I totally love it and it looks amazing. Dd and dm have laughed me out of the shop though

I like it, but those bloody shoes are awful.

notyummy · 30/05/2015 20:08

It will work in a few people but I suspect is hard to pull off.

ItsRainingInBaltimore · 30/05/2015 20:10

I think it's awful, sorry. Very oddly proportioned and not elegant. Anything that is as wide as it is long is always a mistake. Even for skinny people.

ancientbuchanan · 30/05/2015 20:15

When will you wear it? Will look great in the evening or party where dancing, bit meh otherwise ? Made to move in.

pinkfrocks · 30/05/2015 20:15

Ghastly, darling.

Looks like a sack or a poncho gone wrong.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2015 20:17

I like it, but can't imagine many 'real' people who could make it work.

GreenEggsAndNaiceHam · 30/05/2015 20:18

Love it.

Wouldn't suit me, but you say it looks amazing on you, so go for it.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 30/05/2015 20:21

I'm with your mum and Daughter I'm afraid.
It will flatter no one regardless of height weight or colouring. And if there was a gust of wind you'd be showing the world and his wife next weeks washing.
It also looks like a mini dress for vampire

Saurus72 · 30/05/2015 20:24

I think if you love it, and love the way it looks on you, get it! I think it's something that's memorable and therefore hard to wear multiple times. It is also definitely a 'statement' - that is neither negative or positive though, it's just a fact.

Fancy dress only.

burnishedsilver · 30/05/2015 20:28

I feel like you should have a superman stance wearing it but for some reason I quite like it.

MistressMerryWeather · 30/05/2015 20:29

I like it. :)

MerdeAlor · 30/05/2015 20:32

Love it, go for it OP

PianoCat · 30/05/2015 20:36

love it, want it ... shame my legs aren't in better shape!

Greengardenpixie · 30/05/2015 20:38

I dont like it sorry. It looks fancy dress.

Dismalfuckers · 30/05/2015 20:42

It's great, if you are thin and young .

DaftSkunk · 30/05/2015 20:43

I really like it.

FatAli · 30/05/2015 20:45

I think it's a bit silly

BitOutOfPractice · 30/05/2015 20:45

I love it but I think you would have to be all these things to pull it off

  1. young
  2. thin
  3. funky
  4. going somewhere funky

But like I say, I love it

Grumpyoldbiddy · 30/05/2015 20:46

Ooh no, definitely fancy dress only.

CaTsMaMmA · 30/05/2015 20:47

it's like someone cut Darth Vader off at the knees.

Haha you bloody meanies!
I'm slim, good legs, but 41. Short grey hair, asymmetrical, happy to wear different clothes - would be evening or city day with heels.

Dismalfuckers · 30/05/2015 21:22

Yes, then, sounds like you can carry it off!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2015 21:24

Not day.

Evening yes, if it looks good and you can pull it off.
