What do you think - a dress for visiting the relatives over Christmas?

I have my little bit of sparkle already for evening time but just wondering what you make of this dress for visits to relatives over Christmas?

I usually live in jeans and don't really have any dresses so thought this might be nice with black opaque tights and knee high boots?

Where is it from?

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 12/12/2015 19:53

Thanks HappyGirlNow, it's an Oasis number I came across on ASOS. Hopefully it will look ok in real life!

a dress to sit on your Nan's sofa?

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 12/12/2015 21:21

My Nan died many years ago. You're very insensitive.

Don't like

Is very BHS Vanilla Sands

Sorry

Lweji · 12/12/2015 21:30

Do your relatives work for Vogue?

It's fine by me. Although my personal taste would add some colour.

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 12/12/2015 22:18

Donkey had to google BHS Vanilla Sands as there isn't a BHS here! Doesn't look like they're selling it anymore so I'm still clueless Grin

Lweji I will pick up on the wine colour in it. I see your point, thanks.

It's fine but will depend on the fabric. It looks like polyester, in which case I know that I wouldn't like it. In cotton/silk it could be lovely,

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 12/12/2015 22:36

Remus I agree with you completely. It is, however, made of viscose which seems to be everywhere these days, but I am hopeful that it will look nice enough to counterbalance what it lacks in the 100% natural fabric department Smile

Och it will be fine. Bit of bright lippy, ye'll be grand.

hiccupgirl · 13/12/2015 08:14

I think it looks great for Christmas visiting. Like you're making an effort but not over the top.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 13/12/2015 09:35

First glance it looked like one of those Nordic prints (but then I looked close it, it isn't must clean my glasses ) Blush

It's nice. It'll look good with the boots and thick tights then you can wear it later.
(I like viscose, very soft)
