I ordered this Other Stories dress out of curiosity (and the Bank Holiday 50% discount) want to wear it to a do next week

I ordered this dress - it looks crazy but actually I'm kind of thinking of keeping it, I got it for £95 so not cheap.. www.stories.com/en_gbp/clothing/dresses/midi-dresses/product.organza-sleeve-silk-midi-dress-black.0958629001.html

I love a big sleeve , sad to see pp saying that's dated now.
The dress is stunning .
Are you reasonably tall ?
It would drown me.

My issue is surely you will only get one wear out of it as the dress is about the drama and impact it creates. Unless you have several completely independent friendship groups who like to attend formal functions it is a waste!

I love it! It has Villanelle vibes.

Your right Salsa it does!

Oh I like it. Would look fab with the right kind of styling and the confidence to wear it. Go for it. And maybe indulge us with a photo?

oh my word, thats awful

I love it!! It would look worse than awful on my shape though 😏

I like the idea behind the style, I think the problem with that dress is it looks cheap, plasticky and badly designed

It makes me think of that beautifully tall, slender, psychotic assassin in Killing Eve (whose name I can't remember)

All I can think is whoever designed that dress really really hates women.

@Worldgonecrazy I understand that sort of statement in relation to 5 inch stiletto heels or a pvc micro dress ... but that dress? Why?

Because it’s ugly and no woman on the planet is going to look good in it. It’s a joke to see how bad and ugly fashion can be at the expense of women,

It was designed by a woman: Rejina Pyo. She's into voluminous. rejinapyo.com/collections/dresses/products/gabi-dress-crepe-black

Sorry op I laughed when I saw it. It's not what you'd call flattering.

Looks like it needs ironing and will probably stay like that

Statement sleeves/cuffs are definitely still a thing. I think if you pulled the sleeves up so the elasticated (?) part is at the elbow and kind of tucked under, it’d look more balanced. But worn with confidence and better footwear, I like it!

I love it. It doesn’t need any jewellery, the sleeves do the talking. I can imagine that being my LBD for years.

I love it and think it will look really good if you cut off the sleeves too

I sent it back!

It reminds me of the Nights Watch in Game of Thrones! Fight with me brothers!
It’s cool though. It’d be fun to wear!
No idea how to style - it doesn’t need much styling though does it? I mean you don’t need much more than a pair of shoes with an outfit like that!!

That's a dress that needs to be styled with high heels. The sandals that the model is wearing don't go with it at all and that's what makes it look absolutely dreadful in the full length photos.

I sent it back!

Good! I’m definitely all for wear what you want but seriously, bin bags tied around your arms isn’t a good look on anyone. Those sleeves are not only utterly hideous but seriously impractical, they’ll end up scruffy!
