What do you think of this dress?

[QueenoftheAndals]

I've been invited to an "80s Glam" party next weekend and have nothing to wear. I spotted this dress online but am wondering if it looks a bit cheap? I'm 5'9, size 10-12, good legs and decent boobs once they've been wrangled!

That dress is lovely and with your figure you'd probably look a stunner in it. But I have seen it in the window displays of both New Looks near me and I'd worry that others at the party would wear the same.

How about sequins?

[QueenoftheAndals]

I should probably add that I've just turned 40, but pass for early 30s on most days, or so friends and lovers tell me!

Dress is lovely the model looks unwell though far too thin across her breastbone.

[AndNowItsSeven]

And her bones jutting out, new look sensitive out a bad message as lots of teenagers shop there.

How about adding some 80's shoulder pads to it!

[Oblomov16]

I really like it. My only concern is that it is very low cut, so how would you wear a bra?

[QueenoftheAndals]

I think I need to try it on first. I have a bit more frontage than the model!

[LuckySantangelo1]

You can get bras that sit really low and then tape it to the dress. Mine came from M&S.

I think it's fun for a fancy dress party. Yes it does look a bit cheap but for a fancy dress party I wouldn't worry.
Oh and I think the model looks fab

[LifeLong13]

When I saw it in the shop it was super short! As in I'm 5ft 6 & it wouldn't cover my vag!

[A1Sharon]

Yes, it's pretty short and I'm 5'8", I don't think I could sit down in that!
I love an 80s party though, have fun!

[brodchengretchen]

Yes, it looks a bit cheap, but the 80's were like that, I was there!
Team it with a blingy belt, back comb your hair, over-rouge your cheekbones in a dark colour and if you can find some conical heels you'll be a shoo in for first prize. Have enormous fun! Ooh, glitter dust on the cleavage and some YSL Opium too!

[CantChoose]

There was really similar one in Dorothy Perkins recently which looks like a smarter fabric but I can't see it on the website currently. Might be worth a look in store - though I think the one you posted looks pretty perfect for the party theme!

[neveradullmoment99]

Its horrible and cheap and looks like foil. With your figure you could do better.

[QueenoftheAndals]

I quite liked this one too, guess I could add shoulder pads to 80s it up. I don't usually shop at New Look but I saw these in the window of one near my work.

That gold dress is insanely gorgeous. I'd wear it if I had the figure.
