Is my new dress really that bad?

[YellowEllis]

I've been eyeing this dress up for ages but it was £50 so never purchased, I bagged it in the sale yesterday for £22. I love it, I've got black heeled sock boots that can dress it up a little, black ankle boots (optional tights) for casual wear. Can wear it with, without a belt. With or without a denim jacket. Might even get away with trainers. It seemed really versatile. I'm mid twenties and a size 8 if that matters.

Anyway my dickhead husband hates it and has ruined it for me. Says it looks like it belongs to a grandad. I feel a bit sad because of how long I've wanted it.

Opinions?

@YellowEllis I love it! I’m in my 20s would defo wear it with a belt too

Horrendous.

I like it. I also like the boots you've bought I might go have a look myself I'm 21- and I agree I think it can go with different styled shoes, and a belt or not I think it would still look nice!

I like it. If you've got good enough pins that will be beautiful. There's something boho, chic, not trying to hard, but sexy about it. Sometimes men don't understand clothes that aren't fitted

Agree with this completely! Surprised at so many negative comments, but each to their own,:)[/quote]
I agree as well.
My teen dds would love it too

I love it (I'm 57). I guess it's a love it or hate it thing. I like a laid-back look, no bodycon dresses, heels or pencil skirts for me.

I think it's great for your age and size. Please don't let your husband ruin it for you. You wear what makes you feel great.

I love it!

I like it, very French IMO.

If you love it, wear it OP. Unless your husband is thinking of wearing it too, he doesn't need to like it.

I'm in my 20s and I love the dress. If I saw you wearing it, I'd definitely think you were stylish.

I like it

It looks like you can't afford a shirt. Or trousers.

Moment of truth!

Sorry - it's even worse on.

Looks better on you than it did the model!

Sorry - it's even worse on.

Brilliant and here was me feeling good cause DH actually really likes it on, he hated it online.

Definitely a casual dress with tights and boots, didn't work with heels or sock boots. I'm undecided. Everything else I bought is being returned, it was all hideous.

I hated it on the model, but love it on you :)

It reminds me of a jester sorry.

Needs a good iron, and a properly fitting belt as this one doesn't fit my waist properly, one without studs. But I think I quite like it!

It's nice on you but maybe a bit too short

I think it's hideous, sorry!

I really like it but more importantly it looks good on you.

Looks fab!

I could never wear it but you look great.

Absolutely gorgeous!!
