*on you 🙄

asdfsadfasdf · 09/07/2021 22:08

Oof - it's the sandals !

Whogotdakeystomabeamer · 09/07/2021 22:12

Oh shucks, thanks all! Wasn't expecting a great response due to the reactions here... I agree that I don't think it's that flattering on the model for some reason.

StrongLegs · 09/07/2021 22:13

That's a powerful dress.

neveradullmoment99 · 09/07/2021 22:21

It looks fantastic on you and totally suits your colouring. You have a beautiful face.

@Maybeitsme5

I've had my eye on it since I spotted it in store a couple of weeks ago, it was reduced to £15 today so I snapped it up. I clearly have no fashion sense then Grin
Tbf I think if you just stood like a normal adult instead of the twee hold your skirt out because you're 5 pose, it would look nice. Not on me cos I'm fat and it would drape from my boobs like a maternity frock
Mylovelyhorsechestnut · 09/07/2021 23:51

Truly the worst dress I've ever seen.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 10/07/2021 00:01

I love it...but I'm a professional frump so not sure my judgement is worth anything!

@Whogotdakeystomabeamer

Don't have any full length shots, but this is me in said dress! I like it... Blush
It looked dreadful on the model but looks lovely and completely different on you. The colours are really good on you.

If you were to wear it in your garden, you might well get covered in bees landing on you.

Wow, it looks beautiful on you, completely different to how it looks on the model
Bluntness100 · 10/07/2021 07:48

@Whogotdakeystomabeamer, you are really pretty but to be fair you can hardly see thr dress at all, it could be a top for any one can tell from that image.

IHaveBrilloHair · 10/07/2021 16:28

Agreed Bluntness
It's a lovely photo, but doesn't show the dress at all.

Iamthewombat · 10/07/2021 17:49

The frock is a bit Lindy Chamberlain. Especially when worn with trainers.

IHaveBrilloHair · 10/07/2021 18:26

Lindy Chamberlain the Dingo woman?
Anyway, still, if you like it, wear it, who cares what other people think, you'll never know anyway, it's highly unlikely you'll be approached by strangers with honest opinions.

Ddot · 10/07/2021 19:52

If you like it then you wear it. I'm sure you can make it work , the girl in the photo did. Get it on and rock that dress. I've bought stuff that others laughed at but I make them eat their words.

BajanB · 10/07/2021 19:58

Well it’s hard to tell what it looks like on from your pictures as there’s only a bit on show. But the colours really suit you and you are gorgeous. I’m scared of pattern as I’m very short but on someone with the confidence to wear colour and pattern I can see it working. Enjoy wearing it. I live in black, grey, camel and white so admire people who brighten things up .

Marriedatfirstyear · 11/07/2021 10:08

Frumpylina.

How do you know that, you can see a small part of the top 😂
Ddot · 11/07/2021 15:38

Because she looks happy so who cares what anyone else thinks

Oh absolutely, I certainly wasn't fishing for compliments, it's the only pictures I have.
Even still, I do think the colouring changes from person to person - I don't think the shades of the dress are as flattering on the model, I think they suit my undertones more, maybe? Maybe not! But as PP says, who gives a shit?
I'm planning to wear it today, will get a full body shot 😉
