Honest opinion of this dress please?

[Kitee]

I have a work do next week and was going to order this. I’m terrible when it comes to making decisions about clothes.

I’d probably wear tights and black heels, not sure about a jacket or coat?
Is it too officey for an evening event? I’m clueless

Thanks.

It's nice (though not my style at all)

I think if you wear sheers (perhaps 30 denier) instead of opaques and add some blingy jewellery + red lippy it will lose any office connotations it might have.

I like it

And no I don’t think too Office-y

Its fine :)

I like it. It's striking. I think black opaques would be too heavy though.

breakable I think that’s why I’m swaying, I don’t know if it’s my style either - I don’t think I have a style!

Thanks blue

And yes sheer tights, black would be too much i think.

I like it

But what kind of do is it? Just asking, because it's not very 'party-y' IMO x

Cuckoo it’s a sort of drinks/ snacks/ canapés thing. Not too formal but not a “party” if that makes any sense.

I don’t like it, but only because of the shape at the bottom and the neck. I like the black and white of it. I think you’d need good arms as the ends of the stripes might make your arms look wider than they are.

I think it's quite office wear & more expensive than I'd expect

I think it is okbut only ok. It depends how flattering it is on you and how you feel wearing it. I'm amazed it is £118. It doesn't look that expensive.

Hmm I know what you mean about the arms caulk although I like to think mine are ok even if they weren’t what they were ten years ago

Still swaying on whether to get it.

I know, I don’t normally spend that much but I cannot find anything else I even remotely like.

I guess I could send it back if it’s awful on me but I don’t have a huge amount of time!

I really don’t like it. Makes me think of someone who is still wearing 90’s Karen Millen.

Also - those stripes make the (probably) size 6-8 model look ‘wide’ across the hips (and she ain’t).

It’s fine if you have good arms and slim hips. I think the cut of the hips could be unflattering if you are pear shaped.

I really don't like it at all. As a pear shape it would look hideous on me.

I don't like it much either, sorry. I can see the 90s Karen Millen thing! I think you'd have to be tiny for it to be flattering. Good arms and not a hint of armpit fat

Haha ok maybe time to reconsider 😂

I'd be a bit concerned about the length as well. Depending on how tall you are, it could end up being that really unflattering regulation school skirt length.

smiling I’m 5’5” so kind of in between, with heels 5’8”

All I can think of is old school Karen Millen now 👀

I am afraid SinglePringle's assessment is spot-on

Don't wear tights, especially sheer ones .

Pair or with a bright bag/jewellery and strappy heels.

It will still look office but less so.

Since it's a work do you probably still want to look a bit officey, the same kind of shapes as you wear at work, just a tiny bit more bling.
