I like it, but those bloody shoes are awful.

It will work in a few people but I suspect is hard to pull off.

I think it's awful, sorry. Very oddly proportioned and not elegant. Anything that is as wide as it is long is always a mistake. Even for skinny people.

Ghastly, darling.

Looks like a sack or a poncho gone wrong.

I like it, but can't imagine many 'real' people who could make it work.

Love it.

Wouldn't suit me, but you say it looks amazing on you, so go for it.

I'm with your mum and Daughter I'm afraid.
It will flatter no one regardless of height weight or colouring. And if there was a gust of wind you'd be showing the world and his wife next weeks washing.
It also looks like a mini dress for vampire

I think if you love it, and love the way it looks on you, get it! I think it's something that's memorable and therefore hard to wear multiple times. It is also definitely a 'statement' - that is neither negative or positive though, it's just a fact.

I feel like you should have a superman stance wearing it but for some reason I quite like it.

This dress. Yes or no?

It's great, if you are thin and young .

I think it's a bit silly

I love it but I think you would have to be all these things to pull it off

  1. young
  2. thin
  3. funky
  4. going somewhere funky


But like I say, I love it

Haha you bloody meanies!
I'm slim, good legs, but 41. Short grey hair, asymmetrical, happy to wear different clothes - would be evening or city day with heels.

Yes, then, sounds like you can carry it off!

Not day.

Evening yes, if it looks good and you can pull it off.
