I’m plus size and tried on the viral TikTok dress – it made me look like a joint of gammon but I still felt sexy

SHE had no idea whether or not the viral TikTok dress would fit her size 24 curves.

But Gemma decided to buy it anyway, and was left more than a little surprised when she tried it on.

She said that while the dress made her look like a “joint of gammon”, she felt sexy in it, and would happily wear it round her houseTikTok/@velvety_cleopatra

The dress clung to her figure in all the right places, and people were quick to compliment her in the comments sectionTikTok/@velvety_cleopatra
