Why does MN keep pushing this ugly dress?

[Atalantea]

I've had loads of emails with 'mumsnetters are loving this dress' - seriously?? its fugly!!

The word that comes to mind is gormless!

Turn off all comms from MN - why wouldn't you?

I have a pricier sleeveless version and it looks fab on. I am taller than average.

Probably look great if your 6' and a size 10 (actually even then I think it would look shit)

I lived in a dress similar to this last summer, I am in a hot country and it was very unrestrictive. Then I saw a photo of myself.... oh dear! At least we were in lockdown.

Nearly all Amazon cheapies are modelled by young women in towering heels.

I don't know anyone under 30/35 who would go anywhere in sky high strappy heels any more!

Yuck 😂

Even the model looks like she's thinking 'ok can you get it off me now please...'

It reminds me of those horrible harem style strappy jumpsuits from eBay that were all the rage on here a few years ago. There was a big appreciation thread for them and I used to read it for a laugh, because they were so ugly

(Sorry to anyone who still wears theirs)

I like everything about the original dress except the off-the-shoulder thing. The two grey ones, not so much. There can't be many people who suit a drop waist like that and especially the saggy bit in just the right place to look like a droopy beer belly. But cocoon/tulip dresses are very forgiving - I haven't got much waist and I think I actually look more shapely in them, not less.

I'm another one who likes the cocoon/tulip shape and have several. I find them comfortable and easy to throw on, particularly whilst working from home.

However, I don't like the bardot neckline on the original photo. It seems a bit like overkill. I wouldn't describe it as vile though - that seems a bit extreme to me.

Yes, it's horrible- very dated- looks like what All Saints were selling 10 years ago!
