To kind of want this dress

Like I KNOW it's awful, I know it's a costume for Mrs Christmas... But I still kind of love it. I think the kids would be delighted if I wore this Christmas day, too. Is it just too horrendous to consider?

I think they would be great fun to wear on Christmas Day! I’d wear it yearly and make it a ‘thing’

I love itBlush

I personally think it's horrible but if it would bring you and your children joy then I don't think it matters even slightly what I or anyone else think! And if you can't wear slightly silly, costume-y clothes for Christmas when can you?

Fun and quirky! Fabulous.

Dare I ask where to find it and do they do it in curvy backside sizes?! 😂

PinkFondantFancy · 07/11/2020 22:14

I like it Blush

I suppose it depends on how much it is but no why not get it to wear on Christmas Day!

Who cares what anyone else thinks.

Saying that I probably wouldn’t wear it outside of the Christmas period.

Ginkypig · 07/11/2020 22:17

I mean I wouldn’t wear it but then I’m pretty sure you would HATE my clothes too and that is why the world looks interesting.

Horrific! I love vintage style dresses but this, no. Depends how much money you have to blow as it is definitely a one occasion kind of deal!

shitinmyhandsandclap · 07/11/2020 22:17

I like it, it looks like a coat

Namechangedforthisoct2 · 07/11/2020 22:18

Haha go for it!!

MarcelineMissouri · 07/11/2020 22:18

I think it’s fabulous!

raspberryk · 07/11/2020 22:18

It’s not awful it’s gorgeous, I prefer some of the other colours myself.

It’s from British Retro If anyone wants one.

jemimafuddleduck · 07/11/2020 22:18

I love it, where's it from?!

understandalotmore · 07/11/2020 22:19

OMG that makes menopausal me over hot just looking at it! Imagine a hot kitchen and that dress, I'd expire!

But if you love it, bloody well buy it!

1Morewineplease · 07/11/2020 22:20

Your opinion is all that matters.

wirldsgonemad · 07/11/2020 22:21

Fun for Christmas Day, why not?

Londonsuffolkmummy · 07/11/2020 22:22

I buy all my clothes from British retro they come up very small

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 07/11/2020 22:24

I think it's brilliant as a Christmas day dress!!!

22Giraffes · 07/11/2020 22:24

I love it! If it will make you happy then go for it, especially at Christmas! Smile

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 07/11/2020 22:25
