Are there any redeeming features to this dress?

Sometimes I see things that are so weird I really start to wonder if it’s them or me. Am I missing something here? John Lewis is trying to pass this off as “effortless summer style” for a mere £179.

It’s not or never will be in my wardrobe. That’s the only redeeming feature.

Elouera · 06/06/2020 09:53

Hmm, well. You could wear it to a Cruella Deville dress up night? Confused

monkeyonthetable · 06/06/2020 09:54

No.

ExpletiveDelighted · 06/06/2020 09:54

It could be quite useful for minimising sun exposure.

dudsville · 06/06/2020 09:55

It looks comortable, or rather it looks like it feels comfortable. It's not comfortable on the eye.

JemIsMyNameNooneElseIsTheSame · 06/06/2020 09:56

God, that's hideous.

Jillyhilly · 06/06/2020 09:57

Great responses. You lot are very witty!

And the way it’s paired with those shoes... it’s like the stylist just gave up.

Please tell us there's a review section on the website 😂

Jillyhilly · 06/06/2020 10:02

Can’t see any reviews BUT! Good news! It also comes in navy!

Stylist definitely gave up with the shoes, by the way her foots hanging off the back they're at least a size small and look awful.

It looks kind of like they were making a practice dress, ran out of the small spot fabric so used a different one and then thought 'by Jove' that could work.

It doesn't work.

I really like it. Angelica Bell wore it on The One Show a couple of weeks ago with white trainers and it looked lovely.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 06/06/2020 10:11

Actually in navy it isn’t as bad. Still wouldn’t, but not so CDeV.

leolion1 · 06/06/2020 10:27

I can't figure out which is more hideous, the dress or the heels on those shoes Shock

Mysterian · 06/06/2020 10:35

Nope. It just looks wrong. Like it's broken.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 06/06/2020 11:18

It could aid social distancing

grassyhillocks · 06/06/2020 11:23

Oh my, that's quite a dress Grin

Terralee · 06/06/2020 12:19

Eek

Xylophonics · 06/06/2020 12:27

I was going to say the shoes are nice but no,
even the shoes are horrible.

pilates · 06/06/2020 12:28

Yuk

Aposterhasnoname · 06/06/2020 12:30

When even the model can’t make it look good you know there’s a problem.

Phoebesgift · 06/06/2020 12:34

Nope.

ChequerBoard · 06/06/2020 13:23

Could be handy for a 101 Dalmatians themed fancy dress party? Otherwise, it's a definite no from me!

Bioprepper · 06/06/2020 13:33

looks like she ripped a bit so used a piece of her old dress in similar colours to patch it up lol

wherethetamethingsare · 06/06/2020 13:35

I quite like it Blush

Alsohuman · 06/06/2020 14:27

We’re obviously very strange @wheretgetamethingsare!
