What do you think of this dress?

I was thinking of styling with these shoes :

Too old lady?

Great shoes- dress is EXACTLY like a nun as pp said

DrWankincense · 31/08/2021 22:18

It's like prison garb.
And the shoes are hideous.

Sorry.

Warmduscher · 31/08/2021 22:19

I love them both.

I wish I could wear a dress like that but I’m 60 and have to cover my knees so as not to frighten the horses Grin

Iamthewombat · 31/08/2021 22:21

@GoodnightGrandma

No. The dress looks like something a nun would wear, it reminds me of what Maria wore in the convent in Sound of Music.
Hahaha I too took one look at the dress and thought, ‘fraulein Maria!’
ActonSquirrel · 31/08/2021 22:21

I really don't understand Toast sometimes. It looks like either something that would be worn in a factory, or a Martha's dress from the handmaids tale albeit shorter.

It's drab and shapeless. Sorry.

Alwayswonderedwhy · 31/08/2021 22:21

Absolutely love the dress and it would look great with those shoes. I'd love to be tall enough to wear Toast dresses but they just make me look frumpy.

Hadenoughofthisbullshit · 31/08/2021 22:23

The dress says ‘micro’ does that mean thigh length? If so I think it would work and would look nice with the shoes.

But then I am a bit of a boring art school type Grin

MargaretMorris · 31/08/2021 22:25

Don't like the dress tbh. But can't help thinking it could look ok with some light or cream coloured wedges on a summer's day.

OneAugustNight · 31/08/2021 22:26

I think it could look great on some people but definitely not me.

Immaculatemisconception · 31/08/2021 22:27

That dress is hideous. The shoes okay.

idontlikealdi · 31/08/2021 22:29

It looks like an Amish dress just with buttons. If that's what you aspiring to, go for it.

SocksAndTheCity · 31/08/2021 22:29

Well I've just ordered the dress (in XS and S, since I don't own anything from there and the reviews all say it's big), so thank you OP!

I don't like the shoes and assuming it fits I will wear it with a cardigan, tights and my DMs plus a T-shirt under and a beret if it's cold Smile

LalalalalalaLand123 · 31/08/2021 22:31

Sorry, not for me! But they might suit you if you like them!

SionnachRua · 31/08/2021 22:38

The dress is a bit Olivia Twist, isn't it? Child-ailing-of-consumption-in-a-workhouse chic. The shoes are better but not to my taste.

Tooembarrassingtomention · 31/08/2021 22:43

Can’t see the shoes on the link
The dress is very USA nun

Tooembarrassingtomention · 31/08/2021 22:46

shoes are theatre sister

OneFootintheRave · 31/08/2021 22:49

@Boatonthehorizon

Was going to say pollyanna in prison. But pp above said anne of green gables which is more spot on.
Pollyanna in prison. Crying GrinGrinGrin
frogswimming · 31/08/2021 22:53

Frumpy. Dull pattern and shapeless. I like the shoes but I'm not sure what they'd go with.

Fetchthevet · 31/08/2021 22:54

I find both items hideous. Sorry!

ActonSquirrel · 31/08/2021 23:02

£200 for those 2 items together too!

M0rT · 31/08/2021 23:02

I love the shoes....but my favourite pair of shoes in college were similar and I was called "Sister" as a result Grin

blueshoes · 31/08/2021 23:04

No to both and especially together.

blueshoes · 31/08/2021 23:07

Quite apart from aesthetics, those shoes look like clogs. Why would you wear something so heavy on your feet. It will be like lifting weights whilst walking. Not very comfortable.

feliciabirthgiver · 31/08/2021 23:30

Definitely like something they would wear in the black and white start of Wizard of Oz!

feliciabirthgiver · 31/08/2021 23:31

Ps the shoes are fab!
