If you are slim (well, it only goes up to a 14, so you must be) & leggy.

Unforgiving if you are short & round.

southeastastra · 08/03/2007 21:29

no

crispyduck · 08/03/2007 21:31

Yes I think it would be lovely or maybe with foorless tights...

PeachesMcLean · 08/03/2007 21:33

Unless you're very tall and funky and can get away with it. Otherwise very definitely not. Would look dreadful on me.

What's the occasion?

quadrophenia · 08/03/2007 21:33

I wouldn't, think it will cheapen the dress

Blossomhill · 08/03/2007 21:37

Wouldn't want bare legs though :S

You'll look fab int hat BH.
It's how I'd wear it it I had your figure.
Without leggings I'd think it too girly, too slutty tbh, with leggings it's cool, trendy, sexy etc.

And I know about these things

How you been anyway?

Yes definitely cool with leggings Lovely. Hmmm.....may nick your idea

quadrophenia · 08/03/2007 21:42

I actually think it would like nicer with jeans which i know sounds bizarre given my earlier comment but with slouch jeans would look super cool

Blossomhill · 08/03/2007 21:45

Aww thanks

TC ~ how are you babes? Looking after that little bump I hope

I am ok like you with dd I have had a terrible start back to half term but thankfully she is much more settled now. Hope things are same your end. Wouldn't a meet up be lovely xxx

footless

Blossomhill · 08/03/2007 21:50

don't take any notice of me btw i'm old

quadrophenia · 08/03/2007 21:52

yep skinny jeans also, with nice boots, flats I would say and pointy, i don't dislike leggings as such but think you would have to accessorize alot to look dressed, so a big neck scarf with a big bag etc

quadrophenia · 08/03/2007 21:52

and mad hair!!

theheadgirl · 08/03/2007 21:53

Yes but would look better with flat shoes imo

quadrophenia · 08/03/2007 21:55

I would be tempted though (if I were slim dress not an option for me !!) to wear it with a pair of loudish coloured tights and boots seriously that would look evry cool, aubergine tights!!

PeachesMcLean · 08/03/2007 21:55

Now I'm just jealous cos you're clearly tall and skinny after all given the other comments on here. Grrrr....!

Skinny jeans might look better.

Mhamai · 08/03/2007 22:00

No no no to loud tights imo, the dress is "busy" enough, you want a neutral tone for contrast.

SparklyGothKat · 08/03/2007 22:02

yes to leggings, I like it, might buy it myself...

Mhamai · 08/03/2007 22:03

Hell what do I know, I bought a hippy smock today ad I feel like I look like that Greek big singer Demis Rousoss [sp?] [

TeeCee · 08/03/2007 22:05

BH - actually yes a meetup would be properly lovely.
Do you wanna get busy over on SN's?

Mmmmm skinny jeans would be good too. What's the event?

Blossomhill · 09/03/2007 09:01
