What do you think of this dress?

I was thinking of styling with these shoes :

Too old lady?

Very Anne of green gables.

Cant say I like the dress. The shoes are kinda cute though.

Noshowwithoutpunch · 31/08/2021 21:29

Grin Fabulous

Touloser · 31/08/2021 21:31

Neither are my taste, particularly not together.

The dress is dull, and I cannot imagine it doing anyone any favours. The shoes are... art schooly? I expect the wearer to smell of weed, and try to emphasise how individual they are, despite being dull as dishwater.

ThisIsNotAGloveSong · 31/08/2021 21:32

I can confirm that I have never smoked weed Grin

Love it!

PersonaNonGarter · 31/08/2021 21:34

They are both good choices. Love the shoes.

GoodnightGrandma · 31/08/2021 21:34

No. The dress looks like something a nun would wear, it reminds me of what Maria wore in the convent in Sound of Music.

MissyB1 · 31/08/2021 21:35

I like both, wouldn’t suit me but I like them.

flossletsfloss · 31/08/2021 21:39

Hate them both. Sorry.

AnyFucker · 31/08/2021 21:39

Hate the dress, love the shoes

RosesAndHellebores · 31/08/2021 21:41

Well if it got me cred with Captain Von Trapp @GoodnightGrandma I think I could force myself to wear it Grin

lannistunut · 31/08/2021 21:44

I like the dress but not the shoes.

Think you need to go with your own choice as the thread is varied in opinion!

freelions · 31/08/2021 21:44

Not keen on the dress and £125 seems a lot for what is essentially an adult size school summer dress

The shoes are ok

GoodnightGrandma · 31/08/2021 21:45

@RosesAndHellebores

Well if it got me cred with Captain Von Trapp *@GoodnightGrandma* I think I could force myself to wear it Grin
He was rather scrumptious. And great with his lips on that whistle 😉🤣🤣🤣
CoastalMum101 · 31/08/2021 21:47

I immediately thought of Maria in Sound of Music too. Personally I think that outfit would look awful on Kate Moss but it’s very Instagram mum.

MaMelon · 31/08/2021 21:48

No - the dress is very Maria in the Sound of Music (before her head was turned by the handsome Captain) and the shoes are very sensible.

Boatonthehorizon · 31/08/2021 21:59

Was going to say pollyanna in prison. But pp above said anne of green gables which is more spot on.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/08/2021 22:08

No to both. The dress is dull and drab and the shoes 'might' be better in a different colour but in off-white are pretty horrible imo. Sorry!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/08/2021 22:09

And no, it's not 'too old lady' because old ladies don't necessarily want to dress like nuns as soon as they hit 50 or whatever age MN decrees 'old lady' to be.

MiddlesexGirl · 31/08/2021 22:09

More like school uniform pinafore, sorry.

Bluntness100 · 31/08/2021 22:14

That’s the dress from a handmaids tale, not usually something to aspire to,l😃

Classica · 31/08/2021 22:15

I could see a theatre director in that dress and those shoes.

MaMelon · 31/08/2021 22:16

OP, be honest - if that dress was in Primark as opposed to Toast would you look twice at it? Grin

WhoNeedsaManOfTheWorld · 31/08/2021 22:17

I like both but I hate not seeing the shoes with feet in them. I wish they would put the clothes and shoes on women when they advertise

Wavypurple · 31/08/2021 22:17

Love the shoes
