as it is currently sat on top of my wardrobe, does not match the dress I thought it would, and I should now return it (unworn, still tagged and bagged etc)but I am strangely drawn to it...
Off to watch a film, will decide based on you!

I like it.

belledechocchipcookie · 23/01/2011 18:27

Keep it. It's very pretty and an absolute bargain!

TrillianAstra · 23/01/2011 18:28

Unfortunately it's rather lovely - did you get it for that bargainous price?

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 23/01/2011 18:28

What would you wear it with if it does not match the dress you had in mind. I personallay hate single button jackets as they rarely fit nicely, so am not mad on it.

McHobbes · 23/01/2011 18:29

I like it!

Catsmamma · 23/01/2011 18:29

I like it!

Niecie · 23/01/2011 18:29

I was all set to say that it was gruesome but I actually quite like it.

Whether you take it back depends on how much you paid for I think. If you paid full price - take it back - not sure it is worth that much. The sale price is a bargain though.

brokeoven · 23/01/2011 18:29

oh im sorry but it is absolutely gorgeous, i love it!

frigadoon · 23/01/2011 18:30

It's gorgeous, and what a bargain - but NOT styled as shown!

BecauseItoldYouSo · 23/01/2011 18:30

I think that it is lovely other than the bottom bit. It looks a little like the hem is loose.

BikeRunSki · 23/01/2011 18:31

Nice.

TrinityMotherOfRhinos · 23/01/2011 18:34

I love it, absolutely fab

MrsSeanBean · 23/01/2011 18:38

It's such a bargain, I would keep it. It's a nice quirky classic.

eviscerateyourmemory · 23/01/2011 18:41

I think it is lovely, though if you paid full price for it might be worth returning and buy again.

Bishoplyn · 23/01/2011 18:51

Its great - hang onto it.

EveryonesJealousOfGingers · 23/01/2011 18:53

Beautiful - keep it (or post it to me if it's a 12!)

SixtyFootDoll · 23/01/2011 18:55

I think its great esp if you got it at sale price

Clure · 23/01/2011 18:55

agree, keep it, its fab. I really like the tuxedo jacket but they dont have my size Sad

sharbie · 23/01/2011 18:58

its lovely

QueenLaQueefer · 23/01/2011 19:21

God it's lovely!

If only they had my size!

Unless, OP, it's a 12 in which case it's horrid, but I'll take it off your hands.Grin

Menagerie · 23/01/2011 19:50

It's gorgeous. Keep it.

WhatsWrongWithYou · 23/01/2011 19:52

Just keep it for another occasion - as long as the colour suits you.

You're bound to find something that's crying out for a black velvet jacket and will kick yourself otherwise.

Havingkittens · 23/01/2011 20:17

It's lovely. It would look great with a pencil skirt or skinny jeans/trousers.

HelenBa · 23/01/2011 20:44

pretty!

grumpypants · 23/01/2011 21:53

Oh no! Was truly expecting to be told to send it back! Did get it for 24 quid, it is a 12, and i just can't bring myself to part with it....guess you've made my mind up!
