I thought it was a dress!

[ginmakesitallok]

Bought [http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_007010811660_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7EWomen%7ETops this] to wear for night out tomorrow, but I thought it was a dress! Will it be OK with thick black tights or will I look like I've forgotten my trousers?

[HyvaPaiva]

It says that it's a top and she's wearing it with leggings, so just wear it like that. It's lovely!

[pictish]

Great - have a good night!

[PickledInAPearTree]

I would wear leggings - with tights if you have to stretch bend down etc you might see the gussets!

With leggings my rule is my arse And a bit must be covered.

Fancy buying in a shop!

[RibenaFiend]

Ooooh its lovely!

[50ShadesOfMaybe]

Looks fine as a dress to me. As everyone says, black tights. Leggings would dress it down.

Surely you've tried it on?

[Fallenangle]

Have a great night out.

[ginmakesitallok]

Thanks all for saving a fat old woman's blushes.

[ginmakesitallok]

OK one emergency dash to sainsbury's and I have leggings. Can high five till my heart's content.

[ProPerformer]

Ok I'd wear it as a dress with thick tights like leggings (prob like you described op ) or with thick footless tights. However I'm 28 and a size 10 so.... I say if you're confident enough then go for it!

[ginmakesitallok]

old fashioned us eh Pictish?

[pictish]

Aye. You can.

[ginmakesitallok]

Mrs mushroom, there wasn't a label in the shop. I didn't buy on line

[pictish]

She bought it in the actual shop!
I know...i was shocked too. I thought I was the only person alive who still did that!

[ginmakesitallok]

Can you wear leggings with long black boots?

[Delayingtactic]

Hmm. How far down your thigh is it? I have stupidly long thighs in comparison to the whole of my leg and even dressed that are a respectable length past my bum look short because you can still see a lot of thigh IYSWIM. Also if you can't put your arms above your head can you lean forward without showing the world your knickers?

[pictish]

Leggings or the blackest of black canvas skinnies.

[MrsMushroom]

How dd you mistake it for a dress since the description says "Tunic top"

[pictish]

No. I am 37 and a size 18. That is not a dress for me. That is a top.
Wearing anything that stops you putting your hands over your head is a bad move. Even with the thickest of thick tights.
What if you have to sit down opposite someone without a table to hide under? What if you drop something?
What if you have to high five someone??!!

Take it from me, you will spend the whole night tugging at your hem and trying not to move.

[ooer]

Why has nobody suggested leggings? Surely Tesco would have?

Or black skinny trousers I suppose.

[ginmakesitallok]

Model is wearing with leggings, I have really thick tights that look like leggings, what's the difference?

[ginmakesitallok]

Bugger. What sort of trousers? Out straight after work, in meetings all day, only chance would be tesco at lunch time.

[Fallenangle]

Ok OP. i agree with thick black tights. I'm still sure you will look great and no one will think you have forgotten your trousers.

[bunnymother]

Can you wear a short, tight black miniskirt under it in case you do need to lift your arms?

[pictish]

Oh I seee...you actually shopped in a shop?

Well yeah sorry. It's still a top. You'll need trousers.

[ginmakesitallok]

I know that now Pictish, unfortunately it wasn't labelled 'top' in the shop.
