Can anyone talk me out if buying this dress?

I love it, but I don't need it and shouldn't really be spending over £100 on a new dress, even if it is a total bargain!

Anyone want to talk me out of it??

It is polyester.

Luaa · 07/04/2019 09:42

It doesn't look like a £100 dress! It looks like it would be £20 from new look.

MorningsEleven · 07/04/2019 09:43

It's a very unflattering length.

Starryskiesinthesky · 07/04/2019 09:44

Its lovely - snap it up!

FaFoutis · 07/04/2019 09:45

It is 'ditsy' (shudder).

HappyMama01 · 07/04/2019 09:45

Omg that's stunning!!

Nowthenforever2019 · 07/04/2019 09:46

Does look exactly like a cheap new look dress OP.

Tomtontom · 07/04/2019 09:46

It's worth as much as somebody will pay for it. Given that it's substantially reduced, very few think it is worth that much.

It's not a bargain. It would be if it was about £20.

BlueHairDoCare · 07/04/2019 09:46

Look an £11 primark dress

How do they get away with it?!

Justonemorepancake · 07/04/2019 09:47

Can't wear a bra under that. Back too low, straps too thin

ShowOfHands · 07/04/2019 09:47

How is £100 on shitty fabric in an unflattering cut, a bargain?

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 07/04/2019 09:47

I actually love it, but I'd get to NL or H&M and buy a cheap version. £100 for that dress is nuts.

tabulahrasa · 07/04/2019 09:48

Is it a maternity dress?...

Happygolucky009 · 07/04/2019 09:48

Nope, too expensive for how it looks! When would you wear it ? Doesn't seem dressy enough for a formal event, frumpy for the pub and expensive for the school run! It's a no from me !

ComeTheFuck0nBridget · 07/04/2019 09:48

It's lovely!

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 07/04/2019 09:49

I really like and would get a lot of use out of it. I WISH I could find one just like it in New Look, but sadly I can not.

Magmatic80 · 07/04/2019 09:49

It doesn’t even flatter the model

Tomtontom · 07/04/2019 09:49

Omg that's stunning!!

It's nice enough, but omg stunning? Even on the lovely model it's OK, just OK.

PineapplePatty · 07/04/2019 09:49

That will be really unflattering around your waist and tummy unless you're stuck thin.

It looks like it costs £20 from peacocks.

daisypond · 07/04/2019 09:50

It’s frumpy

Monny1 · 07/04/2019 09:51

Not keen on it, it is nothing special imo.

Hoppinggreen · 07/04/2019 09:52

Buy it

Aimily · 07/04/2019 09:53

I like it, but you could probably pick up something v similar in new look, h&m or dotty ps for £20-£30

BabyDarlingDollfaceHoney · 07/04/2019 09:54

I've seen it in person and it really is beautiful. To be fair the pictures don't do it justice...
