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

I tried this on at the time when it was in the shops and it is a lovely dress! Much more interesting than the usual (slightly staid) LK Bennett stuff - a bit more fashion-forward. Horses for courses though!

It just doesn't work, which is a shame because it could have been great. Looks like the designer got a bit lost and confused.

No
It even looks bad on model. Worse on real life

MrsLettuce · 21/05/2017 21:56

ClarePearBear but you decided not to buy it, why was that?

DisappearingFish · 21/05/2017 21:58

Dammit Clare you came in too late. The auction finished at 8.30pm and I let it go by. I bought a black Reiss one instead. I'll try to get a picture.

No. Especially if there's no way of returning it if you don't like it.

Bad photo but this is instead of the giant green people eating creature.

Ooh, love that! Great choice.

DisappearingFish · 21/05/2017 22:08

Phew 😳 and it was £25 rather than £65 for the first one.

Ooooo yes that's much better than the first one

surferjet · 21/05/2017 22:13

1st dress is actually ok.
2nd dress looks cheap ( sorry ) like something from a market stall.

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 21/05/2017 22:17

Congrats! You chose the right dressGrin

The first one was quite horrendous!

MrsLettuce · 21/05/2017 22:27

surferje no, the quality should be lovely. It's just badly photographed.

DisappearingFish · 21/05/2017 22:48

That's 👌 okay Surfer I look cheap myself so we'll match Wink

Second dress much nicer

You dodged a bullet

Sciurus83 · 22/05/2017 07:46

I kind of like it. But it does remind me of the invasive New Zealand pygmy weed too much to ever wear.

SilentlyScreamingAgain · 22/05/2017 08:29

The first dress looks like an artistic representation of period pain. The reproductive organs being chomped down on by a big, green period monster.

DisappearingFish · 22/05/2017 09:52

Giant green people eating creature.

Invasive New Zealand pygmy weed.

Artistic impression of menstrual pain.

Why do you never see these descriptions on the John Lewis website pages for womenswear. The world is a poorer place for their absence.

And those were exactly the looks I was going for and now the dress has passed me by.
