Not sure, I'm thinking I could possibly wear it to a wedding this summer.

Depends-if you're tall I think and it is very very retro-eg I would like it but dh would be appalled as his mum wore it 40 years ago!

no

I think it's really pretty but dp said it looks like a nightdress.

I'm only 5'3, I do wear a lot of maxi dress's in summer with flats and heels depending on length. Monsoon dress's are usually long so I would need very high heels.

No, it's half price for a reason.

No - sorry but the pattern looks a bit like vomit. I'm sure there are much nicer dresses around.

I like it!

I wanted to buy it at full price but they didn't have it in my local shop so didn't bother. Noticed it is half price so I'm tempted to order it but general concensus seems to be thats its awful (including my dp).

Think I have a thing about floaty floral dress's.

it's lines with polyester Grin

lined

No, don't waste your money. Those sleeves.....

Now I love a maxi, as many of my posts on S &B show, but I predict that dress would be difficult to pull off. I tried a similar cut in s plain blue recently and it made me look frumpy. I am 5ft 10, small 10 on top and large 10 on bottom. I think to stand z chance with that dress you need to be tall and slim, with v willowy arms. As they are the only part showing they need to be slim to avoid looking chunky and frumpy.

I'm a size 8 with thin arms but only 5'3" so would need very high heels.

Think I would have to try it on as the fact it is half price I'm thinking it most likely looks awful on. I like the print and the sleeves though.
