Is it

A) VILE VILE VILE ARE YOU MAD?!?!?

B) Amazing. I want it.

C) All right, I suppose, if you like That Sort of Thing.

D) Personally I think it's ghastly, but then I wear lots of well-pressed clean new clothes from Isabella Oliver, and I do understand that some people wear odd patterned dresses from the 70s and who am I to judge.

Thanks in advance Grin

What shape are you? You could look all floaty and fabulous or you could look like you'd been eaten by my nanas sofa depending...

good point. I am tall, size 16ish with very small waist (hence attraction to dress of this shape). Immense hips though Hmm

It's between B & C for me. I like the design - I don't like the fabric.

(I thought the long panels on the skirt might be flattering. A bit like dazzle paint on a 50,000 ton battleship Grin)

For some reason the beginning of that last sentence looks very vulgar. Goes to get more Wine

Sorry. But it's never going to make someone look their best!

oooo, a bid in favour. I have to say the more I look at it the more I love it. It's 70s but also a tiny bit late Edwardian....

No no I need all views Panda!

It wouldn't be maxi on me (or indeed anyone over 5 foot 3 Hmm) It'd be slightly below mid calf I think...
