I can't decide if I like it or not.

She is being eaten by a giant green creature.

Dozer · 21/05/2017 18:39

Only OK as a stage costume.

missyB1 · 21/05/2017 18:40

No the cut of the dress is fine but the pattern ruins it.

DisappearingFish · 21/05/2017 18:43

Grin so that's a no then?

Not keen on a number of levels but especially don't like the hem

Seqkat · 21/05/2017 18:47

I really like it up to the see-through hem, which doesn't fit with ANY of the rest!

Bluntness100 · 21/05/2017 18:50

I usually like lk Bennett. This dress is the exception,😱,

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 21/05/2017 18:51

I'm clearly the exception, I really like it! Would look gorgeous with gold accessories.

DisappearingFish · 21/05/2017 18:51

I was thinking of getting it altered so the hem was in line with the rest of the dress.

No from me...

beachbodyunready · 21/05/2017 19:03

I prefer the back to the front, but on the whole I dislike the dress.

MadameSzyszkoBohush · 21/05/2017 19:05

I like it!

honeylou42 · 21/05/2017 19:05

No

TheMasterNotMargarita · 21/05/2017 19:07

No.
The colour combination is not right and it looks a little unfinished.
The shape is not good.

TheMightyMing · 21/05/2017 19:07

No ! Sorry . I used to love LK Bennett but it's gone really off in recent years .

HeyRoly · 21/05/2017 19:10

No. It looks horrible on the model, which I find doesn't bode well when it comes to trying it on at home.

I also really dislike the mesh hem hanging lower than the hem of the dress.

originalbiglymavis · 21/05/2017 19:16

It looks like the shell has shrunk.

Madbengalmum · 21/05/2017 19:17

No,no,no

ButterfliesandMoths · 21/05/2017 19:19

Sorry but it's a no from me as well

MaryThorne · 21/05/2017 19:25

No, definitely not from me

onalongsabbatical · 21/05/2017 19:26

Definitely things wrong with it, what leaps out at me is the placement of the pattern - is it embroidery? It has a kind of pincer feel to it - like the green bits are some kind of nut-cracker, or, as someone said, she's being eaten by a green creature. It's the jaw-like action of the pattern. I think that's why the back's a bit better, it doesn't close in in the same way.

NurseButtercup · 21/05/2017 19:26

I like it but, I wear a lot of bright colours with contrasting patterns. Not everybody's cup of tea. I'm not sure about the mesh/see through hem...don't understand this trend. Have you tried it on yet?

DisappearingFish · 21/05/2017 19:29

Haven't bought it yet, am watching it on eBay. Shall I remove it from my watch list?

No. Especially the back view with the very visible seam / zip in the mesh
