please tell why i should/shouldnt buy this dress

[TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle]

here tried it on, its a bit long, but its gorgeous. the problem is the low back. Im only 5'2" so it is very low on me. but the colour is gorgeous and i lurve the dress.

It is gorgeous. Order it, try it on, and if it looks daft you can always send it back can't you?

If you like it that much, you can't let it get away!

it's boring

would you wear it ?

length could drown you if too long and low back not great for daywear (although you could put a tup under it i suppose but it might look crap from a visible seams pov).

are you just buying it because it's cheap ?

top not tup

in my experience, if there's a problem with it (and you think it's too long, and too low at the back), you won't wear it. hard to hear it, but that's the truth of it...!

the first thing that popped into my head when I clicked on the link was "deidre barlow" ... I have no idea why

sorry!

Because Deirdre wears bodysuits! I know what you mean. Have seen these in Topshop and they are really nice, photo doesn't do it justice. Buy it!

Love the colour, length and low back. However I have a sleeveless maxi from New Look, that shape in stretch cotton is super clingy so no hiding lumps and bumps!

Don't like the low back at all - looks a bit cheap

its vile
youll look like abottle of rioja in it

I don't like it at all. Is it not uber clingy?

Hmmm it looks like something the 'lady killer' would wear in murder she wrote.

Do you have a blonde quiff hair style with brown roots?

what is it for?

for a very dressy special occasion it might be fun.
For everyday I think you would look nicer in your green kirtle.

Have seen it in Topshop, it's lovely get it. I would have except I have tummy issues .

Don't like that at all, sorry.

It makes me think of Lady Macbeth.

I really don't like it, sorry. I don't like low backs either. I like my back and am happy to show it in the right (evening) dress, but clothes that are 'daytimey' with scoop backs look cheap.

yy to LadyMacbeth

I tried it on in grey and I loved it! It is clingy, but the cotton/jersey mix is quite thick and hangs nicely. I think with a long pendant and a chunky knit cardi, it would be great for winter. It is unforgiving though, every curve is illuminated!

Buy it!

Looks a bit see-thru to me and totally unforgiving of lumps and bumps, dread to think what it would look like with a lace bra and thong under it.

But if it looks good on you, go for it!

Reminds me of my old ballet teacher, Mrs Delroy (real name? I think not). This is a good thing - I'd wear it with a shortish wrap cardigan and some elegant Mary Janes. Something like the Repetto Gitane. Or alternatively with some flat chunky-ish boots.

the thing is, this shape dress looks good on me. over the summer i lived in my vest style maxi. i would really be buying it because its cheap, might just spend an extra £4 and get the one from asos petite. it is beautiful though, photo doesnt do it justice, although, the back is a problem. would render it unwearable duing the day. but theoretically, i would wear it with chunky low boots, and cardi and chunky jewellary.

Wear a plain scoop back vest under it in the day time. You could totally get away with that in the day time. The length...if you have good dressmaking scissors I would get a mate to hold the hem taught and shear off the bottom. The material wont fray and if your scissors it will be a clean cut.
