This one

Tell me it's awful.

Telling me to buy it is no good, I cannot afford it unless I sell one of DP's kidneys (have not totally ruled that out).

Help.

I'm sorry but it's really nice Blush

Only if you are slim though.... Are you slim? If you're fat then it's a big fat NO!

I love it. Sorry. Those Valentino shoes they've paired it with are also gorgeous.

Oh God I'm no help at all - that is gorgeous!

My huge arse won't fit in Westwood clothes but I have some jewellery, accessories and bags which have been worth every penny as they are so strikingly beautiful I feel wonderful whenever I wear/use them.

Maybe the kidney option is best after all!

No, that was great, MrsRhettButler! Am not slim- am an hourglass 16. But I look good in stripes.

Oh my lord the shoes! How much are the shoes?

I do think ruby has a small point though, you couldn't wear it everywhere or people would start to talk.....

Oh if you are a 'proper' hourglass then it could work.

By proper I mean small waist

Am not sure horizontal stripes would be forgiving unless you are a size 8 Tethers! which-you-are-not Wink


And as someone else said, am not sure how often you could wear it without 'oh she's wearing that again' thoughts.

Have you got any weddings coming up? If you have 3 or more then it could be seen as 3 x hundred pound dresses?

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 05/06/2011 15:46

Are you tall, Tethers? I'm a size 12 hourglass but that dress would wear me, as I'm only 5' 2. I also agree that it is too distinctive to wear in the way that a VW black one can just be adapted for every occasion.

It's not awful by any means BUT there are nicer ones out there and it surely can't be long until the summer sales start? :)

You would see your knickers through it.

Tis expensive.

You would get bored of it.

You are too big for it.

Er, it's horrible. Really, not nice at all. How come you all like it?! Confused Do you want to look like a zebra? Lots of tall grass and lions around your way?

Seriously, that's not worth a kidney.

Oh but it's horrible.

Like a mutant zebra.

No no no.
