Should I buy this dress

[WhoNeedsaManOfTheWorld]

I've been looking at this all summer and almost bought it several times. I've seen in on a person and it looked nice
I don't know what is holding me back. End of summer perhaps, a bit skint and it's a throw on, casual dress
Wish it was £40

Honestly I don’t think coral works well for many people. It’s nicer in the deep blue or the green. I like a smocky pockety dress as well but this one would drown me.

I have something similar from Seasalt…I like it for schleppy Sundays. It’s not available any more. I think you’d like it.

No, I don’t like the colour, the shape (or lack of) and it looks pretty crumpled even in the picture, not keen at all

Hmm … Having seen more pictures - I definitely don’t like it. (It’s not my style anyway, but I was trying to see it through your eyes, OP.) It’s drab.

You could have a look at kowtow for shapeless clothes with a cooler vibe … Still a bit left in the sale.

Damn those dresses on Kowtow are UGLY. I know ugly is in, but I’m not buying it.

Coral is an awkward colour…it’s not pink, it’s not orange…it’s blorange.

No, no, it is a sack. I get that you like sack-style dresses but there is a world of difference between that and an actual sack.

You mean you don't want to look like an extra from the handmaidens tale?

They had one actually pretty frock at the beginning of Summer, pictish. I bought it. It’s sold out; hence no photo on the site.

I like something about their clothes, but haven’t yet been convinced enough to buy anything else.

Though I should say the fabric of my dress - cotton poplin, not jersey, is outstanding.

No.
I’m sure the model has a gorgeous figure under there but it makes her look like a frumpy lump.
I like the colour & I like pockets but I do not like that dress. Sorry.

If you like that style, there are loads of cheap options like this one: www.redwholesale.co.uk/italian-front-pockets-quirky-style-linen-lagenlook-sponge-dress.html

With a bit of googling you might find something similar to the one you like.

I honestly don't know why anyone would look at that and say I really want it. It's shapeless and the colour is meh - still each to their own

Sorry I think it's horrible. It's just so shapeless would make most folk look bigger than they are and don't like the colour either.

Even those models on Kowtow look fucked off with what they are wearing

I think it would make me look like a big lumpen turnip.

I have a wool dress a bit like that from Seasalt. It is effortlessly comfortable.

Hmmm, it looks a little meh 😒

At £40 abs above it's a definite no. If it's under £15, buy it just for the comfort factor.

This one.

It’s a big no from me. A misshapen sack looks good on no one. Does look comfy though!

And not abs! 😑

This is the second post in as many days that I’ve seen on here by someone listing after something a Victorian orphan would wear. I’m probably hideously unfashionable but why not just save yourself some money and cut some holes in a potato sack if that’s the look you want?

I got something very similar (shape not colour) from Shien. It was about £12 last year. I wear it with skinnies & ankle boots in the autumn/winter.

I think you’d need to be quite straight (up and down, not sexually) to carry it off as intended.

If that’s you, then yes, it’s lovely.

Yeah that’s linen it’s going to crumple something shocking and you’ll look like you’re wearing a big coral sack that needs a good iron,

No.
