went clothes shopping with dh yesterday while the dc's where in school , dh spotted one of those jumper dresses that he thought would look nice on me , to me it looks like a Bridget Jones Xmas jumper type dress ,
i will describe if i can = it is a rusty red colour , sleeveless & has a teddy about a foot in size on the front & the same on the back , crochet on the top . we left the shop and for three hours solid dh kept nagging me to buy the dress as he though it would look nice on me , in the end tired & feet killing me i gave in & bought the bloody thing just to shut him up but i doubt if i will ever wear it . it was only £20 pound so not expensive .

Lmao at the dress egs.

OP, is your DH the jealous type and trying to put off the competition? Surely he doesn't find bears attractive...or is that it, and he has some kind of freaky bear fetish?

squeaver · 01/12/2009 14:44

This is a wind-up, surely?

JackBauer · 01/12/2009 14:52

You have got to be kidding.
A teddy bear dress?

It wasn't this one, was it?

AgentZigzag · 01/12/2009 17:00

biggirls, your DH thinks it's cute?? Does he often find cute attractive? It isn't something I'd like my DH to think I looked.

biggirlsdontcry · 01/12/2009 17:27

no nothing like that marymungo .
as said in first post if it didn't have a teddy bear picture on it , it would be a lovely dress iykwim. it has shoulders straps & is rusty red coloured . but the teddy print on it is awful imo
agentzigzag not sure what you are getting at

Sorry, but I really can´t imagine why a grown man would want his wife to wear that.

I can´t believe you agreed, tbh.

Unless it looks ab fab on,of course.
