I've just chucked out a lot of busy print patterned dresses. I don't want to start buying them back!

Be honest ;-)

I wear dresses like that to work every day so I love them.

Bit dated.

Whether that bothers you or not is a seperate issue.

I'm wondering if the fact I felt I needed to ask for some advice says it all really!

I quite like them. Not so much the middle one.

Thanks Laurie. I'm just feeling a bit of a sense of deja vu...been there, had that.

I have an east dress, in dark maroon, busy print. If I haven't chucked it, honestly can't remember if it was one that was spared in the savage cull of two weeks ago and I don't wear it in the next week or two...then I'm probably not going to!

Certainly wouldn't buy them now, though, if I already owned them and they suited me, might consider still wearing them for some things. They're too fussy and girly for work for my taste but it all depends on the work and on personal preference.

This is more me....just not for winter ( unless it was roomy enough for sleeves)

Sadly this one only a twelve and too small.

Desigual called, they want their designs back.

If you like them buy them, people should wear what makes them happy.

No. But then I never liked those Desigual type of designs. Less is more for me.

Desigual. Yes. I knew they reminded me of something. I hope they are better finished of than some desigual dresses.

Horrible. I hate everything Joe Browns.

I love Desigual but those are horrible.

A big no from me.

Loud and dated. Just like Desigual. The polar opposite of stylish imo.

I was going to say they look a bit like some of the Roman originals styles

Yes, have to admit I too dislike Joe Brown's stuff in general. Not sure who their target audience is, but guess I'm not it.

Dated. Asos do billions of jersey dresses in plain colours which are more now.

No. None of them do anything for me.

To each their own, I guess.

I like them :) I wear things like that for work with tights and boots. I feel great in them! If you like them hen that's all that matters Smile

Just read the first one has sparkles on too, which makes it even worse in my book. (though I don't dislike very subtle sparkle for an understated festive look).
