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?

George Home (asda) could do similar for a tenner.

I'm sorry but I think it does look like a towel
You have an honest friend, which is the best friend to have

CarpetSlipper · 13/02/2023 22:16

Yes it looks cheap and towel like.

Fuckthatguy · 13/02/2023 22:17

Tis a beach cover up m’dear!

2023gulp · 13/02/2023 22:18

Yep sorry

HeddaGarbled · 13/02/2023 22:19

Tis a beach cover up without the covering-up aspect

ALongHardWinter · 13/02/2023 22:20

Er....yes,it does rather.

namechangeforthisbleep · 13/02/2023 22:22

I like it

larkstar · 13/02/2023 22:22

Bathmat! Is it all white, rubbery and non-slip on the inside?

Sorry but from the photos yes - have you got it and does the material actually look much nicer close up?

niugboo · 13/02/2023 22:23

Defo towel.

FlissyPaps · 13/02/2023 22:26

At least try it on when it gets here OP😂

It’s a lovely colour but the material ……

piedbeauty · 13/02/2023 22:26

It doesn't sit very nicely, does it? Look at all the creases! And yes, looks like a beach cover-up. Sorry!

SomersetDreams · 13/02/2023 22:30

dressing gown....aterial for a club...it looks cosy why not :)

BarVibes · 13/02/2023 22:31

If you're dark skinned, tall and thin I think it would look great. But not for that price. And probably only on holiday.

fruitbrewhaha · 13/02/2023 22:32

two hundred quid! It looks like something from shein. It doesn’t look like a holiday dress either tbh. If you’re going somewhere very hot you’ll want something floaty. Close fitting in tropical temps are sweaty.

TrashyPanda · 13/02/2023 22:43

Sorry, but it looks really cheap and nasty material.

More one of wee mats that goes around the toilet than bath mat I’d say.

I was wondering what it reminded me of

TangledUpinBlu · 13/02/2023 22:55

Lovely colour, but you could get something much nicer and more comfortable and expensive looking for that price.

user1477391263 · 13/02/2023 22:58

It looks like a towel except that all my towels are a lot bigger than that! Face wash cloth would be closer.

BitOutOfPractice · 13/02/2023 23:00

In the instagram picture the model looks, as my mother would charmingly put it, like a bag of rags tied up in the middle.

it doesn’t look expensive at all.

sorry op.

xprincessxjanetx · 13/02/2023 23:01

It's a very expensive cleaning cloth, sorry OP!

AffIt · 13/02/2023 23:02

£200!!! Jesus Christ.

And to the PP who pointed out that the cut-out looks like the mat that goes round the loo, thank you not thank you, that's all I can see now. 😄

OP, look on the bright side, your very honest friend is a keeper and has saved you here,

MrsXx4 · 13/02/2023 23:02

What on earth do you like about it? It’s not even flattering on the models!
