Please say yes as I think I am slowly getting the hang of this board and people are saying 'that's Ok' rather than 'geez you must be insane' sometimes

linky

Bottom right, 'Abington'

I think it could look kookily vintage. You'll need to wear chunky footwear. I personally would go for flat boots.

Does it matter if we like it or not?! As long as you like it who cares what a bunch of people you'll likely never meet and don't know your body shape/style etc will think?

if you think it'll suit you, then yes. my tits are too big for that front panel, but if you're alexa chung-y then it's charming.

No sorry, only as the crochet panels look like targets.

I see what you mean about the target norks actually. But I really like knitted dresses for some reason, is there a better one out there, if so point me at it...

Thanks for your help Marsha, they are quite nice - but I think I'm going to order the original one and see what it's like. You can order to collect from the shop which is free so that's cool

I personally don't like it as I prefer more girly dresses, but it's not hideous or awful.
