Wow. That model is probably a 10 at most, makes her look a 16.

BitchPeas · 06/06/2016 15:55

God that's an awful cut. She looks massive when she's clearly not.

Sparkletastic · 06/06/2016 15:55

Oh jeez it makes twig model look like a tree trunk

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 06/06/2016 15:56

Oh I'veworn seen worse....it's pretty horrific though

Doublejeopardy · 06/06/2016 16:06

Its just an advert to waste £130 looking frumpy i defy anyone to look stylish in that it just the wrong proportions

BigGreenOlives · 06/06/2016 16:07

It says she's a 16 in the product details

LadyAntonella · 06/06/2016 16:08

That's horrid! It's equally ugly and unflattering.

Sparkletastic · 06/06/2016 16:11

No jeffing way is she a 16.

iniquity · 06/06/2016 16:12

I think its OK. I clearly have no taste then . wouldn't pay £130 though, maybe £15

OurBlanche · 06/06/2016 16:13

I'm a 16 and there is no bloody way I'd wear that !!!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 06/06/2016 16:18

It's clearly a plus size dress, I don't think it looks worse than a lot of plus size dresses on some other sites Confused

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 06/06/2016 16:20

Model is a size 16, the dress is unflattering though.

HangingRockPicnic · 06/06/2016 16:20

I had to check it wasn't a maternity dress.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 06/06/2016 16:20

Good God, it looks like the sort of maternity dress women wore in the 1980s! Hideous.

bombayflambe · 06/06/2016 16:22

Its a plus size dress: smallest they do is a 12. Model is a 16

Queenbean · 06/06/2016 16:23

Not as hideous as some of the stuff I've seen suggested on here as being fashionable!

See: brown frilly sack dress doing the rounds

Dozer · 06/06/2016 16:24

Reckon that's a size 8 model wearing the size 16. It'd probably actually look better on someone larger.

Damsel · 06/06/2016 16:24

The dress is horrific. I defy anyone to put it on and look good.

The model looks like she is a size 12 everywhere, apart from the part that the dress is covering. It almost looks like two separate bodies merged into one. Very odd.

Pinkheart5915 · 06/06/2016 16:31

What a very un flattering dress, does even fit the model properly

WorraLiberty · 06/06/2016 16:42

I don't think that dress could look flattering on anyone, no matter what their shape or size.

kaitlinktm · 06/06/2016 16:47

I know nothing about fashion (and care less) Wink but even I can see that this dress is dreadful.

youshouldcancelthecheque · 06/06/2016 17:16

it is flattering from behind.....

ocelot41 · 06/06/2016 17:23

Oh. My. Life

HangingRockPicnic · 06/06/2016 19:21

The woman looks slim, but the horizontal white piping lines on the waist and the frill make her tummy look out of proportion to the rest of her. Who needs a dress that makes your tummy look bigger than it is?
