Does this dress look horrible?

[MaryPoppinsPenguins]

I’m (supposed to be) going to DH’s Christmas party tonight. It’s black tie, 4 course meal.

I bought a beautiful dress.. they didn’t have my size in the shop so I ordered it online and it didn’t come 😭 I had ordered a spare which also didn’t come!

I just emergency bought this and now I’m home I just think.. I can’t go in this 😬

It’s longer at the back than the front. (And looks a bit weird as I’ve just pushed my bra straps down)

What do you think? 🤞

Love the dress ! Where is it from? You look great x

You can definitely dress that up! Hair up, sheer tights, high heals and a shoe matching / toning wrap / pashmina wrapped around you when you go in. Pearls would work too. I personally think simple is underrated. A before you go pic would be fab

I agree with the other suggestions about accessories, and definitely sheer tights, and possibly higher heels if they won't be too uncomfortable - I think you will look lovely with your hair up, as well! But what I wanted to say was that you clearly have a most beautiful smile which makes whatever you're wearing look extra-special! Have a great evening!

(Dear Lord, I sound like my mother!)

I think you look great.
Do you need the tights (you have fab legs!!!)

As others said, its nice. But just nice. Needs a lot of glitz to make it pop!

You look great!

I really love your Xmas tree and decorations!

Hair up, sheer tights and sparkly necklace earrings and you will look Fab.

I LOVE your tree btw.

This thread is funny. Page 1 - nude tights and dress it up it will look great. Page 4 - nude tights and dress it up will look great.

Yes I agree that you can definitely dress that up and will look lovely!

You look fab! Have a great time!

Can you tell me where you got it please

The picture doesn't really do it justice I don't think, once you have dressed it up you will look lovely.

Have a great time!

its a dress you can dress up, I am sure you will look lovely OP

I agree,you look fab.

I like the dark tights with the black dress to keep the illusion of height,, and hair up, sparkly long earrings, higher heeled shoes if you can manage them, a pashmina or shawl, and...Cinders will go to the ball!
Whatever you decide, I'm sure you'll have a great time,OP

You look beautiful.

Maybe a wee belt, but black just to nip it in a the waist a wee bit

Needs balance nude tights to match top half and jewellery

As virtually everyone else has said, dressed up a bit it will be fine. And we need to see the final look!

you look lovely OP, I like it

You look lovely OP!

I think you will look lovely, esp once you dress it up as others have said and ditch the opaques.

No necklace with that neckline.

Thanks everyone! (I wish I had seen the deleted comment ) I have hair up, sheer tights, sparkly earrings and higher shoes!

When I’m not in a very dark cab I’ll try and send a pic..

Thanks for the Christmas tree love! My kids ask for a different themed tree for their toy room every year, it’s our tradition

Thanks also for the moral support.. it felt like a nightmare when my beautiful dress didn’t show up!

It's black, you'll be fine.

It's lovely on you. Put some bling on. Have fun!

I think it looks lovely and really suits you.
