All Saints Poseidon dress - should I or shouldn't I?!

[PacificDogwod]

I cannot decide.

It's turned up on ebay and I love the print.
But a little internet searching came up with this MN thread from some years ago.
I will never manage to actually get it on, will I?

Gawn, MN Style Gurus, make a decision for me!

Here it is

It's a beautiful dress but that picture on the listing looks like a promo picture so I'd wonder if the seller couldn't get it on either!

Hm, yes, I've been wondering too whether she had wrestled unsuccessfully one too many times with the dress and went 'Right! That's enough!! Off you go to ebay!'

I did think though that the pictures with the white background were hers, and not promo?

There's a dark grey/black version too, but a size 10…

Give it a miss. You'll end up trying to re-ebay it.

Yes. That had occurred to me too…

But I want it! And I want to love it!!

Darn you all for being so sensible and thank you. I needed that

What if it's the wee'd-on dress for the other thread? :)

It could be, couldn't it?! That had not occurred to me…
I could send the seller a question

I'm still loving the print.

Maybe I should be the size 10 one and cut it apart for the material alone. Snip, snip.

I'm kidding!

I've just looked for the dress on Gogle images to get a good look. The print is indeed absolutely gorgeous!

AS don't do much print, but when they do... wow.

I've just sent a message asking her whether she found it easy to put on.

Dammit, I am still interested!

I bought a top from there and I had to send it back because I couldn't for the life of me work out how to put the bloody thing on!

Ooh - any reply? I think it's one where there are a few different ways to wear it...

Yes! Just got a reply.
Wearable apparently a number of different ways, she only ever used 2, one of which was back to front

Not sure what to do.
I do love the print but it's still a fair bit of money for a used item.
I wonder how thick or flimsy the silk might be?

That print is stunning but I can only see one pic of anyone actually wearing it and to be honest, I don't think it does that much for her - and she's presumably a model.

I did not bid for it and now somebody else got it and I am upset.

Irrational, moi?!

There is a nice butterfly one….

That was me

I gave it to my niece in the end.

She never wore it, either

Really?!

I was wondering whether the MNer from the thread about how difficult it was to put on, was still around.

I had a narrow escape, then, yes? Pardon the pun

Yep. I can't believe that was 6 years ago! Jeez.

Yes, you had a narrow escape. It was a beautiful print, though.

The butterfly print is just as luck but I am sure the dress will be just as much of a pain. And that ebay offering is twice the price, so am really not interested.

Thanks for coming on this thread

lush, the print is lush, not luck

S'alright! I can't believe people still remember that thread.

Made me smile, remembering.

Same problem, I'm guessing, looking at that pic. Gorgeous fabric, wasted on a crap frock.
