A topshop special, was looking for holiday frocks and stumbled upon it.

So, could you?

(Five year old's need not answer)

For those not stupid confident enough to go for the tutu they have a gorgeous fringed tie dye dress.

That one with the nose and the gnarled hands out of that show in Manhattan where they drink out of strange glasses and she ponces about in her pants smoking and typing dull columns. Her. She'd wear it.

It's out of stock in sizes 6, 8 and 10 but lots of 12, 14 and 16 still available for us 'larger' ladies .

Well, I could imagine pulling it off in horror, tearing at the zip and yelling 'get it off me'. Is that what you meant...?

Oh yes, I can see it now, hair in bunches, tutu dress, kooky tights and an elmo backpack.

Eurgh!

I might try it on tomorrow for fun though, think they'll have tonnes a few size 14s left

Saw two girls carrying it around in topshop earlier, very brave.

For a party, a hen night maybe, teamed with very high sparkly shoes.
I'd need a darker colour though as pale pink does not suit me.

Yes, punked up a bit with some boots and eyeliner - why not? Am I too old at 33?

Yes I could pull it off but I don't like it and would not choose to wear it. And they're out of my size anyway.

Courtney Love circa 1993 probably could.

So I went back to topshop this afternoon (it IS payday after all) and found it in black and it is lovely I tried it on and everything.

Didn't buy it but was sorely tempted.
