I'm 37 and I want it! Am I having some sort of episode?
I'm slim with decent legs but.... I dont know.

just the photo of it made me feel itchy.
it looks flammable.

StarlightLady · 10/03/2021 07:31

Not for me, I’m afraid.

LunaNorth · 10/03/2021 07:36

I think it could look fine, if you accessorised it with your house. With the curtains drawn and the lights off.

ODFOx · 10/03/2021 07:54

I like it, and now I have Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves as an ear worm.

Very Dallas

Bluntness100 · 10/03/2021 08:10

I’m guessing this is a joke thread? No under 25 would wear that. And not many over either. 😂

MrsFeatherDuster · 10/03/2021 09:17

My first thought was that it is not something that I would wear but it is strangely growing on me. I think we all need a little more fun and colour in our lives.
I would go for the Spanish flamenco look with this. Flesh coloured fishnets, black strappy heels and a flower in your hair. Go for it and enjoy yourself.

MoltonSilver · 10/03/2021 09:22

I'm really not sure what demographic dresses like that but I don't think it's the under 25's.

ChequerBoard · 10/03/2021 11:00

Is it from the Ann Summers catalogue? Looks like it should be strictly boudoir attire.

Although why cheap tacky black and red nylon is considered 'sexy' I have no idea.

Frogartist · 10/03/2021 12:39

So it's Spanish (but needs castanets and fish net tights), it's also gypsy (worn by a lady who dances while men throw money at her) Dallas and looks like it's from the Ann Summers catalogue Hmm

JimmyJabs · 10/03/2021 12:49

I mean, this is the Style and Beauty board and the OP did ask. I don't see how offering a negative opinion about a garment is "mean". It's not as if anyone has slagged off the OP herself!

BlipBlopYourNipNop · 10/03/2021 13:22

@LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow

do the castanets come with or will you have to order those separately??
That made me snort like a wee piggy. So sorry OP I'm not keen. I actually think it looks fun and if I had good legs I'd be all over it too. I wouldnt bat an eyelid at any age wearing it, but there must be a much nicer quality one out there? I'd be worried about a stray spark sending me up like a bonfire!
Janegrey333 · 10/03/2021 13:25

It’s dreadful. No young person with self respect would wear it, either. So no!!!

MummytoCSJH · 10/03/2021 13:25

Well I personally love it! I might buy it myself if OP would mind saying where it's from, don't think you've got much competition apart from meGrin (understand if you don't want to)

Hailtomyteeth · 10/03/2021 13:34

I love it, too. Anyone with the figure should wear and enjoy.

murbblurb · 10/03/2021 13:37

No age limit. you just need to be able to cope with people pissing themselves laughing!!

AMMCIAC · 10/03/2021 13:37

@burritofan

I think it’s for streetwalkers only, sorry
Agreed. Doesn't matter what age you are.
YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 10/03/2021 13:52

If I were so inclined, I imagine it’s the kind of dress one would wear to arrive at a Swingers party.

Frogartist · 10/03/2021 14:01

Why is the castanets comment ok? Is it ok to laugh at flamenco dancers? (I assume that's what you are referring to)

MrsFeatherDuster · 10/03/2021 14:33

I mentioned flamenco dancers in my message which certainly was not having a go as I think they look fantastic. I also mentioned nude fishnets as that is what many dancers wear and I feel would compliment the dress/look. Once again not having a go at the OP. Have fun wearing it OP.

SomeRandomerOnBumsnet · 10/03/2021 15:06

Utterly hideous.

DanceWithYourBalloon · 10/03/2021 15:09

Life is short. Wear the dress!

THisbackwithavengeance · 10/03/2021 16:24

I'd look like a Viz character in it myself but but if you've got the figure and the legs then go for it, definitely.

Snowball70 · 10/03/2021 16:51

Im shocked at a lot of these comments 🤔

PickAChew · 10/03/2021 16:54

It's something you'd see on women of any age, sitting near a puddle of puke in the Bigg Market.
