Is this dress hideous?

Because I quite like it. With some gold lame wedges. Very seventies or too twee?

It's a bit lairy for me!

MerryMarigold · 08/04/2011 20:38

Don't like the fake jewel bits. Otherwise I quite like it. But I am a bit mad on colour.

piebald · 08/04/2011 20:39

Very lairy, but strangely attractive!

Themasterandmargaritas · 08/04/2011 20:39

I'm not shy about a bit of colour either, but I'm with you on the jewels, I'd probably take them off.

It makes my eyes hurt.

I think if you are slim and are dark skinned or have a tan it will look stylish and summery and lovely. If, like me, you are stumpy and curvy and pale it will make you look lumpy and the pattern will be too much.

It's not hideous, but you will look like you're on your way to a 70's fancy dress party.

MerryMarigold · 08/04/2011 20:44

Only if you wear it with gold wedges. I think if you find some shoes with 70 reference but not OTT then it will look great.

Themasterandmargaritas · 08/04/2011 20:46

I've got fabulous gold Office wedges that I love. Ellie I am quite small, blonde and often sport a hint of tan that comes from living in the tropics Grin

I really like it but again without the jewels. Think it'll look fabulous styled as you've suggested.

shrinkingnora · 08/04/2011 20:55

I looked at that dress in Phase earlier and it is even nicer in the flesh!

shrinkingnora · 08/04/2011 20:56

Phase 8 even

Themasterandmargaritas · 08/04/2011 20:57

That's good to know, is it a nice material? It calls itself jersey but it says viscose.

You will look very good in that dress. Get it.

I look forward to seeing you in it in 2 weeks.

Themasterandmargaritas · 08/04/2011 20:59

Better than the funky black jumpsuit (that'll be 2 miles too long)?

I can't WAIT to see you all. Grin

oh yes deffo.

I ordered a French Connection one, came today. Was back in return post an hour later. Am grumpy.

shrinkingnora · 08/04/2011 21:03

It's soft and not cheap feeling if that's what you mean.

Themasterandmargaritas · 08/04/2011 21:04

why the grump? I think we are too short small for 'em.

OP posts:
bucaneve · 08/04/2011 21:05

I can't quite decide whether I love it or hate it Confused. Edging towards love I think

EllieG · 08/04/2011 21:06

It sounds like you'll look lovely in it in that case, were I wafting round the tropics with some gold wedges, I would probably want something very similar [tries hard not to feel very jealous]

Themasterandmargaritas · 08/04/2011 21:08

Tis paradise here

Oh it was dreadful. Too short, awful cut at the front for largeish norks. Looked farcking ridiculous.

I am stuck.

Get that dress. It will look fabbo on you. Teeny tiny blonde with a tan. Grrr

Themasterandmargaritas · 08/04/2011 21:15

Try the Kookai one, gwan.

I may have exaggerated the small bit. Err and the tan.

OP posts:
largeginandtonic · 08/04/2011 21:21

What Kookai one? Where?

Themasterandmargaritas · 08/04/2011 21:31

This lovely one. This is the one I want to wear to the party.
