Be honest: does this dress look like a towel?

I bought a dress online that I had been thinking about for months. It will arrive in a couple of days. It was very expensive.

However, I showed it to my friends and everyone says that it looks like a towel Shock

Be honest: is it awful? Does it look like a towel to you?

Your figure is amazing 😍 you make the dress look good! But I still don't like the dress if that makes sense 😅

You can totally get away with it and it looks good on you, but for that money you can do soooo much better.

*less towel more toilet mat

(was what I was trying to say)

It is better on you than on the models, but yes, still a towel. If it were 20 pounds I'd keep it for beside the pool, but not at the price you paid.

I'd maybe keep it, if it costed a more reasonable amount. But there is no way this is worth the money I paid for it.

It looks great on you! Looks much better than it did online.

Even the model is questioning what the hell she's wearing

Let’s face it, with that figure and those amazing legs you’d look good in just about anything. Even you can’t make that dress look good.

WeAreOnTheRoadToNowhere · 15/02/2023 18:06

It looks so much better on you than on the model but it's still awful
All down to the dress, you have a lovely figure

Whatafliberty · 15/02/2023 20:17

It looks lovely

Aquamarine1029 · 15/02/2023 20:28

Your figure is gorgeous but the dress is still shit.

Expensive though at 240USD just for that.

Kjpt140v · 17/02/2023 15:13

It does but looks more like a lounge mat/rug.

"there is no way this is worth the money I paid for it."

This is the pertinent bit, if it had been a 'cheap & cheerful' coverup for beach to cafe, yes, it would've been great, but it's not worth the money you paid for it.
