And, if you like it, what would you wear with it?

I think it's pretty. I would wear in with a blazer and black tights.

tethersend · 03/04/2015 17:31

I don't like it, sorry- I think it's the neckline, it's a bit frumpy; neither high nor low enough.

Quite like the print though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/04/2015 17:35

Love the print but agree neckline is a bit weird. Would need to try it on - think it might make my bust look enormous though.

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/04/2015 17:35

I never wear low necklines though.

OP posts:

I like it - the shape looks nice.

tethersend · 03/04/2015 17:38

I quite like this which has a similar print...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/04/2015 17:47

Coast one is cotton though - and GP stuff is usually too long and droopy on me, and quality often not v good.

I don't like it sorry - I don't like the print.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/04/2015 17:55

The print is my favourite thing about it. :)

OP posts:
FauxFox · 03/04/2015 17:56

I like it but it's neither casual nor dressy so i'd struggle to decide when to wear it I think...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/04/2015 17:59

It's v dressy for me! I was thinking to a wedding - no good?

OP posts:
FauxFox · 03/04/2015 18:02

Not sure...If I had to style it I would go for opaque tights, biker books, leather or denim jacket etc I think the print is too 'rock' to go with pink heels and a pashmina for a wedding...the shoes on the model frump it up massively too.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/04/2015 18:03

I would never, ever be wearing pink heels and a pashmina! Grin

Lol Grin

FauxFox · 03/04/2015 18:11

Black bag, bare legs, strappy shoes might work, these are from NAP and might show the effect?

I love it! In fact I think I might buy it for myself. I would wear it for work with black wedges in summer or shoe boots until then.

blueshoes · 03/04/2015 18:43

Are you confident about your upper arms? I am not and that shape dress would do nothing for me.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/04/2015 18:44

What might look nice over it, other than a black blazer? NOT a pashmina!

OP posts:
Blarblarblar · 03/04/2015 19:38

It could work for a wedding how about a little black cardi NO PASHMINA NO!!!

Blarblarblar · 03/04/2015 19:39

Wow that was a total fail sorry, not sure how to add a pic. Anyho also some bright red lippy.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/04/2015 20:12

Red lippy is a given!

Will try it on, I think.

OP posts:
MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 03/04/2015 20:12

I think it's lovely! As another PP suggested I would wear it with opaques, boots and a leather or denim jacket (casual). It reminds me of the Noa print from Mint Velvet.

Blarbar's cardigan looks ideal for dressing it up for a wedding to me.

mewkins · 03/04/2015 20:20

I like the print but think the shape is a bit 90s. And not in a good way.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/04/2015 20:21

I'm a short-arse, so it wouldn't be anywhere near as mini on me. And maybe a little cardigan or jacket would make the shape a bit less of an issue, do you think?

Wear a shrug
