Really HONEST opinions on this dress please (pic)

Dowdy13 · 22/04/2019 19:34

I never wear dresses, I feel I’m too short 5’2 and at a size 16 I look like a ship in full sail.

DD has convinced me that this looks nice and will be lovely for summer evenings and holidays.

It feel very comfortable but i feel like a lumpen blob. I know I need to lose weight but I also need to look nice while I’m at least trying.

Completely honest opinions please as I’ve kept the ticket on it so far just in case it needs to go back.

Thanks

I think it looks
Lovely

AndItStillSaidFourOfTwo · 22/04/2019 19:37

You look fine, but I don't like the dress (or, specifically, the print - the shape's OK).

AndItStillSaidFourOfTwo · 22/04/2019 19:37

(For the sake of clarity I wouldn't like it on a size 8 woman either)

MrsMozartMkII · 22/04/2019 19:37

Looks very nice lass.

Enjoy it.

loveacupoftea18 · 22/04/2019 19:38

Looks lovely, I think it really suits your shape.

Fairylea · 22/04/2019 19:38

It’s okay but would look a lot better with a small v neck. The high neck isn’t very flattering being very honest.

ToastyFingers · 22/04/2019 19:39

I really like it. I'm not 100% sold on the pattern (although I don't hate it) but the cut is fantastic and you look really good! I'm jealous of your boobage, mine are sad and droopy and dresses like that just gape on me.

Br1ll1ant · 22/04/2019 19:39

It does indeed look lovely. It suits you

Dippitydoodle · 22/04/2019 19:39

I love it, looks really flattering in you!!

Floralnomad · 22/04/2019 19:39

I don’t like the dress , nothing to do with your shape .

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 22/04/2019 19:39

I really like it!

Hoppinggreen · 22/04/2019 19:40

Shape ok but not keen on the fabric.
Small v neck would be better too

Heymummee · 22/04/2019 19:40

I love that dress. Where is it from? It looks lovely on you

DantesInferno · 22/04/2019 19:40

I'm not keen
How old are you? The neckline/sleeves and pleats are quite old.

I think you would be better with a v neck, and maybe something to skim under your boobs, to go in around the waist, and then flare?

Di11y · 22/04/2019 19:40

it looks flattering and cool. I don't love the pattern and pleats at the bottom but that's personal opinion. I'm into colour.

LuckyLou7 · 22/04/2019 19:40

It looks really nice and you don't look like a lumpen blob. Keep it. You look lovely and summery.

lotusbell · 22/04/2019 19:40

Like others say, I like the style not sure on the print. I think the colour is drab. Its flattering on you but would look even better in a different pattern or colour. You look like you have good legs so I think you could get away with slightly shorter. Are you planning on wearing it with heels or flats?

Theninjawhinger · 22/04/2019 19:41

You look lovely!

Agree however that you could get another dress with a v neck or scoop neck as your boobs are fabulous and would suit that shape more :)

Aimily · 22/04/2019 19:41

It's a nice cut and the shape and colours suit you. But I'm biased against animal print so don't like it for that reason.
Apart from the print its lovely and looks nice on you.

I like it too.

MikeUniformMike · 22/04/2019 19:42

Dress is nice enough but you don't like it.
Return it and get something you like.

CoffeeConnoisseur · 22/04/2019 19:42

Looks ok from the front, the side view is very unflattering, the way it hangs from the bust to the waist is not good, it looks like it needs a nice wide belt or something.
