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.

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.

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

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
