To kind of want this dress

[mayandjuniper]

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?

If you've got the figure for it, go for it.

You should do it. Back in the day I would have. Life’s too short to not go with it!

Bit of fun, why not. This has inspired me to find a ridiculous Christmas day outfit

I love it. No different to wearing Christmas jumpers.

Anything to make Christmas feel different to any of the generic lockdown days that we've had this year is a good thing!

I love British Retro & if we weren't planning a garden based Christmas this year & obviously no parties I would be buying in a heartbeat!

It’s fantastic and if I could afford it I would totally get it.
This year my Christmas dress is called “hares in the snow” and I really want some blue ICs but unlikely to happen.

Love it! Like something from a Hallmark Christmas movie. I would wear it to any Xmas occasion - school fair, carol service, and DEFINITELY Christmas Day.
But then I do am dram and love dressing up, so who am I to judge...

It’s beautiful! I’m thinking of buying it too. Your kids would love it!

I love it!

I have a red velvet dress in a 50s style that I wear every christmas day.
The one in the picture is nicer than mine and I'm quite jealous 😅

92% polyester-too sweaty for me!

But, but, but....it’s dry-clean only. I always spill gravy or something down me. And I sweat, loads. If your cook prepares Christmas dinner for you, go for it. Otherwise, find a dress that you can throw in the washing machine.

It's the fur cuffs which I think would be the problem. For sure you wouldn't be doing the washing up in it, so that's a point in its favour.

I think it's rather gorgeous but impractical for the purpose.

And dry clean only!

Lots of fab red dresses out there. deadlyisthefemale.com/product-category/clothing/dresses/?filter_colour=red All bum sizes catered for.

That looks like some sort of chucked-on dressing gown.

I'm not keen on Christmas jumpers because they are low-use clothes and am concerned about the impact of them on the environment. Same with this dress.

@understandalotmore

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!

I'm 35 and not menopausal but thought the same. I'm terrible at controlling my own body heat. I just know I'm going to get very hot when I do go through it.

It is pretty and you could be wearing it for many years so your cost per wear will be lower. I'd be wearing it round the house doing the last minutes fripperies -nice towels in the bathroom, ast minute decorations, wrapping presents .

I don't have an hourglass figure for that dress (but I do have the hairlength that can go into waves now )

My Christmas jumpers are worn a few days in December , I have a couple of tops , and a washable jumper that are 3+ years old so not just a disposable fashion.

If you like it but it. Just wear it on Christmas day and boxing not your immediate family will see it.

Bloody auto correct!
Only your immediate family will see it if you wear it Christmas day.

Do it!

Love it! It reminds me of when I bought a vintage dress from etsy, but mine got muddled up with someone else's purchase, and I received a vintage red velvet catsuit with white fur trim. Basically this dress, but as a catsuit. It was amazing, but far too tiny for me.

Really???

Go on, go on go on..............

I love it its lovely.

Go on go on go on
