What do we think might be wrong with this dress?

This one.

It's majorly reduced to a very low price. There must be a reason? The only thing I can think of is that it is very short, but as I'm only 5'1 that wouldn't be a problem. Any other ideas?

It says it was £35. Its now only £15. Am I missing something? Thats not a major reduction?

It's nice enough - 100% polyester explains how they can sell it cheaply, but that just means you don't need to iron it Wink

Thurlow · 26/07/2013 21:06

OK, badly worded. Though that's over 50% off, isn't it? (Very bad at maths!) It's not just one size that's reduced, it's a lot of sizes in a lot of colours, which always makes me wonder why people haven't been buying it. I quite like it, but I can't help but think that it might turn up and actually look very weird.

I like it, in any colour, looks like a nice fit. I think it's one of those things that looks better on model/you. Let us know if u order it and what you think.

Hmm, for £15 and a HoF shop ten minutes walk from work, I think I might. If it suits it could be good for casual and work (though with a vest underneath for work!)

It looks to me like it could be short of material on the wrap skirt so you could be flashing thigh knickers even when you walk in it - worth a try though as potentially v nice.

Fluffycloudland77 · 26/07/2013 21:59

The cut at the front is such that as you walk everyone sees your thighs, I think libertychick is correct when she says it could be short on material.

One gust of wind and the worlds your gynae.

It's the wrong print for the style of dress in my opinion.

The dress which is a very current style would better suit a more obviously aztec type print, which is what i think this print is trying to achieve but falls short. The print as it is would better suit a more formal work style of dress.

Knicker flashing, sweat making polyester

Pressed send by accident....

Knicker flashing, sweat making polyester is why it is so cheap

thismousebites · 26/07/2013 22:03

This is one of those dresses that look great if you are standing and not moving. As soon as you sit down you will show your pants to everyone.
Bad design.
TBH I have seen stuff like that on Ebay sell for 99p never mind £15

BikeRunSki · 26/07/2013 22:05

It is very short and is polyester. Both those would put me off.

Thurlow · 26/07/2013 22:14

I think I'll try it but only because being a midget, there's a lot less leg to flash than there is for most people! Maybe it's a black tights dress?
