For a wedding. I'm 46, size 12, shoulder length dark hair...

I love it. It's a great colour. I might actually order one...

Madbengalmum · 07/03/2018 18:22

Not for me sorry, looks more Christmas than wedding.

itstheyearzero · 07/03/2018 18:23

Really? I was preparing for everyone to say no! I love the colour...what colour shoes, bag etc though?

I love it! Gorgeous shade. Classy shape.

I don’t like it. A whole velvet dress seems tacky unless you’re a little girl at Christmas.

IHaveBrilloHair · 07/03/2018 18:26

What time of year?
I like the dress for Autumn/winter but it needs to be dressed up a bit.

WunWegWunDarWun · 07/03/2018 18:26

I love the material and colour, but the shape is really awful and unflattering.

itstheyearzero · 07/03/2018 18:27

Its late summer...

I don’t think the wrap v-neck looks right with the soft drapiness of lower down...?

Peanutbuttercups21 · 07/03/2018 18:29

Looks an unflattering cut to me (bit shapeless? Neckline too high?

Fekko · 07/03/2018 18:29

It doesn’t look like velvet though. I love textures clothes. The colour would loook rotten on me and I find dresses never fit properly on bust/waist/hips unless it’s a streatchy material. But at that price you can afford fancy underwear.

Madbengalmum · 07/03/2018 18:29

Definately not if its summer!

itstheyearzero · 07/03/2018 18:32

Ah well I've ordered it. For that price its worth a punt. And it can always go back. I do suit a wrap dress, ordered one from ASOS which fit beautifully. The colour (blush) did nothing for me though. Such a shame.

I like it. It would look lovely with dark hair and it's a very vibrant colour, neckline is high.

LadyPenelopeCantDance · 07/03/2018 18:43

I’m on the fence with this one. The bust is quite strange on the model, seems like it doesn’t fit very well. Hopefully it will sit nicer on you Smile

I hope you like it when you get it OP. TBH you get what you pay for. I tried on some dresses from this line a while ago and the quality was awful.

It looks like a £15 dress for someone frumpy and far beyond your years and size.
