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?

I think it's perfect as a beach dress. Really cute.

No. But it does look cheap and I don’t think it could be made to look classy.

ElliF · 13/02/2023 20:47

Lol. Bathroom mat.
I want thinking Love Island try hard.

A towel from the market.

ValerieDoonican · 13/02/2023 20:48

It might look better on you if your figure is better than those models'? <clutches a bit of a straw>

you might as well at least try it on....

Nicecow · 13/02/2023 20:49

I think it would look better with a bugger bust, it looks quite shapeless?

Flymetothetoon · 13/02/2023 20:50

It's the s

Dunnoburt · 13/02/2023 20:50

I may be really old fashioned but I have one of those in fuschia pink that sits around the base of my toilet......yes.....looks like a towell, sorry OP x

LadyJ2023 · 13/02/2023 20:51

It looks like one of those micro cloth things

Flymetothetoon · 13/02/2023 20:52

Sorry hit send too soon. It's the exact same colour as my bath sheet so I could replicate that look for around 15 quid.

Benjispruce4 · 13/02/2023 20:54

I wouldn’t have thought towel unless you’d put that thought in my head. But it does look a bit cheap. You can probably find that on PLT for £8.

Moser85 · 13/02/2023 20:54

Kind of but I don't think I would have thought if if you hadn't pointed it out!

HyacinthineMacaw · 13/02/2023 20:55

It takes quite a lot for a dress to look bad on a model, but this somehow pulls it off. Interesting that it doesn’t actually fit any of the women in your pics, OP - it might be that if your figure is a bit fuller and with more bust, that it would fit correctly and you’d pull it off. But it does still look more bathroom than ballroom.

Benjispruce4 · 13/02/2023 20:55

Having posted, if I looked like those models in it, I’d be wearing it! 😀

I imagine it would look even cheaper lol

NathanielSitsOnASpike · 13/02/2023 20:56

If you have a spectacular figure with huge, gravity-defying breasts, and amazing posture, it would probably look great. But then - literally anything would. (And also, I don't want to be your friend.)

Time40 · 13/02/2023 20:56

It does but a very nice towel

I was going to say that! Nothing wrong with an attractive towel, OP.

NewNovember · 13/02/2023 20:57

It looks more like a blanket to me. I love the colour though.

Eatentoomanyroses · 13/02/2023 20:57

Yes unfortunately it does look like a towel

JazzyGeoff · 13/02/2023 20:57

Super absorbent though 👍🏼

keepcalm11 · 13/02/2023 20:58

I beg to differ , I think it could fit the bill for Island holiday dress 😁

category12 · 13/02/2023 20:58

It's alright for a holiday.

Heartsandbirds · 13/02/2023 20:58

It certainly covers a lot less than my towel.
