What do you think of this dress

[shinynew]

Honesty welcome! It's for a wedding in a couple of weeks.

I'm having a confidence and style cris after becoming newly single.

Won't be with these shoes as they are incredibly painful.

Also if it's a yes, what nail colour? Dark red?

It's not really my cup of tea and not particularly flattering. I prefer something more fitted round the middle, or a shift dress but this dress is neither one thing nor the other.

I'm guessing you have a great figure but the dress makes you look a bit shapeless

It's a really lovely dress!
Might be the angle but it looks a bit big for you?

Thanks ladies, the sleeves are kimono style, so oversized definatley not too big elsewhere. The middle. I'm undecided.

The dress is a Size 10, I'm a 10-12 but all my weight is around my middle.

It’s a nice dress, but it looks a little big and like it’s hiding a nice figure. Agree with pp that something more fitted might suit you better.

Even if it isn't too big for you it looks like it is, not sure about it sorry

Can you post a picture taken straight on. At that angle with the sleeves in the way it looks a bit like a dressing gown tied round the middle.

I think you look fab

Not sure how to say this but it makes your boobs look, um, low. I think it's because the middle hides what is actually happening

It looks too big, it also looks to be a neither here nor there length on you. You have a lovely figure but this dress is trying to hide that fact.

Do you have a better bra to take a pic with that on?

Don't want to be mean but it looks like a frumpy dressing gown.
You have a lovely slim figure and there are a million other dresses out there that would flatter you and show off your figure better.

I'd wear it with a silver tone metal waist belt perhaps?

It does look like a dressing gown, sorry.

I also think it's frumpy, sorry.

Sorry my first thought was dressing gown too. You look like you’ve got a great figure and that looks like it swamps you. Something more fitted would be better.

Pretty colour but you need a better bra to hoist your boobs up imo

I also thought it looked like a dressing gown, sorry op. It flatters no part of you.

Dressing gown vibes here too. Sorry

Definitely looks like a dressing gown and hides what a nice figure you have.

Thank you everyone for the honest replies. I'm going to send it back and get something more fitted. X

I think it's lovely, and you look great in it. It doesn't look as though you need something more fitted, and it doesn't look as though it's swamping you - it looks just right.

You are so slim with such a good figure, you can go for something much more fitting than this!
This is a good dress to hide a multitude of sins - but you don't need to!

Just saw this- glad you are sending back- it looks like it’s swamping you and from this angle def looks big and not flattering. Think you’d be better with a waist at your natural waist? Good luck!

Good for you. You look lovely and the dress wasn't doing you any favours, so sending it back for something more fitted is a very good idea.
