Help me decide if this dress is ace or just a sack?

gap dress

I can't decide if it's just a boring old sack or so simply stylish and versatile that I want one in every colour, including the stripes!

I see it with heels and a jacket for work, some jewellery for evenings, flat sandals for days out, a beach cover-up.....

I don't do very dressy and work is smartish casual, but it is essentially just a t-shirt. What do you think?

What is your size shape and height?

Sack! Sorry

Ooh I like that a lot, very Hush-esque. I think it depends on the fabric whether it looks nightie-ish. It says 'a thicker jersey' but it's 50% modal which can be very drapey and soft. Nice sandals, bag and jewellery and you're sorted.

Ah good point GoodToes. I'm 5'7" size 10, or 12 if the style's very fitted on the hips - pear shaped. Age 45.

Super if you have a super figure and height...

I don't like the length. Maxi or above the knee would be better.

PrimroseEverdeen · 20/04/2015 18:44

Sack. Looks awful even on the model!

Jumblebee · 20/04/2015 18:48

Vile, on any figure I'd imagineConfused

honeylou42 · 20/04/2015 19:08

I love it Smile

It's too long or too short. You could turn it up.

shadesofwinter · 20/04/2015 21:43

I think sack too. It's just too long and shapeless

Model5 · 20/04/2015 21:46

Oh good, if everyone hates it, it'll be in the sale before long Grin

I like it.

SwedishEdith · 20/04/2015 21:50

I'd worry about taking too long a stride and falling over though

Oly4 · 20/04/2015 21:56

Love it

Notcontent · 20/04/2015 22:35

Ok as a very casual dress with sandals or flip flops. Definitely not for work.

HelenF350 · 20/04/2015 22:40

Will look better on a pear shape than it would on me. Not keen on it to be honest though. I don't even think it looks great on the model.

christinarossetti · 20/04/2015 22:40

I think it's one of those things you'd have to try on.

I agree that it's a strange length. The model is 5' 10" and wearing a regular - it would be almost ankle length on anyone shorter.
