Help! Do I look like a twit?

DP has just informed me that he has arranged swanky birthday drinks for me tomorrow. Have delved into my wardrobe in a bit of a mad panic.

Are people going to look at me with raised eyebrows...? I know most people will not give a tiny rats behind.

This is a little more daring than I would usually wear... I need reassurance or alternatively an intervention before I wear this out of the house.

Will obviously wear magic pants to keep the jiggly bits in... Blush I am also aware I am slovenly and the mirror is filthy...

Help! Do I look like a twit?

I think it looks lovely. If you feel comfortable in it and you won't be worrying all night about popping out, then go for it I say!

DrRanjsRightEyebrow · 09/07/2016 17:59

I love it. Might sew the slit up a couple of inches or an inch so it's not all the way down to the waist, then do you have a big or long necklace? Just to break up the chest area. You look fab. Have fun!

Dress is gorgeous. You look lovely.
I would love to wear that.

Juicyfrooty · 09/07/2016 18:02

You look gorgeous, go for it

ShelaghTurner · 09/07/2016 18:03

Love it. Sorry to be dull but you have a fabulous figure. I'd wear it on the school run if I looked like that! You need the confidence to carry it off but I guess if you own it in the first place then you have the confidence!

OjosWorld · 09/07/2016 18:05

You look amazing. I would add a real bling necklace too!
I couldn't wear it, far too many flabby bits. Go for it.

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 09/07/2016 18:06

You look lovely, definitely not a twit! It is daring, but you can pull it off.

If you suffer last minute nerves, then you could pin it/stitch it up a tad.

Would recommend very long necklace(s) with it.

areyoubeingserviced · 09/07/2016 18:07

Your may not even get e to your birthday celebrations if you wear this dress.
Your dh will see to that.
You look fabulous

WhatCanIDoYouFor · 09/07/2016 18:08

It looks desperate and cheap. That doesn't mean you don't have a nice figure but as this is an anonymous forum I can be brutally honest- I think people will be talking about this for all the wrong reasons- not jealous let's put it that way. It's the kind of thing a 17 year old trying and failing to ape Cheryl Cole would wear.

You have a good figure wear something more flattering.

LaraG13 · 09/07/2016 18:08

You look great. Dress looks great. Wear whatever you like, be happy and confident and enjoy your birthday!

Crisscrosscranky · 09/07/2016 18:10

You look fabulous. Please don't put a vest top on underneath it (I suspect those who have suggested this would also wear socks with sandals in case they rub... Wink).

I'm putting my third chocolate biscuit down now.

DereksGotATail · 09/07/2016 18:10

I love it. You have a fabulous figure.

ScarletPower · 09/07/2016 18:11

I would wear this all the time if I looked like you :-D

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 09/07/2016 18:13

Another one who thinks it's back to front.

Have to apologise but my initial response is 'put some clothes on'

It's -trashy-- OTT and looks ridiculous

DavetheCat2001 · 09/07/2016 18:14

I don't like it.

Sorry OP.

biddleyboo · 09/07/2016 18:14

I love it. You look stunning!

user1467042399 · 09/07/2016 18:17

If you've got it flaunt it
You look great,wear it
Don't wear a vest top
Go for it!

PreviouslyBannedToaster · 09/07/2016 18:19

Wear it. It's a swanky birthday drinks event for you
Fuck it, with your figure I'd even be inclined to go naked!

HmmmHashtag · 09/07/2016 18:20

WEAR THE DRESS. You look fab. It's below the knee so it's not like it's slutty. Wear it wear it wear it. YOLO and all that Wink

Nksw · 09/07/2016 18:20

Please don't apologise for not liking it! I am honestly glad of the opinions.

I've tried fixing it with body tape so the slit is higher and a little more demure and will probably get the sewing kit out shortly!

Thank you fuzzypeggy and imjessie for the idea. My panic brain hadn't thought of it. Very grateful.

I would say that dress is too revealing for somewhere "swanky." Far too much chest on display.

Sorry.

You look great in it, though.

MelanieCheeks · 09/07/2016 18:24

Ummmm, so with that low a frontage you'd be going braless? Do you need tit tape or anything to keep everything decent?

You have a fantastic figure.....but I really don't like the dress.

Idiotxit · 09/07/2016 18:24

It's very stylish and you can pull it off. Keep your hair/make up very simple but fab and maybe one simple bangle or something.

It's absolutely not trashy. The sleeve length, dress length and your figure keep it the right side of sexy. You look fabulous.

orangebird69 · 09/07/2016 18:25

Looms fucking awesome. Add some tit tape, black heels and a long necklace and you're golden. I am not jealous at all Envy
