Talk me out of this dress....

[Greengardenpixie]

I love it, it fits lovely but...

its too expensive - could do with my money back.
Its dry clean only.
I dont do keeping things for best so wouldnt just want to wear it
for occasions and that would cost me for dry cleaning..

and still i want to keep it. HELP!!!!

I think it looks horrible and sack like.

Does that help? :)

[burnishedsilver]

I can't see why its dry clean only.

[Greengardenpixie]

Yes, that does help!!!! Thanks :)
Its dry clean only because its viscose crepe! Its unstable in water.

[Letthemtalk]

It's hideous.

[GooodMythicalMorning]

Im not a fan. I think it would look awful after a couple of wears.

[Greengardenpixie]

Great thats it...think you are all right!!! I could do much better...off to wrap it shortly!! :) Thank you :) Thank you :) I needed to see sense.

[burnishedsilver]

I'm generally a fan of Mint Velvet but that's a very sack like dress and its too expensive for what it is.

Hallowe'en has already been and gone.

[Greengardenpixie]

ha ha ha...so good..yeh halloween has. That the problem. I kind of like gothic kind of styles!!!

[Trills]

Mint velvet models always stand in a way that make the dresses look like sacks.

Does it actually have any shape?

[FamiliesShareGerms]

I was going to say exactly what burnishedsilver said...

[WowserBowser]

I like it! What a ballache being dry clean only though - so yes, send it back!

[OhBuggeringBollocks]

I like it but you would have to be whippet thin I think - my bazookers would make the whole thing hang funny and be very unflattering

[LeoandBoosmum]

Its...ummm...very M&S. Make off that what you will.
I think you can do better, especially with all these offers on at the moment!

[LeoandBoosmum]

Just too add, it looks a bit maternity-ish.

[Fadingmemory]

I don't dislike it particularly but 'tis nothing special. Just take it back as posting here neither reduces the price nor renders it machine washable!

[BelindaAllWorkedOut]

Viscose crepe doesn't wear well. I wouldn't pay that much for viscose anything, to be honest.

[Valsoldknickers]

Agree 100% with burnishedsilver, sorry!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I think MV stuff is shockingly overpriced for the quality. And unless you are either tiny and flat chested or tall and flat chested, I really don't think it would be v flattering.

Then again, it's the sort of thing I loved about 20 years ago!

[pictish]

The zip up the front is ugly, although unlike everyone else, I like the vintage shape, and if I was Twiggy I'd be rocking it. Sadly I'm not and it would make me look like I was wearing a sack.

[longjane]

It is a sack with a zip.

And you defiantly be asked at least once a outing " when is it due"

And others will think you are having fat day.

And other will think you have put on weight and you trying to hide it.

[TSSDNCOP]

Fuck off with your £99. I'll spend that happily, but not on that.

TBH I think MV are getting a bit too try hard, and it shows with this.

[pictish]

I cannot approve of so called casual day dresses that are dry clean only.

[MakeMeWarmThisWinter]

I hate viscose with a passion, and dry-clean only for a day dress is ridiculous. It's quite a nice dress but not worth £99. Wait and see if it goes half price in the sale - even then, consider whether you'll wear it enough as the dry cleaning would put me off.

[Greengardenpixie]

Yes i agree with all the comments. Have parcelled it up and will now send it back. I cannot be doing with casual day dresses that are dry clean only..totally agree. I dont want to look pregnant!!!!! - thats for sure. I remember wearing a dress and someone saying to me..your not pregnant again. i was gutted. Thanks to everyone. Thats sealed the deal!!!
