No way and never and not at all.
unless you want to look like a member of FLeetwood Mac

OhBuggerandArse · 02/01/2014 11:57

It does bear a certain resemblance to 70s net curtains...

DrNick · 02/01/2014 11:58

NAY!

The model looks like she's wearing a 70's lampshade.

BellaVita · 02/01/2014 11:59

No!

SoupDragon · 02/01/2014 12:00

What look are you hoping to achieve...?

PeterParkerSays · 02/01/2014 12:08

are you going to hang it around the pedestal of your bathroom sink?

Sorry, I was hoping to like it as I loved the idea of a bargain skirt but this is a liability not a bargain.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 02/01/2014 12:47

It's very pretty,but a hard skirt to pull off!

SundaySimmons · 02/01/2014 13:37

Each to their own but it looks too old fashioned to be worn by a young lady and an older woman would have more sense to wear such a frou frou monstrosity!

feelingvunerable · 02/01/2014 16:58

i think it looks nice on the model with the top. Depends on your style really but if you like it then why not?

Onesleeptillwembley · 02/01/2014 17:00

I've actually seen that and said 'WTF'. There's a reason it's reduced so much.

OneLittleLady · 02/01/2014 17:00

I like it! I would wear it

dexter73 · 02/01/2014 17:03

It looks like some kind of sea anemone Shock.

Hopasholic · 02/01/2014 17:03

Grin Peterparker

It is soooooo much like one of my mothers lampshades that I can't quite believe it!

If you like it OP then buy it. Sod what anybody else thinks Smile

Jojay · 02/01/2014 17:04

I think its really pretty! If you've got something to go with it, go for it.

merryxmasyafilthyanimal · 02/01/2014 17:11

I like it!

Leedsavril · 02/01/2014 17:12

Sadly not my taste either.....sorry.

AndTwoBits · 02/01/2014 17:18

No, its very very fancy and i just wouldn't know what the hell to wear with it.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 02/01/2014 17:23

I'd put a silk cami and a soft powdery pink wrap cardi with it -longer length cardi,loose and fairly open with the tie round the waist going over the cami at the front,rather than cardi,for a cute and cosey 'ballerina chic' look.

Not sure how else it could be worn though.Hmm maybe there is a way to funk it up with a blazer

Onesleeptillwembley · 02/01/2014 17:58

Not even a drag queen would wear that.

Onesleeptillwembley · 02/01/2014 17:59

Sorry posted too soon - I've just been very very reliably informed.

Volume121 · 02/01/2014 18:04

Looks good on the model......

clpsmum · 02/01/2014 20:37

Thank you all for making me laugh so much and more importantly saving me £40! You're all right it's a bit ridiculous think I got a but carried away with saving nearly £100!!!
