    It's a lovely dress, not OTT at all.

    Taske no notice of how it looks on the model for starters, use the measurements instead.

    She could be planning to wear two postage stamps and a carefully positioned gerbera daisy and it would still be nobody's business but hers and the marrying couple's. Stay out of it and enjoy the day!

    Before clicking the link, I pictured something out of My Big Fat Gypsy wedding, so I was pleasantly surprised when I actually saw the dress.

    I agree it's short but I also agree it depends on her height.

    I do think it could be a lot worse to be fair.

    I wouldn't fall out with your OH about it though - it doesn't seem worth that tbh. Was he serious when he thought you'd been drinking? :eek: Or was it just in exasperation because he can't understand your point of view.

    I actually think it's quite classy. As someone else has said with tights & heels would b great. She's 16 so is starting to find her own way a bit more. I would b grateful that she isn't wanting to flash both legs and chest like some do. And being a 38g myself it's hard to find something flattering so I'd b over the moonto wear something like the dress she's picked! I'm 5" 3' so it would prob b on my knees though!!!
    Please be nice to all moneysavers!

    Just to put my 2pence in... I'm the owner of 34G's and I know that for tops and dresses a like, the fabric has to compensate by going out before it comes down, so not only will it make the dress even shorter, it'll make her look like she's wearing a tent. Pretty dress, and could work for a wedding, but for a body shape with big boobs... don't think the dress is suited for it.

    i think your being ott, it looks a very nice classy dress for the wedding, and the young girls boobs will be well covered. tights would be good, , but at the end of the day she is 16 and old enough to wear as she chooses

    I love it, but agree it's short on the model on us lesser mortals it will be longer lol With black tights and a long chain and a modern fasinator in the hair it will be lovely! Might treat myself to this :)

    Her boobs will look like they're round her waist with that neckline.

    I think it does look very short but is a lovely dress. Perfect for a wedding if it does sit a bit longer on her.

    As someone whose SIL turned up to my wedding looking like a real slapper I would have been relieved to see her in this dress.
