I saw it in Debenhams at the weekend on a mannequin and just can't decide if I like it or not. The fabric kind of looks like a waffle tea-towel which is clearly awful. And I'm not sure about the colour. But I still find myself strangely drawn to it!

No. Too orange and a bit frumpy.

No, it's awful. It's a boring shape that they've tried to make more interesting by making it a jazzy colour.

Look in Whistles - lovely dress in similar colour with great cut.

MrsLettuce · 18/04/2016 20:57

Yes and no. Orange is great. The back is lovely. If you've got a bit of an edge to you / your look it could be fab. It could equally easily be frumpy.

Have you tried it on?

SirChenjin · 18/04/2016 21:00

Yes I like the style - it's a fit and flare Audrey thing, isn't it? Don't like the colour at all though, and the shoes just look hideous with it.

MrsLettuce · 18/04/2016 21:02

this is nice

No haven't tried it on, just saw it on our way whizzing through Debenhams to the car park. I looked it up on the website when we got home and have added it to my basket but am still hesitating.
I like bright colours so maybe that's dazzling me! That and the fact it's a decent length which is rare for dresses on me (I'm 5'11"). Will have a look at the other suggestions.

I definitely don't have an edge sadly, would tend more towards the frump side of the scale. Blush

sucking I guess this is the whistles dress you meant? The problem is the length, the model is just a touch shorter than me and I'd like something below-the-knee.

mrs lettuce, can't get the asos link to work?

OP posts:
SuckingEggs · 18/04/2016 21:42

Pricey though and maybe too dressy?

MrsLettuce · 18/04/2016 21:42

ASOS is being pants with links ATM. Was the 'Love Debutante Textured Prom Dress' but it's on rather than under the knee, I'm afraid.

ToastyMcToastface · 18/04/2016 22:01

Lovely dress sucking but def too pricey! It's not for a particular occasion, just an out and about dress. I think I'll give the orange tea towel one a go, can always send it straight back!

I like it, I think it's the cut, it's quite clean and elegant. I like the colour, it stops it from being too 'dressy'
Glad you're going to order it, let us know what you think when it arrives!

ToastyMcToastface · 18/04/2016 22:21

Yikes Derek I'd be showing my knickers and have my boobs hanging out in that one! I think my days of sexy side boob are well behind me

I think it's a great colour - wish I could wear it. There's something about the cut that doesn't look quite right to me but I can't put my finger on what it is. It might just be too big on the model. Maybe try it with a proper belt instead of that silly tie thing?
