I'm not a fan of puffball skirts but I really like the colour.

Ignore your DH, its a lovely summery dress.

Men know nothing about womens clothes. Grin

MrsCampbellBlack · 29/03/2012 20:47

I love the colours!

Its polyester which would put me off but I seem to recall that you're slim so imagine it looks fab on you.

thestringcheesemassacre · 29/03/2012 20:48

Don't like the pattern at all, but love the style.

JasperJohns · 29/03/2012 20:50

I like the style but pattern is a wee bit revolting.

HotDAMNlifeisgood · 29/03/2012 20:50

I would hate it on me, but admire it on someone who could pull it off.

No. Sorry.

PlayEatSleep · 29/03/2012 20:53

I mean, I don't like it.

ifancyashandy · 29/03/2012 20:54

The style is ok. The pattern / colours are horrible. Sorry.

overmydeadbody · 29/03/2012 20:55

If you love it that's the important thing.

Does it suit you?

ToxicToria · 29/03/2012 20:55

I like it Smile

mosschops30 · 29/03/2012 20:55

Its a bit puffball but not massively so.
Am size 8-10 (more 10 at the monent)

Not looking good, seeing as most dont like either the pattern or the shape

I love it... A lot :)

CupOfBrownJoy · 29/03/2012 20:58

I like it, but it looks very short?

Do you have a DD? She'll give you the unvarnished truth. Or put a pic of you in it on your profile?

chocoroo · 29/03/2012 20:59

Love it.

That dress is the sort of thing I want to be able to wear. The reason I shouldn't have just eaten that Creme Egg.

pictish · 29/03/2012 20:59

It's nasty. Dreadful cheap fabric. That polyester 'silk' is the pits. And I LOVE H&M!

ICanTuckMyBoobsInMyPockets · 29/03/2012 20:59

I bought this in blue, black and a pattern before Christmas as I thought they were lovely in the shop mirrors. I was sadly mistaken. Mother made me take them all back!
My much slimmer sister then tried her size on and it was awful too.
It must be magical as the person wearing it is the only one that likes it!

MooncupandPizza · 29/03/2012 20:59

I don't like the pattern much. THe shape is something I am coming around to. I like how it looks on the model but don't think the colours/patterns do much for her.

However, if you love it, wear it! Honestly, I mean it! I wouldn't see it and think "yuk", just not my kind of dress (and I have an irrational dislike of yellow clothes also)

CrapBag · 29/03/2012 21:00

What I have learned as I have got a little bit older, is that we all have our own sense of style and I wear now what I like, not what I think others will like.

I bought a lovely top/dress that I thought no one would like but I loved it, everyone complimented me. Now I go for clothes for me, no one else. Smile

Floggingmolly · 29/03/2012 21:02

It's lovely Smile

runningforthebusinheels · 29/03/2012 21:07

I don't like it at all, it looks shapeless and horrible and it makes the model look fat imo. (Never buy anything that makes the model look fat).

Sorry.

pictish · 29/03/2012 21:10

Was just looking at Zara.
I think this is quite orginal.

here

Zara have LOADS and some are bright and floral and a bit zany.

mosschops30 · 29/03/2012 21:11

But i find it difficult if dh hates something because if we go out i wont feel nice. However i never ever go to town to go out, i will probaby wear it once which is why i dont want to spend a fortune. I wouldnt dream of going anywhere decent in this dress, but im going city centre drinking in a large group with an age range of 21-51.

Dd (15) said i need to ignore dh and she thins its lovely. My mother likes it too

Like the zara dress but not the price

I was expecting to go yuk when I read that it was puffball but I think it's bloody lovely!
