Please tell me if you think this dress is boring!

[NigellasGuest]

or if you reckon I could make it more interesting with accessories?
e.g. bright red shoes?
does anyone have any suggestions pretty please?

It is very funereal. What's the occasion? If not a funeral I'd go for something a bit sexier. Neckline is a bit blah.

What's the occasion?

I like it, but it's expensive for what it is.

£300 for that baggy sack of a dress? Ok for a funeral if it cost £30 but what on earth would you wear it to otherwise?

That's a lot of money for such a boring dress. I don't like it at all, sorry.

I think for that price there are loads of nice dresses you could have. It's ok but yes boring.

What's the occasion and your shape, height etc?

don't like it at all. there's much better choices for that amount of money!

Boring, and frumpy

this or this are similar but cheaper

I love black dresses but wouldn't buy that one. I recently bought a more fitted one with pearl necklace and low back in monsoon for 90 that I will try to link. It's similar but a bit more to it IYSWIM

Boring, quite worky looking and ridiculously expensive. Sorry. Am a fan of black dresses, but wouldn't buy that one.

Bloody hell £300 for that :-O Er, no.

yes its the most boring dress i ever did see

Yes boring, and expensive.

Yes boring, and expensive.

Would't pay £30 for a dress that boring. Sorry.

Have you bought it already?

If yes, I like it and think it's very versatile. You could do a lot with it.

If no, I still like it but it's waaay too expensive for what it is.

The Jager one that tethersend linked to is fab - far nicer than the escada one.

£300 for that?! Sorry but so overpriced! Lots of lovely dresses about for around the 30-55 price mark. You don't need to spend that much at all especially on something so plain.

no I haven't bought it yet. I have actually bought a polka dot Jaeger dress but am hving second thoughts about it. [I thought it might be one that Tethers linked to but no]!

The occasion is not a funeral (although it would obviously be suitable for that)!!! but a birthday party at a smart hotel in London. I just want something I can use again - as burnishedsilver says, it's very versatile. I like the neckline and the sleeves. I thought perhaps I could accessorise it into interestingness... I'm thinking impactful shoes, bag, jewellery.

My size - I'm a "boyish" figure, ie., not much of a figure, flat chest etc., size 12, 50 yrs old, 5 foot 6 inches, short fair hair, blue eyes, nice legs, podgy tum.

p.s. where are all the lovely dresses for £30-£55?

Agree that the Jaeger one Tethers linked to is way nicer. Y
Sorry OP but yours looks like a very expensive sack!

I would like it to be well made, good quality, and to last a long time.

Surely Jaeger ticks all those boxes?

well I think the Jaeger one I've already bought is a bit boring and I don't really like the one linked to above
