Ohhh it literally looks like a satin bed sheet! How strange!

GizmosEveningBath · 06/03/2022 11:40

It looks so comfy though Grin

DobbyTheHouseElk · 06/03/2022 11:40

It looks odd on the model. It looks like a nightdress. But it’s not expensive so maybe that’s why it looks so strange. It’s not hanging well.

Make it in fleece and I'll take 3 😂

It looks like a bedsheet!

Nailest · 06/03/2022 12:01

The answer to your question is yes. She’d look better in that beige sheet thing hanging up behind her Shock

Akite · 06/03/2022 12:01

God it looks comfy though! Do we have to wear flattering things all the time? I think this kind of thing definitely has a place.

Shepherd outfit for a nativity play. Just missing a tea towel headscarf.

FoldedCard · 06/03/2022 12:03

The hem looks really badly done.

amymel2016 · 06/03/2022 12:03

I’m assuming by flattering you mean thin?

EmmaH2022 · 06/03/2022 12:03

I love it but I'm fat so I like that I could be anything under there!

Also love the colour.

Fernandina · 06/03/2022 12:03

I've used better looking stuff than that to drape over the carpet when I'm painting.

stripeyflowers · 06/03/2022 12:11

It's bad enough but the awful hem makes it look especially cheap.

ChickenStripper · 06/03/2022 12:29

To be fair though it is reflective of the site it is on?

SquirrelFan · 06/03/2022 12:49

It looks like a costume - I'm imagining a whole group of people wearing them, portraying dead loved ones in heaven or perhaps members of a cult...

BottleOfSun · 06/03/2022 12:58

I’d wear it over a swimming costume on holiday?

JaninaDuszejko · 06/03/2022 13:01

I can think of plenty of things less flattering than a loose dress.

BadHairDayExpert · 06/03/2022 13:04

Demis Roussos/Homer in a muumuu
I am plus-size but that looks like a parachute
Dress wearing me not the other way round

Craftycorvid · 06/03/2022 13:10

Ooh, crikey! Yes, it’s a muumuu, and probably all right for lounging about at home but seriously odd-looking anywhere else. I’m no stranger to a challenging look but at 5’3” I’d look like I had suffered an unfortunate accident whilst changing a duvet cover.

PerseverancePays · 06/03/2022 13:37

For the price they could have at least used the right tension for the seams.
A bin bag would be just as flattering.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 06/03/2022 14:52

It would be worn either by an incredibly tall, impossibly slim and beautiful woman who would genuinely look amazing in a bin bag with just a few alterations to the waist area or somebody pregnant/of a size to be happy that they have bought something that says it goes up to a size 14.

endofthelinefinally · 06/03/2022 14:55

The sewing is dreadful!

ladygindiva · 06/03/2022 14:59

I have a fleece version of this from asda I wear over my pj's on cold evenings 😂

Mermaidwaves · 06/03/2022 15:00

I would like it in cotton! Grin I'm a massive egg on legs so feel this would cover up all my sins, I hate the sweaty fabric though.

SwissCheeseRentedChildren · 06/03/2022 15:03

It’s perfectly fine, but only if you’re Montserrat Caballe c1986.
