To be surprised that at how awful these dresses are?

[PetCheetah]

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

I think they're fun! I would wear some of them if I ever wore dresses. (Can't be bothered with tights.)

Just bought one, 40% off today

Perfect for a Mr Tumble theme party!

Miss Hooly from Ballamory would have had a scroll on this website for certain.

They remind me of Kirsty Allsopp

IT'S DRESSES WITH POCKETS! SOMEONE IS LISTENING TO WOMEN!😱😱😱

Even my 2 year old DD complained last week that she didn't have pockets in her dress. I tried to teach her the word patriarchy.

I love the parrot print one. Used to have something very similar 20 years ago.

My issue is they look so short waisted and poorly cut. Need another 2 inches on body length. The belts would sit under my tits rather than my actual waistline.

Well I quite like them! Probably wouldn't wear many, but there were quite a few I did like. If ever I needed more clothes.

POCKETSESS PRECIOUS!

I actually quite like them, but if I wore them, I'd look like Dawn French dressed up as a ballerina

@Colycola me too! One from Victory Parade and one from run & fly! You can never have too many dinosaur dresses.

@TartanDMs

Haha! I have a couple of the so called monstrosities and have had nothing but compliments. I don't dress for others though, but for myself, and if I like it I wear it. I do have bright blue hair though.

What's the quality/ fit like?

Being a cat owner, the "Meow or Never" dress is right up my street.
You could say it's...purrfect.

@Oliversmumsarmy

I think they look like something Kirsty Allsop would wear

I'm thinking Grayson Perry.

Some of them aren't hideous. The more I loaded, the more passable they got. I think a lot of the more... bold... ones would look better without the horrible coloured tights the models have on.

YABU

You don't like them, it doesn't make them "awful". Not exactly the style I tend to wear, but why should clothes be boring?

I would actually wear the "just write" dress at work, and it's a very corporate one just not with these shoes or tights.

@ZoeTurtle I agree about the tights. I don’t plan on wearing the colouring pencil dress with red tights and yellow shoes! I’m going to go more 50s with it.

@SunshineOutdoors

Got to be aimed at primary school teachers to wear to work? No offence to primary school teachers intended!

Lol...my son has asked me a few times where teachers get their clothes because he said they are always so weird and no one else ever wears them!

I quite like them

Not all of us want to look like Dillard's and dress in insipid navy and black

What is a ‘Dillard’? I just googled and got a US department store named Dillard’s but I assume that was not what you meant.

Did you mean ‘dullards’? You do know that a dullard is someone dull witted and stupid? Do you mean ‘a person who dresses in dull colours’?

That's not the only meaning:

The probem is that they are too high waisted, the waistline is not hitting the model at her narrowest point. (It looks paticularly bad on the blonde model). Also, the skirts are all a couple of inches too short, so they look like they come from the 1950s section of a fancy dress shop. That style of shirtwaister really needs to hit an inch or so below the knee.

Could work well on a petite woman though.

I like the melon dress! Not that I’d wear it though.

I have 2 pinafore dinosaur dresses from Run and Fly and I love them.

They're sort of cute.. in a sad way

God, those are awful.

Not my taste but they have pockets, which is rare and great! All my dresses have pockets.
