Is this dress awful or not?

[Danielle2500]

Please help settle an argument.

I think it really suits your shape ,and I always think it's how you feel in it .. if you feel good in it it will show

I like the pattern.
It's impossible to tell whether it's flattering your figure without knowing what's underneath! Can you post a picture of you in a different outfit for comparison?

It's a bit of a Kirsty Alsop frock aka bin bag tied up in the middle but if you are not short and tubby like me I am sure you can carry it off in style

It's very "busy", sorry.

I feel like if it was in a simpler, less voluminous, shorter, shift style then the print could work.

But that's a whole lotta dress with a whole lotta print.

I would say it’s neither awful nor amazing.

If you like it wear it. I wouldn’t raise an eyebrow at it. (Not that my opinion actually matters!)

It’s not a bad dress but it does nothing for your shape because it absolutely swamps you. Too much fabric everywhere. I don't mind the print, would look a lot better if it was short

I like it. It's something I might wear.

But it depends on what you plan to wear it to. Day to day is fine. A wedding, no.

It's ok, but it does seem a bit too big for you. Also I think the colourway is a bit on the drab side.

What @AppleKatie said

It looks like a dressing gown to me.

It’s difficult to tell with your face obscured tbh and the angle isn’t great. Can you get a better angle (ie from lower down if someone takes it) and change your shoes? And can we have a pic with your hair and you just obscure your face?

I quite like the dress. Where’s it from?

It's pretty bad, sorry.

It's the sort of thing I'd wear a lot because it's easy to wear, whilst realising it's not particularly stylish, but I don't think it's awful.

I think it's too long, you're covered from head to toe, you need to show a bit of flesh, shorter,
a split, arms out or a v neck.

you need to show a bit of flesh, shorter, a split, arms out or a v neck.
Why?
Why does any woman need to show flesh at all?

I think the sleeves need to be less floaty and either the dress needs to be shorter or you need to wear heels to make it work.

Not keen.
You looked swamped and its a bit overwhelming.

I quite like it, definitely wouldn't shorten it.
Not really feeling the zip though.

It's awful.

I like it. I couldn't wear it though. Its the wrong shape for my figure but I like the pattern.

Lweji Women don't have to show flesh, but being covered from head to toe makes the human form look like one big box, very much like wearing a boiler suit, shapless. The dress is not flattering. The dress wouldn't be flattering on a man. The dress needs some shape, maybe if it was more fitted or something. It just doesn't look great as it is.

Not a fan, hate the sleeves.

Sleeves are weird and it's too long.

Also, as pp noted, we aren't seeing it properly because it's doubled by the mirror.

What is the neck supposed to be like? - oh god, is that a zip? Please say it isn't, and decide whether it's a relaxed open v or a demure high-buttoned.

I love it!

Yes, sorry it does nothing for you.
