I'm slightly obsessed with orange at the moment and this caught my eye.

Profoundly unflattering material

PurpleDaisies · 28/09/2021 15:04

Where would you wear it? The colour is lovely but I’m not a fan of the material or style.

SirChenjins · 28/09/2021 15:06

Love the style, but not the colour or the fabric - it's very curtain-y imo.

Paq · 28/09/2021 15:16

So that's a "no" then Grin

SirChenjins · 28/09/2021 15:36

Ooh hello, also obsessed with orange over here.
I think you want this dress… www.cosstores.com/en_gbp/women/womenswear/dresses/product.long-crinkled-dress-orange.1002328001.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjJvM1_Kh8wIVh_93Ch1v3AEAEAQYAiABEgLX5_D_BwE

@Chocolatecoatedkettlebell (awesome name) I would look like a squash in that dress!

HarebrightCedarmoon · 28/09/2021 15:46

The one @Chocolatecoatedkettlebell posted is the nicest so far.

I like this one, OP www.oliverbonas.com/fashion/animal-print-orange-mini-shirt-dress-332077

Is this dress nice?
Ellarain · 28/09/2021 15:46

Style and colour I like but not the material.

Strangevipers · 28/09/2021 15:47

What about the 'Michelle Keegan
Wrap Top Linen Look Midi Dress - Orange' on the website 'very'

Coogee · 28/09/2021 15:49

I think you want this dress…

It looks like a sack with arm and head holes cut in it.

Standrewsschool · 28/09/2021 15:51

I like the Hobbs one the best, including the material.

The JL is okay.

The Cos one has an unflattering shape. It’s an orange sack (sorry).

Cascascascas · 28/09/2021 15:53

@Paq

Love it!

Squash 🤣🤣🤣

I love an orange dress. I have this and it is really flattering.

RumblyMumbly · 28/09/2021 15:55

No to first one, cut flattering but material like a tablecloth.

Depends on your figure but John Lewis or Cos would look nice if you are tall and willowy

Rockster7 · 28/09/2021 16:13

The John Lewis one is lovely, much nicer than the first one

SirChenjins · 28/09/2021 16:38

The first JL is OK.

That sack-like Cos dress would get slated if it was from M&S Grin

JaninesEyePatch · 28/09/2021 16:41

Not my style but it's not the worst link I've seen on here

JaninesEyePatch · 28/09/2021 16:43

JL one better.
Really like the cos one - although - would not look as nice on me as it does on the model.

Paq · 28/09/2021 17:04

Hmmm @Teddansononmyown I do like that but I'm hankering after an unadulterated orange.

What about this? www.phase-eight.com/product/karlen-chain-detail-dress-240700650.html#navAjax=true&is=false&q=orange&sz=60&start=0&isSecondPage=false&prefn1=clothingType&prefv1=Dresses&prefn2=color&prefv2=Orange&pid=240700650&pos=13

Love it but material and cut would be really unforgiving unless very slim I think.

Loving this with black ankle boots. Wish I had the budget for it!

Love that HoF dress - but the price! For a shirt dress! Shock

astronomydomine1 · 28/09/2021 19:32

Not sure about the material, love the colour.
