Diane Von Fusternberg dress - hot or not?

[myohmywhatawonderfulday]

Before all this (you know what) I picked up a DVF wrap dress in a charity shop for £6. It is the classic style, 100% pure silk and a nice print.

I was surprised to see they sell for about £200 - 300 mark when I looked it up at home.

But, what I don't know is if they are still a classic to be worn or if they are a bit old fashioned?

What do you think?

Oooh I had that one from the DVF shop in Wimbledon village back in the day!! Gave it away post kids. If it's mine, it looks way better on you! Lovely.

You look stunning. Can’t believe it’s £6! I wan’t to know which charity shop now lol!

You look amazing in it but I don't like the print

Looks lovely, great find!

Gorgeous OP!

Er, it's amazing

Oh wow! You look fantastic. It's gorgeous.

Someone once told me that you tie the waist belt as you would a neck tie (hope this is making sense) then it sits flatter to the body.

Great , fits you like a glove.

Nice. I had to charity shop a DvF I bought online when I realised my knockers could not cope with this style - too complicated!

Great buy. Enjoy wearing it.

It looks great on you.

Having said that, wrap dresses in this style are really dated.

Great find! Congratulations OP. Enjoy wearing it - you look fab!

I like it and I like wrap dresses. They suit me too (I think) I dont think it looks dated.
One thing tho, I thought u said it was pink but it looks really dark? I need to check your op...

Looks like I made the pink thing up!

Thanks everyone - when I look at the website there are more modern and fresh ones. But I do like this one and your comments have encouraged me to wear it.

It would be so amazing if it was the one that gower4 donated! I would love that! Also thanks LizzieMacQueen that was useful advice because I didn't know at all.

Have lovely days everyone!

Great find - I don't agree that it's timeless, in fact I think it looks very much of its time. But it will come round again and again and besides, in a couple more years it'll qualify as vintage, and then you'll have a free pass to wear it anywhere and forever

They're so much nicer in silk too. I would have snapped it up.

Agree with flo it is of its time of course (most things are!) but that doesn’t matter - that’s what I mean when I say something is timeless.

Another that doesn't agree it is 'timeless' the shape and print are dated, it isn't currently in fashion. I think it's a valid point though that following fashion is not the only indicator of what looks good. It fits you well, looks very good on you OP and was a bargain at £6 (though only if you actually wear it!)

I've got a few DVF wrap dresses and a couple of shirt dresses. I LOVE them - I like the 70's style prints and the fact that they are silk so you don't get the static cling.

I get all mine on ebay and usually pay between £50-£100 for them - whenever I wear them to work I always get a lot of compliments.

My favourite are the ones with the collar. I like to wear a long necklace that sits under the collar.

I find they fit really well and I don't need to use a pin to hold them together or anything - I too tie them like a neck tie and I am very very careful to make sure the belt lies flat all around.

Can you tell I'm a fan!!!

Yes @LizzieMcQueen I always do waist ties like a neck tie so that they sit smooth and flat. It works well and easy to adjust.

Some people might suit a great big bow on the waist but not me.

The problem I had with mine was that it looked positively indecent on me. I couldn’t work out if it was because it was too big or too small or my knockers were just too high up for it! Do most people wear a vest underneath?
