What do people think of this dress?

[Liadan]

My sister is getting married over the summer and a picture of this dress has popped up on my Facebook feed. The boutique it's in, is about a 40 minute drive from my house and going there will steal valuable child free time. Also it's 250 euro so not cheap. I love the colours.... The grey and lime and pretty and different. But I'm not sure about the pleats... I think they look gorgeous but worry they will be unflattering... I can't decide whether to waste my previous child free evening hunting down this dress or just let it go...

Depends on your colouring it looks a bit meh to me

[manicandcrazy]

I think the dress is really nice and would be lovely for a wedding

[Dermymc]

Totally depends on your colouring. It would look awful on me, stunning on my sister and meh on my friend.

[athingthateveryoneneeds]

I like it! Go try it on and show us. :)

[LolitaLempicka]

I like the skirt bit, but the top is a bit middle aged.

[Liadan]

I am dark haired, blue eyed and will have a spray tan done for the day... I generally go for more jewel tones so this would be different... I think I'll chance going there tomorrow and try it on... Hopefully they'll have my size I should probably ring to double check

[neveradullmoment99]

I think it sounds like it will really suit your colouring.

[Hooleywhipper]

I think it’s definitely worth a try on.

[RavenLG]

I think it’s lovely. Different but subtle enough for a wedding. You could go totally clashing and get hot pink accessories or keep it in tone with the colours. If you like it OP go for it!

[Liadan]

If I go there tomorrow and purchase I'll post a picture;) I think the colour will work but I'll definitely need a tan... Thanks;)

[Dizzybacon]

I like it but with the colours you will def need the spray tan

[Graphista]

The grey would work well with the blue eyes.

I like it.

[RavenWings]

I think it's lovely but could easily look terrible on someone. Would be a great choice though, very different.

[athingthateveryoneneeds]

Oh I like the clashing accessories idea!

[SinglePringle]

I like the shape and the unusual colours.

But...

The pleats will highlight any kind of rounded stomach. Even a tiny one. Especially coupled with an exposed and defined waistline such as that. Also, the waist is quite high (most women suit it just above the hips; it accentuates the curve of the waist). And if you’ve got a full bust, I’d look for another option.

That said, if you’re a ‘straight up and down’ sort with a small bust, you’ll look amazing in it! May need a tan though...

[Heratnumber7]

Not if you have anything other that "boyish" hips. And you'd need a flat stomach.
Those pleats will show up any curves something awful.

[Celticlassie]

I love it. Very unusual, in a good way. But I reckon you'll have to be thin.

[Celticlassie]

You'd, not you'll.

[Liadan]

I'm a size 8/10 but I have hips and boobs.. I think it will also depend on the material... If it's too light it will be tougher to get away with

[greendale17]

Don’t like it

[FreeNiki]

It's very pretty. I love the tie dye colours.

[Bluntness100]

To be honest, I don't really like it, but I think you'd have to be very tall and slim to get away with it. The pleats will be difficult to pull off due to the high waist line.

[hahahaIdontgetit]

Tall slim and no curves and you'll look amazing, hips would be accentuated and that neckline is awful for big boobs (but anyone with big boobs knows that).

[Ginorchoc]

It’s really different, in a good way!

[Liadan]

Just spotted this now... I need to step off Facebook.... Too much nice stuff;)
