Seems too 'busy' to me, but if you like it, you should wear it.

EducatingArti · 22/09/2021 18:01

Not awful. Without seeing your face I don't know whether it suits your colouring though.

SirChenjins · 22/09/2021 18:02

Yes - sorry Sad

Maybe it would look better with different shoes?

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 22/09/2021 18:02

I quite like that, but I'm not sure about the sleeves. How do you feel about it?

CrumbsThatsQuick · 22/09/2021 18:03

Awful

And I love a patterned maxi dress.

I think because the patterns are in lines. Colous is nice.

AnyFucker · 22/09/2021 18:03

Not awful. It’s kinda wearing you, rather than you wearing it though, IYSWIM

SummerintheCity2021 · 22/09/2021 18:03

It’s ok. Agree with different shoes.

toolazytothinkofausername · 22/09/2021 18:03

The dress is very distracting.

millenialblush · 22/09/2021 18:04

Would look better with different makeup Grin

Janaih · 22/09/2021 18:06

I like it! The fact that you have it in the mirror in background is not doing it any favours though.

IglesiasPiggl · 22/09/2021 18:06

Not awful, but a bit meh. One of those dresses that in a shopful of similar ones looks nice but once it's home it looks less flattering.

At least take the sunglasses off… & I’m a fan of sunglasses 😂 (hence the username)

Like an optical illusion.

It would be better shortened.

MrsColon · 22/09/2021 18:07

I love it! You have a lovely shape, which is nicely shown by the nipped in waist.

Susannahmoody · 22/09/2021 18:07

It's also looks kinda uncomfortable, like it'd make you sweaty quickly

Pinkchocolate · 22/09/2021 18:08

I like it and it’s really flattering.

Ohsugarhoneyicetea · 22/09/2021 18:11

If you were handy with a sewing machine it would look better if it were smaller. Little cap sleeves and much shorter.

BlueberrySugar · 22/09/2021 18:12

The pattern is too much on the bottom half. It looks too busy.

Antinerak · 22/09/2021 18:19

I love the pattern and shape, but would take in the sleeves as those seem very boxy. It suits you in that photo

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/09/2021 18:21

I like it, apart from the sleeves. Hide them with a biker jacket?

Neonplant · 22/09/2021 18:21

I love it

Disfordarkchocolate · 22/09/2021 18:22

I like it.

EL8888 · 22/09/2021 18:22

I’m not a fan

Bluntness100 · 22/09/2021 18:24

It swamps the wearer, with the big sleeves and long length. It’s a no from me on that wearer.

Lasttimeneveragain · 22/09/2021 18:24

I love it.

It is however the sort of thing my husband would say is hideous.
