I love it, but worried it looks like I'm wearing a slip?

Will people be laughing behind my back thinking I forgot to put clothes on? Wink

(Also I know it's out of stock but its all over ebay)

Its a bit Dorien Green

It looks like a slip

Now, using word slip dates me

ElsaMoFoQueen · 26/01/2015 20:36

I'd wear it. Is that size 4 still available on ebay ?

Yes Smile

Oh now I might have to buy it ! I've spent enough already this month !

TSSDNCOP · 26/01/2015 20:38

It's the dress Rachel in Friends wore when she met Joshua's parents Grin

WowserBowser · 26/01/2015 20:39

Ha, yes!

ElsaMoFoQueen · 26/01/2015 20:39

I think that it is only get-away-with-able (!) if you are under 25, size 10 or under and have self supporting (and smallish) boobs. Anything other than that and it would look a bit slapperish (sorry, but you asked!).

Whoops I'm 27 and a size 12.

But I'm currently on a diet so Smile

Anyway I've just bought it!

Hopefully a jacket would tone down the slapperish look

I wouldn't worry I've seen loads on ebay.

And maybe you'd need a size 6? The reviews are suggesting a size up.

if you are over 15 and size 8 step well away

USA not ready.

But maybe in Europe Wink

I hate assigning age to things.

I think people should just wear what the hell they want to.

Dear heavens, Chloe should definitely have gone a size up, and judging from her expression she knows it. It's a lovely colour though.

TheFairyCaravan · 26/01/2015 20:53

I think Charlotte looks lovely in it.

IsabellaofFrance · 26/01/2015 21:06

I do think it looks more dress like in Green.

laughingmyarseoff · 26/01/2015 21:06

Wow that same dress looks very different on those two, Chloe's taller from the looks of things and she's not all that comfy in it or she'd not be yanking it down like that.

laughingmyarseoff · 26/01/2015 21:07

Though Chloe does have wonder breasts.

Namechangeyetagaintohide · 26/01/2015 21:17

I don't think of need the 6 - a 4 is usually fine. It's meant to be tight right ? Wink

Namechangeyetagaintohide · 26/01/2015 21:18

I'd*

LadyIsabellaWrotham · 26/01/2015 21:33

I bet that's what Chloe said namechange Grin

Namechangeyetagaintohide · 26/01/2015 21:39

Hahaha I'm a lot smaller ( and shorter) than Chloe. Grin so we are ok !

FightOrFlight · 26/01/2015 21:51

f you look closely it looks like Chloe has removed/tucked up the bottom lacy bit so it's considerably shorter than the one Charlotte is wearing.

tomandizzymum · 26/01/2015 21:54

It's great, it won't look like underwear unless it's see through, which I don't think it is. If you can carry it off, go for it. Lace dresses are in.

Salmotrutta · 26/01/2015 21:56

It's looks like a very pretty slip.

It doesn't look like a dress really.

MoanCollins · 26/01/2015 22:06

I think knowing that the cast of Geordie Shore wear it tells you everything you need to know about that particular dress....

Bogeyface · 26/01/2015 22:27

The green looks dramatically different, you can tell its a dress rather than a sexy nightie, the black could be either tbh.

I would go for the green, its a lovely colour.
