I love that dress. Probably couldn't get away with wearing it, although I'm tempted to order it and send it back if I don't like it on me but I do like it.

JFM27 · 21/07/2020 18:51

As a a very petite slim woman, 4 11 and a size 6/8 i think these billowing dresses are awful, i cant imagine wearing one id look ridiculous.And the "you need to wear this a bit oversized "gets to me.No if i wore this a bit oversized id

look completely stupid. And do not get me started on one size fits all 8 to 18.Err no it doesent noway can i wear an item of clothing with my tiny frame thats fits a size 18.Even on the tall slim models they look far too big,so on a shorty like me huge.insane fashion.

It might not be to your taste (or mine) but that’s the point. I’m sure some of the stuff I wear lots wouldn’t be seen dead in either.

Exactly that. I’d love to see what some of the pp making such disparaging comments wear.

Perry Grayson, obvs Grin

Diva66 · 21/07/2020 19:08

It looks like a lampshade!

SurroundedByIdiotsEverywhere · 21/07/2020 19:08

The whole fashion business is a big con, being told what's 'in' or 'out' etc... If you like something wear it, if you don't then don't!

It is a con to get you to spend your hard-earned cash each 'season!' of the year, every year, chucking out the'old.

People who follow these trends are just sheep, all looking the same, surely those that are individualistic are the more noticable ones!

@BambooWhoosh

I hate those type of sleeves. I'd never be able to get my cardi on.
🤣 that made me laugh.

I’d feel a bit self conscious with the big sleeves, but this dress isn’t as bad as some people are making out! I do like oversized, wafty modest dresses though

ThatsHowWeRowl · 21/07/2020 19:18

Breton top, cigarette pants, blazer, innit. Maybe a 'slick of red lippy' if they are really adventurous!

Happymonster · 21/07/2020 19:22

Haha looks like a gust of wind would blow it over your head!

I'm all for other people wearing clothes I wouldn't dream of wearing - it makes life more fun and colourful. Some of the styled by photos look surprisingly good! As I say to my daughter it's not what you wear so much as how you wear it. If you've got the confidence and sass to pull a bright pink (or beige) flouncy dress off then go for it!

Just make sure you are wearing decent knickers if its a gusty day...

FelicisNox · 21/07/2020 19:35

I love fashion but I am NOT a fan of this dress.

I looked at it in the shop but couldn't get on board.

It's a no from me.

Quirrelsotherface · 21/07/2020 19:42

It's for the younger generation. I would look ridiculous in it now pushing 40 but would have absolutely rocked it at 20. All the mummy Instagrammers are wearing it and on most of them it really does look fucking awful.

FinlandFlag · 21/07/2020 19:56

Gawds

WhatifIfeellikeacat · 21/07/2020 20:02

Same dress.

I think I saw the link one today - she was miles away walking through the park in a crowd but you could really spot her. No good for hide and seek!

WhatifIfeellikeacat · 21/07/2020 20:07

This black dress look hideous on this pretty lady. It looks like a shirt.

WhatifIfeellikeacat · 21/07/2020 20:08

Not a shirt but a graduation gown.

Mumofsquirrels · 21/07/2020 20:08

OMG. If you don’t like it then don’t wear it!

Harls1969 · 21/07/2020 20:09

Covers up the lockdown weight gain I suppose

WhatifIfeellikeacat · 21/07/2020 20:15

I actually like the first dress posted by OP after I have seen it on the blond lady. I think she wears it better.

BilboBercow · 21/07/2020 20:15

That style of dress is everywhere. It's actually quite nice on young, skinny trendy people

MyWitzEnd · 21/07/2020 20:24

Love it! Thanks for the head's up!

Gill61 · 21/07/2020 22:46
