Not an order mistake, apparent colour variation.
What accessories!?
Its mid thigh, strapless, skater style block colour....think hot, Barbie pink.
Its for a graduation in September.
In my 20s, 5ft 2 with blond hair (want to avoid looking like Barbie!) . not a fan of wedges.
Trying to think through options before I go through the hassle of sending it back and looking again.

How about this one? Or lots of other ones on there. Apparently they are chainstore overstocks.

Pantsalive · 15/06/2015 12:37

Excellent!
Do let us know what it's like when it arrives. I'm intrigued by everything being so cheap but haven't bought anything yet. I keep looking at shoes.

I have bought from there before and the quality was, unsurprisingly, poor.

How poor is poor? Just the material? Fitting? Seams?

It's much worse than Primark. I bought a few things and the material and fit were a problem with all items purchased.

teal yes I know not strapless or sexy!!! For God sake stop pointing out what I've already accepted! Please stop posting, you first have a go at my chest size and natural hair colour (is my hair colour wrong for a graduation? Will they check my tit size before letting me in? No, so why comment? I only mentioned so it could be taken into account when looking at styles) now your just going over whats already been said! Move on and help suggest a dress that's in my budget or go away. I've had enough of you and your negative attitude towards me.

If you like Coral how about this?

Pantsalive · 15/06/2015 16:19

That's disappointing to hear koala but I suppose it's predictable. As I said I thought they were chain store stock.

Pantsalive · 15/06/2015 16:22

This one from Dotty P?

TealFanClub · 15/06/2015 16:24

Thanks teal, it does look nice! But what about my shoulders? Is it modest enough? Not in my size on the internet but am going to be near a store tomorrow so will have a look in there.

Don't think the watermelon one I've linked to could be described as chic! H&m options are all good OP
