Don't like the design personally but great it's 100% linen

Hoppinggreen · 27/04/2018 17:46

Don’t like it, sorry

Spartacunt · 27/04/2018 17:57

I like it... Hobbs have got 20% off in store at the moment

ZenNudist · 27/04/2018 17:59

Hate it. They have some truly awful fabrics in right now.

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 27/04/2018 18:17

I like the fabric.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/04/2018 18:24

I like it but the neck looks a bit high.

halfwitpicker · 27/04/2018 18:28

I like it: but I'd never wear it as I have chubby arms.

KirstenRaymonde · 27/04/2018 18:31

I think it’s fine but the shape would look totally wrong on me so I wouldn’t consider it for too long.

moreismore · 27/04/2018 18:32

I love it!

ShmooBooMoo · 27/04/2018 19:12

With plain bottoms and sandals it could look quite nice VIP20 online for 20% off at mo, not sure when till. HTH.

CuntPuffin · 27/04/2018 19:17

Don't like it. It's the sort of pattern my 7 year old DS would like though.

DairyisClosed · 27/04/2018 19:21

I could only imagine a very thin, very blonde, very tanned, very late thirties typecof woman who loves sunglasses wearing it.

TheDishRanAwayWithTheSpoon · 27/04/2018 19:21

I don't like the shape, that could just be because tops like that look terrible on me, but I have a top with similar pattern from top shop and I love it!

tierraJ · 27/04/2018 19:22

I don't like the pattern or the high neck - it would look better as a vest top.

JennyHolzersGhost · 27/04/2018 19:23

I never buy Hobbs because of its addiction to linen. It creases in seconds. I don’t need any assistance in looking like I’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 27/04/2018 19:40

The pattern's okay if you're going on holiday but I hate linen with a passion and I would be loathe to spend that much money on a fairly casual top.

RickOShay · 27/04/2018 19:51

Nope.

mimibunz · 27/04/2018 19:55

Not a good style for linen. It would bunch up at the bottom.

I think if you are wavering the answer is no Grin

MadMaryBoddington · 27/04/2018 22:27

I don’t like the shape or the print, personally. Hate high necks.

goose1964 · 27/04/2018 23:11

Hobbs always look frumpy on me

Mercurial123 · 28/04/2018 06:25

I like flamingo prints but not that one

Belindabauer · 28/04/2018 08:18

It's not for me.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 28/04/2018 15:24

Ive just seen it in the shop. I like the print but it looks 'faded'
The dress is nicer than the top and honestly the white background version looks more summery and fresh.
