Settle a dispute between me and my DM...

Is this dress animal print? Specifically leopard print?

YANBU - yes. It’s leopard print.
YABU - no. It is not an animal print of any description.

It's a stylized leopard print.

It's clearly not printed in 'natural' colours, but it's a definite leopard print.

I'm going with Gingernaut's Stylised Leopard Print

Yes animal print.

I love Uppermill

Yep. It doesn’t matter how accurate it is - which it’s never going to be, in blue. It’s clearly supposed to be leopard print.

Your mum is - respectfully 🙂 - crackers!

@Cocomarine you have no idea...

Leopard print.

Looks like a lovely shop. Got my eye on one of the jackets

I love that your mum is not clear on leopard print vs leopard prints 🐾

Don’t be fooled OP! Not hearing back from your mum does not mean you’ve won. It means you’ve won for now. Mums do not concede defeat, they stay quiet for a while and come back fighting 🤣

I'm obviously in the tiny minority, but I'm Team DM - how can it be leopard print if it doesn't look anything like the skin of a leopard? Yes, the pattern is right, but the colour is completely wrong - would you describe it as leopard print if the colour were right but the pattern were big stars or triangles?! Would you describe something in red and blue stripes as 'zebra print'?!

More to the point, does it actually matter if you like it?!

If your point is that you don’t wear leopard print, I think this is sufficiently removed to wear without breaking that

The print refers to the pattern, not the colour. Clearly leopards don't have stars or triangles on them.

I couldn't find any red and blue zebra print, but I did find red and pink.

If that print isn't animal print because it's blue, then for the same reason, this one isn't horses.

YANBU- looks great too!

You won. But will it be worth it?

It's not Leopard print, it's not even an animal print. It's a dress with a blue random printed pattern. YABU

Op, did you tell your mum you posted on here? 😉

Can we vote not sure.

It's a beautiful dress! And they ship to Australia, I could cry. So many uk shops I love won't ship here.

She looks lovely. I want a tan!

That's like saying a fabric isn't floral if it doesn't exactly replicate flowers in their natural colours or sizes.
