do you have exquisite legs?

NomDePlume · 07/09/2006 08:26

I'm not keen, TBH.

What would you be wearing it for, occasion-wise ?

I think the length is v tarty (sorry), but as you are only dinky then it mightn't be so obviously short

FrannyandZooey · 07/09/2006 08:27

Listen to the Badger, NP

she is wise and whiskery

Medulla · 07/09/2006 08:28

I'm afraid I'm with NDP - but tarty! Unless you are very young and have an amazing figure! Sorry, not what you wanted to hear!

Flamesparrow · 07/09/2006 08:29

It looks very Nicole Richie... is that a look you really want?

IdrisTheDragon · 07/09/2006 08:31

Bit tarty TBH. Sorry.

Not sure of those arms tbh, think it looks out-dated. And yes, you would have to be a size 10 at best to carry it off I reckon.

MrsBadger · 07/09/2006 08:35

aha the plot thickens... will DH appreciate it?

How old are you nailpolish (if you don't mind me asking?) and have you got a good figure? Sorry to be a bit blunt!

I bet he does!

MamaG · 07/09/2006 08:38

think you need gazelle legs to carry this one off really!

FrannyandZooey · 07/09/2006 08:38

I think if it suits your shape then it is a fab glam outfit for a special night out. Why not?

MamaG · 07/09/2006 08:39

its the sort of dress I would have worn when I was 18-24, but now keep for sex

MamaG · 07/09/2006 08:39

age that is, not size

Chloe55 · 07/09/2006 08:45

Well if you are a size 10 (lucky cow ) and your dh adores it then sod what us lot think - go for it!

oxocube · 07/09/2006 09:17

Don't like it at all Nailpolish. Sorry. One of those things which probably only look good on v beautiful models

mazzystar · 07/09/2006 09:20

I think its amazing.

BUT and its a big BUT I think those kind of chiffony blousey pussybow tops look fab and edgy on really young girls. But make anyone older look like Maggie Thatcher. (even with their legs out!)

Beetroot · 07/09/2006 09:22

If dh adores it, you are thin, and you feel good in it, then I would go for it....Don't go out alone in it though!
