AIBU to think that this dress is an accident waiting to happen!

And there is absolutely no underwear you could use. Everyone would know you're completely naked. One wrong move and you'd unravel completely.

I have a dress almost exactly like that for wearing over my bikini at the beach. But it's designed for wearing over swimwear... that thing is clearly not!

lalalalyra · 20/04/2018 20:38

You wouldn't be able to move in that!

I'm sorry- that should definitely not be sold in an XL!

According to them XL is a 12

iklboo · 20/04/2018 20:38

I'd look like 10lb of dough in an orange bag in that.

Knittedfairies · 20/04/2018 20:39

Good Lord. It reminds me of a joint of pork tied with string... probably not what they were going for,

Roussette · 20/04/2018 20:39

God I'd look sooooo hot in that dress.

NOT

Think... a sausage in a skin splitting under the grill

WTAF

VanillaSugar look forward to your review!

HeartShapedBox · 20/04/2018 20:40

I think it's lovely, if you've got the body for it. Which I don't.

Theshittyendofthestick · 20/04/2018 20:40

I've got pants with more material in the gusset than that whole dress Blush

tillytoodles1 · 20/04/2018 20:41

I'd look like I was bursting out of a binbag in that.

Roussette · 20/04/2018 20:42

How could anyone look good in that?

Seriously

ILoveDolly · 20/04/2018 20:43

Think of the fun all the drunk lads will have following you around trying to untie/cut the string to see the whole thing pop open

supercalifragilisticexpiali · 20/04/2018 20:43

Gosh you could go to the loo without having to take anything off 😳

MrsExpo · 20/04/2018 20:43

Thanks for posting OP. I’m looking for a dress for a particular occasion as it happens. Perfect ..... Grin.

(I’m 64, a bit overweight and it’s a hobby related club presentation evening. ..... that should brighten up proceedings no end ...... )

LittleMissNaice · 20/04/2018 20:43

Think of the tan lines!!

Mummyoflittledragon · 20/04/2018 20:44

Oh dear. Looks like the xl will only fit round one leg here. And there was me thinking I’d found a new summer dress. I can’t believe the comment, I thought it was really versatile. I was thinking seamless day to evening wear.

RickOShay · 20/04/2018 20:44

Vanilla have you???
what a hero Grin

RunRabbitRunRabbit · 20/04/2018 20:44

Bloody hell. I made the mistake of clicking on that link. Now I'm getting adverts for clothes I'd wear if I worked at a cheap strip club.

Right, I'm off to browse lawn mowers or something until the ads change. Otherwise I won't be able to let others look at my screen for fear of raised eyebrows over my browsing. Fuck.

OohMavis · 20/04/2018 20:44

Oh that's lovely that is.

Nowt like leaving it to the imagination...

hedgebackwards · 20/04/2018 20:45

I couldn't wear that I'd look like a skip quarter half covered with badly-tied tarpaulin Grin

LittleMissNaice · 20/04/2018 20:46

I like how they’ve added “sleeveless” into the description - as though that would be a deal breaker “hmmm well, I do like it ... if only it hid my bingo wings”.
