I absolutely love the colour (and price). Not entirely sure about the dress though, is it lovely or absolutely gopping and my hungover eyes can't see it?

It looks a bit like a Christmas tree, but it's ok. My flabby legs couldn't carry it off though!

JeffreysMummyIsCross · 20/12/2015 09:10

I really don't like the shape of it, sorry.

Penfold007 · 20/12/2015 09:10

If you've got the legs to carry that look off, go for it. I'd look like a stubby Christmas tree

WilburIsSomePig · 20/12/2015 09:10

Oh it does doesn't it? Maybe that's why it looks a bit familiar!

Legs are OK but I wouldn't say they're spectacular. Maybe a need to go a bit longer. I really, really love the colour but I think I might look a bit Pat Butcher in this...

I like it - although I think you'd have to be tall and slim to wear it. I wonder if it might look better with black opaques and high black heels? Confused

Hoppinggreen · 20/12/2015 09:13

Love the colour but it's very Christmassy so I don't think you would get a lot of wear out of it. Mind you it's quite cheap so go for it if you've got good legs

I love the colour too. I'm not sure about the dress. It's probably worth trying on.

WilburIsSomePig · 20/12/2015 09:20

OK, I most definitely DO NOT have a body like that model and I'm only 5'3 so I'm thinking I would look hilarious in this and not in a good way.

I need to keep trying to find a dress this colour!

It looks like what a lady elf would wear on a night out.

snowypenguin · 20/12/2015 09:42

It's ok. I think it would be better if it was longer.

Phase 8 generally do a lot of green stuff, but I'm not familiar with this season's collection.

DavetheCat2001 · 20/12/2015 12:46

I quite like it, and love the colour.

I agree though that you need to have good legs to carry it off though.

80sWaistcoat · 20/12/2015 12:50

I like it. So long as you don't accessorise with an elf hat it should be fine...

Design wise the top part is OK, I don't really like the bottom part. I think wearing that colour at Christmas would be a problem because of the "elf" green outfits, other times of the year would be fine.

Branleuse · 20/12/2015 12:56

it wouldnt suit me because of the blousey bit on top, but I think it could be great with certain body shapes. I like the peacock skirt and the colour.
Would prefer the skirt pattern to be all over and it to be more fitted or shift type

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 20/12/2015 12:56

above the knee ??? Barely arse skimming I'd say!

that is just going to emphasise upper arms bingo wings , the blousing is not nice please say that's not back in a big way and it's going to mean you have to stand up the entire time you have it on for fear of an inadvertent Sharon Stone.

Madbengalmum · 20/12/2015 13:01

Its not the nicest thing ive ever seen, its ok, just ok
