Wow. That model is probably a 10 at most, makes her look a 16.

God that's an awful cut. She looks massive when she's clearly not.

That's horrid! It's equally ugly and unflattering.

It's clearly a plus size dress, I don't think it looks worse than a lot of plus size dresses on some other sites Confused

Model is a size 16, the dress is unflattering though.

I had to check it wasn't a maternity dress.

Good God, it looks like the sort of maternity dress women wore in the 1980s! Hideous.

Its a plus size dress: smallest they do is a 12. Model is a 16

Not as hideous as some of the stuff I've seen suggested on here as being fashionable!

See: brown frilly sack dress doing the rounds

Reckon that's a size 8 model wearing the size 16. It'd probably actually look better on someone larger.

The dress is horrific. I defy anyone to put it on and look good.

The model looks like she is a size 12 everywhere, apart from the part that the dress is covering. It almost looks like two separate bodies merged into one. Very odd.

What a very un flattering dress, does even fit the model properly

I don't think that dress could look flattering on anyone, no matter what their shape or size.

I know nothing about fashion (and care less) Wink but even I can see that this dress is dreadful.

The woman looks slim, but the horizontal white piping lines on the waist and the frill make her tummy look out of proportion to the rest of her. Who needs a dress that makes your tummy look bigger than it is?
