Well - if you do get one Shrimpy, take your measurements and give the shop a call to check what size you need. The sizings are very strange at Vivien of Holloway (presumably because they're made to vintage patterns) - they are very flattering dresses and worth the money, esp as you don't need to wear a bra with them as they're boned and support even larger ladies well. (I always find the whole thing of finding suitable bras for strappy / halter dresses a complete bloody nightmare! - well, any bra shopping is horrendous to be honest.)
