Weirdly attracted to this as loungewear ..

Would make a change from oversized pj bottoms that sag on my arse and jersey mens long-sleeved tees.

I would pass on the socks as don't like stripes much but the soft flow of this delights me.

It is Gudrun Sjoden, and im not much of a fan of their look in general, but this really caught my eye. It's a bit house on the prairie thanks to the petticoat layer but could swap that for something else...

So, anyone think this might make a nice variation on regular night/loungewear, or am I just really, really sick of trouser-y things?

Um, interesting, not sure! Helpful I know.

Pheasantlysurprised · 14/10/2021 15:17

Im conflicted, but curiously drawn to it.

I think I am really fed up with PJ's and being an artist who wfh I practically live in oversized pj's. I have with got to struggle getting the right waist and rise and then also worry about leg length, and the quality of pj's is going way downhill, recently.

A long sleeved jersey gown or frock seems like an interesting variation, with maybe leggings or soft tights for indoors. I would also like a huge floppy but chic kimono gown too.

Do both layers come with the dress? Looks great 👍

Pheasantlysurprised · 14/10/2021 15:18

It's giving me Bev Keen vibes to be honest ... Grin

Um... I think it's utterly hideous. 😂

BlackAlys · 14/10/2021 15:20

Thanks love it! Especially the socks 💜

Reminds me of something Frankie would wear on Grace and Frankie

Pheasantlysurprised · 14/10/2021 15:26

not heard of bev keen?

I thought it would produce mixed responses, but surely someone else must be tired of bloody PJ bottoms and a tee? I ought to experiment a bit but not sure I can get with Gudrun!

It looks like a rag :-/

Coniferhedge · 14/10/2021 15:50

I think it’s nice - even the socks. Has a real cosy, hygge feel to it.

Snoken · 14/10/2021 15:51

Gudrun is not my style at all normally as her clothes are usually too colourful for my bland taste, but this I love! It would look good with just the top layer and the tights and socks too.

All together now....
"The sun'll come out....tomorrow....bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there'll be sun"
or maybe
"It's the hard knock life for us,
It's the hard knock life for us,
'Stead of treated
we get tricked....."

You can guess where I think that outfit belongs....on the stage....

If no one's ever going to see you in it, I think its fine. However if people will see you in it, you've more to worry about than those striped socks!

ToastandJamandTea · 14/10/2021 16:01

It reminds me of the kind of thing Mary from Gogglebox wears. Looks super comfy though!

Purplecatshopaholic · 14/10/2021 16:03

Love this - would totally wear it

entrytohr · 14/10/2021 16:04

It looks like it belongs in Annie 🙈

I thought it was from Toast 😂

madisonbridges · 14/10/2021 16:14

It should be toast.

GreenLunchBox · 14/10/2021 16:15

I like it. Looks super-comfy. Would wear it for lounging

Legomania · 14/10/2021 16:15

It's a bit 'scullery maid chic' for me

sqirrelfriends · 14/10/2021 16:16

Very homestead wife. I like it.
