Hello all, I apologise for being MIA again but coming back for your help. I'm guilty of that before as well!

I have a pear shaped figure with all the pearness (saddlebags, wide hips, heavy thighs, short legs, but most of all, a prominent large butt - about 2 dress sizes bigger than my 34A top).

I found a dress in a shop yesterday that was quite different to what I've been wearing lately, but once my eye began adjusting I found I liked it in many ways.

The problem is the skirt is voluminous and has a small print which I'm led to believe (and my eye can see) "makes a mountain out of an already large molehill" as far as my rear is concerned (quote Trinny and Susannah). The swathes of very soft fabric (I often go for more structure) also seem to add heft.

I'm on the fence and have been about 70% swayed by how the unusual (for me) neckline flatters my upper body while simultaneously conveying modesty. I also like the hemline being lower in front. The print attracts me too.

Question for poll is, should I buy it?
