Apparently it’s amazing, suits everyone, v flattering on all shapes, yadda yadda yadda. Sold out in about 3 seconds earlier this summer. I didn’t like it much but the power of advertising....

Well, they’ve brought out another version of it. This one here

Does anyone have it and is it really as good as they say? Help save

  1. me from returns
  2. my money or at least help me spend it wisely
  3. look like a tit

I doubt it suits everyone if the model looks a bit frumpy in it...

AwkwardAsAllGetout · 22/07/2018 19:17

Ooo I like that apart from the bloody stripe down the side. It looks like you’ve put on weight and had it let out badly.

Hermanfromguesswho · 22/07/2018 19:17

Why has it got a weird black line all
Down the side?!

AsAProfessionalFekko · 22/07/2018 19:18

What is the purpose of the go faster stripe down the side?

I'm not keen in the Freddie Mercury striped trousers that is very popular at the moment.

Ididnthearanything · 22/07/2018 19:18

I quite like the weird stripe.

I can’t be of much help as I disagree with the hype and think it’s awful!
I think it looks silly with the pumps too. I’ve seen a hundred nicer summer dresses.

Rainhunter · 22/07/2018 19:19

It's fugly

FrankiesKnuckle · 22/07/2018 19:21

Sold out you say?

Did they only make one in each size?

nicebitofquiche · 22/07/2018 19:21

I like it. But think it'd only look good on someone tall thin and young.

goose1964 · 22/07/2018 19:22

I'd wear it

Ididnthearanything · 22/07/2018 19:22

I wish I could try it on. Couldn’t see it in my local branch.

I’ve seen plenty of it on Instagram and I think it looks nice there but y’know that’s just a probably cleverly taken photo.

Ionlylookatthepictures · 22/07/2018 19:22

Its bloody horrible and the instagrammers are only banging on about it because they’re being paid to. In reality they wouldn’t be seen dead in it.

Don’t believe the hype Wink

IWouldLikeToKnow · 22/07/2018 19:24

I like it, but I know that elasticated band will sit right on top of my tummy, accentuating it!!!

Wowzel · 22/07/2018 19:25

It's pretty ugly tbh

AdoraBell · 22/07/2018 19:26

Ooh, that made dizzy. If they don’t have in your local how about the website? You can return it if you don’t like it.

Ididnthearanything · 22/07/2018 19:26

Frankies they made a different version with an orangey stripe earlier in the summer. Hang on.

Old version. I didn’t like it much but the flooding of advertising has broken me Grin and I’m considering the newer version.

UghFletcher · 22/07/2018 19:27

I'd rather the infamous eBay summer dress.

Not loving the go faster stripe or the fact they have twinned it with pumps. It just looks weird Hmm

TreasureInMyTummy · 22/07/2018 19:29

Not for me though I do like it has pockets!

LightAsTheBreeze · 22/07/2018 19:30

You would have to be very slim waisted to wear that with all that elastic or else it would ripple , fold and cling, even moreso as it is a very light colour. Not many people over 50 have a slim waist, speaks from experience here, tall size 12-14 fairly slim 60 year old with thickened waistline.

Ididnthearanything · 22/07/2018 19:30

Don’t know the eBay one. Any good?

Anyone around that owns the new or old version? Where are all the people that made the first version a total sell-out??

confusedandemployed · 22/07/2018 19:33

Omg that's awful. May look OK on a twig but t I have norks to house...

SinkGirl · 22/07/2018 19:33

That’s quite possibly the ugliest dress I’ve ever seen

SinglePringle · 22/07/2018 19:33

I have this. It looks awesome on me. It suits my shape (tall, slim, long legged, short backed with boobs). I’m 47.

Whilst wearing it, I got stopped in the street by a 27 year old.

LivesToTravel · 22/07/2018 19:35

Not keen myself but that’s probably because I can’t get past the shoes! With heels maybe

WindyWednesday · 22/07/2018 19:36

From a distance it’s going to look like a cream dress with a stripe isn’t it.

What’s the eBay dress
