Is this dress frumpy?

Like the style but not the pattern sorry.

Not good. Horribly old fashioned.

God I hate gok wan and his banger talk He has no taste why can't anyone see it.

Agree with you on that Noddy. Am large myself and I think he makes large women look grotesque rather than stylish I'm afraid.

He is very per una in his approach. Too much going on ruffles pin on rosettes big hideous hair and jewellery and tight underwear Grotesque. They all look likethis when he's finished.

Dress is frumpy. It screams "Mother of the Bride".

How about this?

It is being styled with boleros on that page. That should be all you need to know.

If they reigned the print in and it was in a decent fabric it would be better. But sweaty and wearing a big print is a bit grim

I hate that knotted/wrap dress look.

And the material looks like something you would make antimaccassars out of.

Frumpy, I'm too young for it and I'm old.

tethersend, nice dress, bt i don't like the colour .Plus i feel its too bland a dress.Like no cuts, no design.Too plain for me

It wasn't for you, archanat10

I saw the ones you linked to, I think we have very different taste

Hehe, i know it was not for me. i just happened to see your dress. so that is why i said, no hard feelings. after all its just clothes ;)

JUST clothes?

I liked it, Tether's dress that is. Then again I liked the DP one too but not the OP's one I'm afraid.

I hope not! I bought it this afternoon! Was worrying all the way home that it may be a bit old for me but it felt so nice on and did wonders for my figure. Also a size 12 fitted perfectly when usually I have to buy size 10 skirts and size 14 tops and dresses are a no no!

If you like it, you like it - but if you are asking about it you must have doubts. I bought something from Per Una once and wore it to work - another woman in the office (nearly 20 years my senior) said 'O00h I've got that top!' - I haven't shopped there since!

harrietlichman sounds like an bad experience ;)

sorry a*

My mum is 61 and would def not wear that dress. Or indeed almost anything from Per Una. Sorry, very very old fashioned.

I like the one Noddy linked to.

Not so much frumpy as dull and nothingy.

I returned it..... Mainly because I'm not in love with it. And my new rule is to be in love with it.......just cleared out my wardrobe and don't want to accumulate more unworn tat
