Yay or nay

dress

Have bought this, expecting it to not be great. It's lovely.

I know we are not loving maxi dresses, but could this be excused? With a pair of wedges and delicate necklace for summer.

Nay from me, sorry.

I'm all for maxis. On the model the colour looks a bit wishy washy and a bit like a nightie as a result. Think you would need to be reasonably tan and add some colour. If you suit neutrals it would work,looks floaty and light for a summer holiday.

I'm a hater of maxi dresses, unless you're stick thin, so you don't look square, it's not gaudy or nylon. This doesn't tick any of my 'bad' boxes, but boy, that's one ugly dress (sorry).

Posted too soon - it doesn't seem to know what it is. Frilly, long, straight, buttoned blouson. Too much, and none of it nice.

Oh nay. Hell nay.

It's a raggedy victorian nightie and the colour is foul.

I'm a cool, muted summer on my colour analysis, so the colour is fine i think (though I would have preferred the pink)

Its just very pretty in the flesh. It also fits in the right places and is long enough (i'm 5'10" so struggle with length)

Sorry, I think it's horrible. But if you like it, get it.

I think on the right person it would look stunning. I actually really like it on the asos model, despite her being pale.
Would look hideous on me by the way!

I'm clearly a lone voice, but I like it...

You're not happy hippy, I like it too!
Am guessing by your name, you would also look fab in it???

I do like it but I think you would have to have a very certain bohemian type of look to carry it off. And be very slender.

I like it too. I wouldn't wear that colour personally but I know it would suit lots of people.

I'm finding it hard to see past how utterly dreadful it would look on me.

Size 12 on 5'10" slender enough? Does it have to be 8 slender!

Yeah, I think that is slender enough - esp as you are nice a tall.
As long as you aren't overly well endowed - I think big boobs might make it a bit "tenty".
When does it arrive?

I think it is really nice. I love maxi dresses!

Yay.

Already here, much prettier in the flesh. Maybe I will keep and use as a lovely nightie!!!!!

You are the best judge of how it looks. We cant see how it looks on. You must have reservations though or you wouldnt have asked. You would have just happily hung it in the wardrobe.

It looks a bit like the Turin shroud.

I like it.

Tall and slender, it's Edwardian/romantic/bohemian all rolled into one!

I'm a bit old now but I would have worn this when younger.

Turin shroud made me chuckle!

I like maxi dresses but that is rather like a nightie, sorry.

Nay. But that's in part because I can't see how it could look good on anyone. If it DOES in face look good on you, then keep it.

I'd be wanting to toughen it up (sorry to use that generally hated expression!) it take the frill and delicacy out of it and steer it away from looking like a nightie.

Well, I'm 5'10", size 10, 32D boobs (but haven't had a bra intervention yet, so perhaps not! ;)), and I'd wear it. It looks like something I'd get lots of use out of in summer, actually!

(I didn't know that maxi dress hate was a mumsnet thing...I love me a maxi )
