fair enough! The reviews were swaying me as they seemed to suggest it was really flattering!

Agree with others! It's awful.

The style might possibly be flattering but the pattern is horrible, sorry.

CheddarGorgeous · 15/02/2013 18:10

No no no no no no no no and no.

Do you have anything else to show us?

2cats2many · 15/02/2013 18:12

I agree with everyone else. I don;t know how to make that look good.

WipsGlitter · 15/02/2013 18:14

It would need to look amazing on. Very mumsy.

ElectricMonk · 15/02/2013 18:16

Sorry, but that dress is horrible.

The Fiore and Paulina above are lovely

I actually think the print isn't THAT horrendous if that palette suits you, but i think the style wouldn't be flattering on your frame anyway so it's a no.

Of all the Outlet dresses I think this would be the most flattering but may be too informal, and you would have to be a winter again:

I think this is quite cute and handy if you are breastfeeding:

I have that last cute 'kisses' dress.
It is a really lovely dress, but I wouldn't wear it to a wedding.

QueenCadbury · 15/02/2013 19:52

I actually adore the pattern and really wanted the blouse of the same but it is just too high necked to suit me.

Have you tried it on yet? Is it flattering? If you do wear it then I would keep accessories to a minimum as the dress is busy enough by itself.
