I don't suppose anybody wants this dress?

As above. Chickened out of it. Just isn't my cuppa tea but too lovely to chuck.

1forAll74 me too, I also love making dresses I am a bit bored of into skirts.

MsLeBlanc · 12/12/2021 16:36

OP I’ll have it please, that is if @MrsBerthaRochester hasn’t got it already.

Perfect length for me. Infact all my dresses are that length.

MorvaanReed · 12/12/2021 16:36

Stompy boots and Sherlock coat.

PearlclutchersInc · 12/12/2021 16:36

It looks great. Could you wear hooker heels with it (or is that not trendy, osrry I'm kind of old like that Blush)

Fritilleries · 12/12/2021 16:36

@1forAll74

I would shorten it a bit, and lower the neckline for evening wear.I am always cutting up and altering a potentially nice looking dress to suit my own style.
Something to ponder. If it was a scoop neck I would be happier and also shorter. Definitely not a stealth thingy. I bought it to wear to work (at school) but when I put it on I felt ridiculous.

Try some stompy boots on with it. It doesn’t quite look right in bare feet but you won’t be going out like that!

FazedNotPhased · 12/12/2021 16:41

It genuinely looks lovely on you. Keep it!

especially as the first request for it was so rude

sparklefarts · 12/12/2021 16:44

You're mental, that's perfect on you!

PaddingtonsHat · 12/12/2021 17:04

Thanks OP just bagged the last one on ASOS ~and maybe added some other bits too~

FreeBritnee · 12/12/2021 17:06

Love it.

WendyYourExcellency · 12/12/2021 17:08

You have a lovely figure and this dress is not hugely flattering, some additional fabric around the midriff, the fabric is heavy and it’s too long.

I agree it drowns you, and though of course you look lovely (as everyone else has said!) - anyone with a body like yours could pull off most outfits, but there are far more flattering fits available so you will rarely wear this making it a waste of money. Send it back or sell it on.

I agree. I'm sending it to someone.

I think you've got an amazing figure and you look lovely, but I don't think it does much for you, I'm sure there are far more fabulous dresses out there for you to wear. It just looks a bit 'boring' on you

MaryStuart · 12/12/2021 17:20

It really doesn’t drown you, and it’s not boring.
I think it looks fab on you.
I’d wear it with either flat black ankle boots, or hi-top trainers.

HereLiveIAmNotACat · 12/12/2021 17:25

You cannot give this away. The dress looks like it was made for you!!!

WhoppingBigBackside · 12/12/2021 17:42

You look stunning in it. It's flattering and you have a nice figure

JaneJeffer · 12/12/2021 18:10

So you're going to listen to the one poster who doesn't think it looks good on you? Ok then.

Trendytrousers · 12/12/2021 18:29

Would look great with brown boots. Also a brown cardi or brown wool tank top! In winter I live in boots and dresses like this!!

Receptionclass · 12/12/2021 18:49

I'm with you OP, you have an amazing figure but I think it swamps you. Would be better shorter. It's a difficult length.

Unavailableusername · 12/12/2021 18:50

Keep it! Alter it if you don't like the length.

User2638483 · 12/12/2021 18:53

Looks way better on you than the model!

User2638483 · 12/12/2021 18:54

And why can’t you return it for a refund?

hivemindneeded · 12/12/2021 19:07

It looks lovely and is a great length to wear with stompy boots.

Fritilleries · 12/12/2021 19:45

@User2638483

And why can’t you return it for a refund?
Cos I'm an eejit who exceeded the returns date. I appreciate all the positive comments, but I agree with the poster who says it's not the best thing for my shape. There is a lot of fabric around the hips and it doesn't feel quite right for me. But I do appreciate all the lovely comments.
