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

[tethersend]

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.

Nahhhh... you wont get many wears-to-the-pound out of that one. People will take bets if you'll be wearing it again.
Also I am size 16 and hourglass and would look like the size of a brick shitehouse in it, an' a stripey one at that

Glad to help! (ish!)

Well I'm glad you got what you wanted tethersend & have been dissuaded.

Unfortunately this thread has just made me
A) want a new dress
B) look on net-a-porter when I have stayed away for aaages

The only thing that is holding me back is being hugely pregnant, I doubt if I can even fit in flip flops from there now!

The bigger the stripes, then generally, the bigger you will look - am I helping?
Also it is fairly bold and would you tire of it quickly?

Only just noticed the shoes - they are vile.

sounds like a nightmare to wash and keep in shape

i LOVE IT TETHERS

it's lovely

tethers-Im here!!(damn dh for taking me for a lovely pub dinner!). That dress is seriously minging!!(and I like vivienne westwood stuff). Stripe is too wide and will only make you look huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. Plus how often would you wear it-really?.
But I know you always hate my choices so will try reverse psychology-yes tethers it is lovely,you must buyt it now!!!!.

The quality of tha material on the anglomania dresses I have tried on recently has been bloody awful, so thin it's practically see through. So not worth the money.

would it help to want something even more expensive?

Tethersend, just think

ZEBRA

Which is what I (also size 16) would look like wearing that gorgeous dress

or something in blue?

it's very nasty and looks like a cheap version of the original Full Circle wide striped maxi dress. so, you cannot buy it. it is absolutely hideous, and looks like a bin liner. i am actually quite glam and so my opinion trumps every other advising you to see kidneys.

sell kidneys. seeing them would involve x ray vision, or a trip to the butchers.

People can manage perfectly well on an eighth of a kidney, apparantly.

Just work out on which occasions you would wear it over the next year, and decide whether or not it will be good value.

It can be a fab dress and still not a good buy. Or a v expensive dress and a good buy.

A great shape if you are a great shape!

cheaper but still nice

for £70

You'll look like a fucking zebra.
HTH

I bought the navy version, longer length one. Tis not see through, tis lovely. Sell a kidney.

Would it actually make you happy to have it? As opposed to the momentary pleasure you would get from wearing it for an evening? If it wouldn't make you happy, then what is the point to it?

Bloody hell noddyholder that dress is lovely - I might sell one of my kidneys for that one.

Great I cam on here to give advice and so far I want a Mango dress(affordable) and Valentino shoes. Wonders if DH has bought my 30th Bday pressie

The mango one is VERY short

I have a grey striped cowl neck dress from mango, v similar to nodders one, I love it, great quality apart form the cowl is so low its a bit like Kylies cant get you out of my head all in one white thing
