Oh no. Have fallen in love with a dress. It's £££. Advice gratefully received.

This one

Tell me it's awful.

Telling me to buy it is no good, I cannot afford it unless I sell one of DP's kidneys (have not totally ruled that out).

Help.

It's horrid! You are all zebras. Honestly, someone will offer you a bucket of hay if you turn up in that.
A better investment would be to get a simple white/cream shift dress and add accessories?

I LOVe this one Not so slinky winky as yours tethers

Am waiting for sale

Quite like cybbo's one.

THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY QUID!!!!!

(did that help?)

MrsDeVere, it did indeed.

A lot.

In genuine honesty I don't like it. It may be 'high fashion' and 80's revival but to me it just looks ugly and dated. And unless you can look yourself in the mirror and say 'yes I'm a size eight' without crossing your fingers it won't look flattering on, it really won't. None of these high end pieces do, they're designed for ill models. nomedoit has it right - spend half that on a quality shift and accessorise properly.

That model is slim and she may have the beginning of saddles in the video.

There that should do it.

There will be knockoffs of it EVERYWHERE soon.

The Phase Eight striped Janice is similar - but it looked bloody awful on me.

Thing is, that we only really need one kidney....

Is this the right one? £245.
Disclaimer : I've never used this site.

It's not the right one

oh dear I don't like it

I'm not just trying to be helpful either

Bit of practical honesty here - I ordered the pink and black version of that a little while ago, yes it is gorgeous - HOWEVER, it's pretty see through, you would have your knickers / bra showing and even when I tried a slip on underneath the pink version, it showed through and looked very odd. I sent it back.

If you buy those shoes as well, you'll be about 5ft 11 and size 16 would look pretty shapely.

I think it's gorgeous.

botterbar I love it, the last page is people putting her off nad you add a very good point thus increasing her spend by ££££££'s.
That is why I love mumsnet

I meant butterbar

Well personally I've always found kidneys over-rated

But think there are better dresses out there and NAP sale starts very soon so hold fire.

dam but that's a fug-ugly dress

it looks like tv interference and will not look good on any figure with any kind of shape to it

Um, nope don't like it. Will make even hourglass arse look huge and may decrease norkage, don't like the way it drapes at the waist either.
But... the shoes!!! OMG the shoes are amazing [and quite like the valentino dress on same page too, but noring black]

boring!

OOh i saw someone in Victoria station wearing something like that but in red and tan..she was broad-shouldered and slim hipped... self and sister loved the look.

but you want the red one. and only if you have a pert bum.

I am narrow shoudered and wide-hipped. it is not for me.
You could buy two dresses from LK Bennett for that money though...

Rosietheriveter28, success! Thanks! You have officially Put Me Off It.

Phew.

The shoes are too tranny for me.

Sorry OP.... But I really like that & will advise you to BUY BUY BUY!!

It will never go in the sale either I predict, or by sale time will only remain in obscure sizes.

I unsubscribed to net-a-porter as I find it easier not to look as I am on a budget at the moment
