To be surprised that at how awful these dresses are?

I'm not sure awful is the right word or why Facebook would think I might like 'Pencil Me In' or 'Treat Yourself'?

Anyway, Toast is so much nicer with much more class.

Not my cup of tea and unflattering.

I love them! Extra points for the pockets. Very much my style, will probably order something, thanks for the tip :) Btw I’m not a schoolteacher, not skinny, not young and not attention seeking. I just love a fun skirt with pockets and really don’t care what anyone thinks Grin

UserMcNewName · 01/11/2020 08:08

The styles are great. Not too short, a mix of necklines and sleeve styles, pockets! I also like that the description tells you the exact length etc which most never do.

The prints are quirky but that's just personal taste. My teen DD has quirky print dresses similar to this from Lindy Bop and she loves them. As a PP said these are a little more garish in places but I can find far more offensive clothes than these.

Omg, that hat! I had one like that when I was 4! I'm not sure I was particularly classy at four years old..

bridgetreilly · 01/11/2020 09:36

Giant toddler is precisely my style. Why should kids get all the fun clothes? Anyway, I would happily wear most of these.

People are different, tastes vary, get over it.

You clearly were. And standing in a fashion that would have made my mum tell me off and remind me about deportment.

It’s a shame they don’t do kids sizes. My niece would love these.

pincertoe · 01/11/2020 12:54

I actually quite like them. I don't have the body shape to pull them off (and I don't spend that much on most dresses) but if I did there are a couple I like.

Mary46 · 01/11/2020 13:02

Colours a bit over the top.. loved the zebra blue one. Might suit a younger woman.

I love some of them. They look great fun!

WitchOfTheWest · 01/11/2020 22:27

I recently bought a dress from this site but not worn it yet, only tried it on. Looks really nice on and so comfy. (Pic below)

If people are after dresses with pockets, Popsy is also worth a look. They also do matching kids dresses. Not my thing but I know matching outfits is quite popular at the mo!

I love some of them. I'm too fat to pull it off.

Stealth boast. I'm too fat to pull it on! 😉

Oh is this what Clothkits became?

SleepOhHowIMissYou · 01/11/2020 23:55

Some are horrible. Some are nice. I wear mostly White Stuff, Fat Face and Seasalt so would go for something like this. Reminds me a little of Get Cutie in Brighton.

bridgetreilly · 02/11/2020 15:45

@nevernotstruggling Clothkits is still, in fact, Clothkits.

etinox · 02/11/2020 16:23

@StoneofDestiny

Just look like the dresses that Kirsty woman that finds houses for people wears.
Someone linked to KA's dresses on another thread and they are spenny!
MacDuffsMuff · 02/11/2020 16:26

They're not really my thing but I was expecting MUCH worse. They're just bright dresses.

LittleGwyneth · 02/11/2020 16:47

Beyond awful. Belongs to the sort of person who thinks screaming about a dress having pockets is funny, thinks Cards Against Humanity is the height of amusement and who talks about what Hogwarts house they're in.

What does your dress say about you? What colour scheme shouts "unreasonable, judgy and bitchy"?

Nice one @YouKidsIsCrazy Grin.

Well FWIW @LittleGwyneth’s post made me laugh. Painted a very vivid picture Grin

VeniceQueen2004 · 02/11/2020 16:54

I think they're lovely! Shame I'm up the duff or I'd buy the book one!
