Is this dress awful or not?

[Danielle2500]

Please help settle an argument.

Don't like it at all op!

I have that dress and I've had lots of compliments while wearing it. I wear it zipped up to top tho and slightly bloused over.
It is possibly the most comfortable items of clothing I own too

Awful!

Sorry, but Awful.

Awful. Very loose, and no colour. I love black but I try to wear it at least tailored, or fitted.
If it's loose and floaty then I try to have some colour.

It doesn't show any of your good sides. What part of body do you love? Even if it's just beautiful ankles - accentuate on them (as in leather shoes + pastel/light jeans slightly turned up at the ankle + fake tan). Fake tan against light jeans looks nice and tanned, and draws attention to the ankles where jeans are slightly turned up.
Just an example, sorry if it's not to your taste

Domestic science teacher circa 1978. Awful.

It’s not flattering, would make anyone look dumpy. You can do better! Who is the argument with and which side are you on?

I love the pattern of the material but I don’t think the style is at all flattering. It’s the sort of dress I would love … until I tried it on. The sleeves are too full and it’s a bit of a sack - for anyone remotely curvy (and you have a beautiful hourglass figure) there should be much more definition between boobs-waist-hips, not just relying on a tie belt to pull the material in.

Not

Sorry, it doesn't look great.

Thanks everyone :)
The argument was between my sister and I, I said yay and she said nay.
