It's fecking horrendous. Keep your money.

IHaveBrilloHair · 12/04/2018 23:09

Oh gosh that's horrible.
Imagine those flappy legs when you're walking around, you'll look ridiculous.

Bouledeneige · 12/04/2018 23:10

Yes its the fabric (and a little the style - not sure about the shorter legs). You will sweat in the fabric and it could stretch and bunch at the bum and knees. I'd not risk it - find something more elegant.

Good God, No!!

Looks like a sock with the toes cut off.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 12/04/2018 23:15

It's bliddy horrible.

Puts me in mind of the knitted bathing suits we used to have when I was a kid (though they didn't have "trousers", obviously)

AnyFucker · 12/04/2018 23:15

Nasty

Wdigin2this · 12/04/2018 23:16

Ummm, I don't like it, it looks like chain mail!

MyMagicStars · 12/04/2018 23:16

Pretty awful. Looks like it's made out of fluffy steel wool.

SleightOfMind · 12/04/2018 23:17

It’s terrible!
The weather is just about to warm up too so the last thing you want is something woolly and scratchy.

Step away.

MelanieCheeks · 12/04/2018 23:17

Wow that's dreadful!

I like it. If I had the figure and was younger then I'd wear.

moodyblues · 12/04/2018 23:19

Lovely if you are 15 and a size 8. Otherwise, no.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 12/04/2018 23:20

You're tall OP so you're going to get a wedgie in that.

The reviews are funny though. Someone has written "I look adorable in it" Grin

FrancisUnderwood · 12/04/2018 23:21

I quite like it, but it absolutely is one of those pieces which will loiter in your wardrobe, unworn, for a decade.

adayatthebeach · 12/04/2018 23:23

Anyone very thin and under 18 I’d say couldn’t wear this.

Bowerbird5 · 12/04/2018 23:24

Honest opinion: I think it is ghastly! Sorry.

adayatthebeach · 12/04/2018 23:24

Sorry could wear it. Blush

PercyPigAddict · 12/04/2018 23:29

On my screen the photo loaded from the top down... I was like "Ooh yes, nice fabric, nice little straps..." and it was all going so well until the legs were revealed Shock It would be alright if they were full length. The golden rule is if they can't make it look good on a model (with hours of lighting, styling re-touching etc) it's not going to look good on anyone else.

LanaorAna2 · 12/04/2018 23:33

Hard to wear. Size up twice, with trainers, would look good on you.

RockingMyFiftiesNot · 12/04/2018 23:33

Depends what it looks like on you. On me it would look ridiculous, on my DD it would look amazing. You can’t just say it looks awful, it so depends on the wearer

BonsaiBear · 12/04/2018 23:37

Erm..my first thought was it looks like something you would dress a toddler in. I don't think this would look good no matter what your figure was.

Whatdoiladymcbeth · 12/04/2018 23:38

I like this, I imagine I’m younger than most here though. May I just say that misguided is shit quality with a cut to match. Your figure may be beautiful but the lines and quality of their clothing will do you no favours.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/04/2018 23:39

Lovely if you are 15 and a size 8

My DD is , and her opinion on this outfit is Hell No !.
