Where do you go for date nights? It looks a bit much for a few drinks or a meal out.

Littlebb2020 · 19/01/2020 23:30

And would it suit my shape? Also what is my shape 😂 as don’t have a clue

@ArtieFufkinPolymerRecords that’s not my question just want to know what others think of the dress.

I love it. It will look amazing on you.

peachypetite · 19/01/2020 23:48

I think it is quite summery, would wear it on holiday

Haybo26 · 19/01/2020 23:50

Love it and yes you can carry it off

Ttcbabybennett · 19/01/2020 23:52

Gorgeous! Will look amazing with sexy heels OR summer wedges depending on the vibe you’re going for :)

Ttcbabybennett · 19/01/2020 23:53

Also I would classify your shape as stunning!!! You can so pull that off :) I’m so jealous of your figure and hair!

Freezingold · 19/01/2020 23:57

Honestly I’d go for a first date in something less sexy.

However if you are already in a relationship, it’s great!

Smellbellina · 19/01/2020 23:57

I’m not sold on the dress but think you have a lovely figure. Couldn’t call exactly what shape you are due to the angle.

steppemum · 19/01/2020 23:58

well, it is a lovely dress, but I think the point of Artie's comment was that when someone asks if you like this dress, part of the answer is what is the occasion you are going to be wearing it for, and if the dress fits the occasion.
It would look amazing at a do which was formal evening wear, and it would look somewhat ridiculous and try hard going out for a meal in your local high street.

Littlebb2020 · 20/01/2020 00:00

Really? 🥺 jealous of my figure? I’ve put on a lot of weight and it probably is just a flattering photo, I carry all my weight in my stomach and feel like I have no waist
Thankyou for replies I’m going to order it and yes I thought it’s a bit summery too! But I really just want to feel And look nice for my oh for date night, going through ivf at the moment and feeling bloated and frumpy so haven’t made an effort in a while.

It's a lovely dress but that doesn't mean it would suit every kind of date. It's quite formal and bodycon and summery. It would work for a dressed up summer party but not for a neighbourhood restaurant. I honestly think it might make your date uncomfortable for a first date as it's quite flashy. You need to be comfortable on a first date so you can both be yourselves.

Littlebb2020 · 20/01/2020 00:07

It’s not a first date been with my oh for years

hambledon · 20/01/2020 00:07

Ah sorry I didn't read carefully, it's not a first date. Will your partner be making an equal effort with his clothes otherwise you might look over dressed?

Tippexy · 20/01/2020 00:07

Of course it depends on where you would be going. Hmm

Littlebb2020 · 20/01/2020 00:08

Probably yes x

isittooearlyforgin · 20/01/2020 00:16

It’s lovely x

ILikeyourHairyHands · 20/01/2020 02:42

Well, it's a bit titty isn't it?

As is your shape.

Whaddya want?

ILikeyourHairyHands · 20/01/2020 02:45

The dress in ypur OP is cheap and nasty.

But your figure is super.

KundaliniRising · 20/01/2020 07:18

I am not so keen on the dress, it seems a bit too much Jessica Rabbit.

But if you like it go for it!

PickAChew · 20/01/2020 17:57

Looks like a nighty. Might be fine for a night on the Bigg Market if it wasn't so long it'd trail in all the puddles.

fastliving · 20/01/2020 18:09

It's not my taste or style, but I think your oh will love it and if you feel good in it and it's your taste and style then go for it!

Ellapaella · 20/01/2020 18:57

Nice dress but have you ordered from PLT before? In my experience the quality is a bit naff. If it's as nice in the flesh as it looks in the picture then I'm sure you will look lovely in it. You have a lovely figure.

NiteFlights · 20/01/2020 19:07

Well, your figure is very nice but I think the dress is going to be extremely revealing on you. If that’s what you want more power to you, but it might be a bit much depending on where you’re going etc. On a practical level I would worry about what bra to wear.

My opinion on the dress itself is that it’s a nice colour but I don’t like the shape. The asymmetric hem is way too exaggerated, it is too revealing to be stylish and I think it would be hard to be comfy (maybe even to sit down) in. I don’t think it’s summery particularly. That is just my opinion though.
