No, because I don't look like the model and I'm too old for clubbing*. Time was I would've loved it.

*Not that there's a specific age cut off. It's just a feeling I have.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/03/2018 16:16

Horrible.

Xmasfairy86 · 03/03/2018 16:17

It doesn’t actually look overly flattering on the model. I’m not a fan!

Vile isn't it. Even on a young, slim pretty girl it looks really awful..the split thing is all wonky!

I just cannot imagine ever having the balls to wear a dress that skimpy!

Fair play to anyone who does/did though!

That would make me look just like one of the Fat Slags out of Viz.

Very much the fashion nowadays and I'm starting to come around to it even if I wouldn't wear it myself. I'm only 24 and still 'do' clubbing though.

This is from the same range..just deeply unflattering on any size/shape IMO

My 23 year old god daughter has that dress. She dresses it with trainers and looks magnificent.

I can imagine it would look a lot funkier with trainers

Oh sweet jeebus no. That second one is all kinds of no.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/03/2018 16:25

2nd one makes the 1st look almost okay. Beige bodycon is unlikely to be a good idea on anybody, whatever their age or size.

Knittedfairies · 03/03/2018 16:26

That second one is hideous! If it looks like that, on a professional model, photo taken by a professional photographer, then God help the rest of us..

SoFancy · 03/03/2018 16:26

Horrid, even on a gorgeous young model!

HangtheblessedDJ · 03/03/2018 16:27

Sorry DJ, no offence intended.

If she has the confidence then I bet she looks fabulous!

I'm just bored..waiting for my nails to dry so having a browse on ASOS.

I think I'm getting old as I'd say about 85% of the dresses on there would look ridiculous on me Sad

Fluffycloudland77 · 03/03/2018 16:46

Yes I would.

GeorgeTheHippo · 03/03/2018 16:49

Bloody hell 😮

Hispterwannabe · 03/03/2018 16:53

I’m not a fan of the dress and don’t think it looks particularly flattering on the model.

pigeondujour · 03/03/2018 17:01

I'm young and thin and couldn't pull that off, but I can imagine if you were even younger and thinner and had the right skin tone it could look great with trainers. Although I think you'd need to stay in one position all night in it.

Alabama3 · 03/03/2018 17:01

the second one would look good if she had some shape wear on, as it is it doesnt do her any favours

RyanStartedTheFire · 03/03/2018 18:30

I don't wear it myself Dave but appreciate that others do look nice in them. It's definitely a very young trend. I feel old compared to most of the girls around nowadays.

Undercoverbanana · 03/03/2018 18:35

No. I wear more than that when I go running and I run in a vest and running knickers.
