oh I'm sorry I don't like it at all. I really wanted to when I clicked the link. Don't let that put you off though, we probably just have different taste Smile

I don't like it either, I'm afraid.

I like it. Quite a lot. Dress up or down.

I like it but the neckline is quite high. If your boobs are small enough to carry it off go for it!

Sorry no- like a kids tv presenter rig out. I do struggle with Zara- the odd thing I like but the quality is poor.

I like it but couldn't wear it myself, it'd not do my hips any favours!

I think it looks pretty unflattering honestly

I get the need for a short, 80's inspired print, dress but I'd prefer something like this.

Warehouse have one called 80s Batwing Bold Floral Dress but it won't link, it's a different style though

I like the shape but not the print.

What's with the birkinstock arizona look-alikes, are they making a come back?!? I saw them on the urban outfitters website the other day too.

Just to add some more regarding the shape, I think it depends on your shape, if you have good legs then I think this shape is good. If you have a waist/ hips then it's not so good. I love this style dress but it doesn't do me any favours. Cos do a lot of this style dress but I'm not sure you'd get a print from them?

If a dress looks bad on a model definitely don't buy it. Zara dress falls into this category for me.

Have you looked at the & other stories website? I like Zara and also like lots on this site.

Thanks everyone. I am a size 10 on top and size 12 on hips. Shift dresses normally suit me better. My legs arent that bad! Need something for the weekend for dinner with the girls.

I prefer the Zara dress, but only if worn with heels! Orange ones would be lovely.

Those sandals on the model are outrageous Shock

I do like the mango one mrslettuce linked. I think the first one reminded of the bam pow etc from the batman and robin cartoon strip somehow Grin

Zara one: 80s in the most awful way, hate it.
Warehouse one: Love!

The warehouse one you linked would be perfect for that, I'd say.

Zara dress looks awful on the model so I wouldn't touch it. Love the warehouse dress.

I like them ( not for me due to norkage) I'd give a nod of approval if I met you out in that

It could be knockout depending on how you style it.
That brush stroke look is very 'in' I believe Wink
