Does this dress make you think gorgeous and autumnal or resembles a pair of curtains?

[ThroughTheLongNight]

I can't decide...what do you think of this dress please?

If I curled up in front of the fire in that dress I would be worried about being mistaken for the sofa grin

But I am quite well upholstered.

dismal

Op what about something like this??

just I do like that, although it's more the kind of dress I would wear for work. Where is it from?

Whispers..... M & co!

Through, know what you mean. Is it specifically velvet you want?

Curtains - sorry

The 1990s called - It wants its dress back.

Ahhh! OooooohMissDiane just beat me to it! 15 year old me would have loved that, teamed with ripped tights, DMs and too much eyeliner.

I don't mean that as a negative though. I do like it.

Yep, me too

I still like that look mind...

I thought Riverdance too (but I also kinda like it and am tempted to try it on myself....)

I really like it but I'm not sure it would work for an apple shape. I would wear it for the kind of do your saying though.

Can you get to a store to try it on - you could it into store in your size and then return it straightaway if it's hideous.

Very expensive curtains.
It's the combination of fabric and design, a plain block colour would be better.

Curtains and curtains in the home of a very aged great aunt who insisted that tea is always served in bone china and would give you stern looks if you stepped out of line.

Thanks for your honesty .

Trouble apart from the aged bit, you describe me to a tee.

Cheryl You have made my day. I think that is the first time I have ever been quoted in my 3 years active on MN! Sorry OP

Curtains or 70's carpet. Really is not great.

The other dress pictured on this thread is much nicer.

Oh bugger, I am obviously a frump, I love your dress

Toooldtobearsed You're not a frump, you're retro like Cheryl and I.

I actually quite like it as well and think it's fine for the type of party you want. It does look like it might be tight across the stomach though, it's difficult to tell in the pictures and on that model! Definitely one to try on.

And me, but I would have chopped the bottom off so it barely covered my backside.

I'd rather be retro than a frump.

I like the shape and the print, but I don't like the print combined with the velvet.

Not curtains, but you know those 70s pictures done on velvet? Sorry.
