Don't like that, Tethers - sorry.

I ain't buying it - satin makes me look a tart.

FrameyMcFrame · 04/03/2011 22:37

it's only left in size 16, don't think it would look great on a larger frame...

ShowOfHands · 04/03/2011 22:42

Are fancy dress shops usually that expensive?

80s hooker is unfashionable atm anyway.

You're all wrong, it's lovely. I'm a 16 and I'd wear it in a heartbeat if I wasn't so fucking ginger.

Now, learn to love it and eventually purchase it. At once.

No. Sorry. Grin

Pinner35 · 04/03/2011 22:55

Actually, I like it. I would buy it if I had a) the money, b) the figure and c) somewhere to wear it.

bishboschone · 05/03/2011 18:26

I think Issa dresses look much better on tethers is right.. Sadly imam a, fair.. B, pregnant and c not size 16 !

purplepidjin · 05/03/2011 18:32

Only if I wanted to dress up as a red nose for comic relief!

Emo76 · 05/03/2011 18:34

Sorry but it is too Kate Middleton for me!

cookielove · 05/03/2011 18:39

I was watching a show today, and this fashion bloke was saying that people are so scared to wear colours that clash with them e.g ginger hair people never wear red, and he made over a ginger haired lady and put her in a red dress and she looked really good, and he said you should just try it, cause everyone is different and it may just look fab, so i say Buy it, if you want it, you could look fab in it!!

verytellytubby · 05/03/2011 18:43

Agree with Emo, far too Kate Middleton.

IngridBergmann · 05/03/2011 18:48

How much?! It shows far too much tit.

Umm... Kate's dress was Issa, hence the similarity. Same designer, geddit? Wink

cookie, I am really bold with colour (too bold, some would say Grin), and have tried to wear red many times. It honestly looks shit. I have seen it work on other redheads, but my hair and my skin colouring just fail with red. I look ill.

Now will somebody just buy it?

I am seriously considering getting it and trying to flog it on ebay for more money Grin

It is shipped from Abu Dhabi, so will have to go through customs. Could add £££££s to the price.

Oooh, good point, SWMNBF.

cookielove · 05/03/2011 19:08

Oh ok, well i am sure someone will buy it.

ComeAlongPond · 05/03/2011 19:16

I actually like it, and would buy it if they had it in my size but I'm not a size 16!

ComeAlongPond · 05/03/2011 19:17

And if I wasn't, you know, poor.

Emo76 · 05/03/2011 21:33

yes tethersend I did realise that! I don't take issue with Kate's style but wearing that dress would automatically look like a complete style stalker.

TrillianAstra · 05/03/2011 21:46

Beautiful. But too spendy and not in my size.

verytellytubby · 05/03/2011 21:48

She's ruined Issa for me. Too sloany.
