I cant imagine a less flattering dress style!

Ohhhh that looks so comfortable! It reminds me of kaftans / Arabic dress. I think it would look great on tall women who have a good figure and look terrible on anyone else.

I don’t think it’s the worst, the model looks ok in a boho, hippie kind of way. Not my thing but there’s a market for that kind of thing.

The hem looks like i did it with wunder web mind you.

You know the dress is awful when the model looks terrible in it

Supersimkin2 · 06/03/2022 15:13

Very flattering if you’re tanned and underweight.

Jesus wept. The whole Lucy Sparks collection is an absolute… well I’m not sure what to call it. I’m just astounded.

The words "potato bag" comes to mind.

Lovely colour, but reminds me of the first "dress" Flora handcrafted for Aurora in Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

@GizmosEveningBath

Oooo yes. Ideal for wearing at Christmas lunch. SmileSmile Lots of room for pudding in there

After reading your comment, I went back to have a look at the whole collection and let's just say that it looks like Lucy Sparks came into a job lot of parachute material/silks and decided she 'knew' how to improve that! Some of the swirly 70's vibe thing belongs, well, back in the 70's. As for this: goddiva.co.uk/products/lucy-sparks-2565-taupe I have no words. None at all. This one is like a big cotton tent: goddiva.co.uk/products/lucy-sparks-coral-long-sleeve-shirt-maxi-dress Jayzus would you cop a load of the sleeves on this one: goddiva.co.uk/products/lucy-sparks-coral-long-puffsleeve-round-neck-shirt-maxi Whoever said that black was a slimming colour never saw this dress on a model before: goddiva.co.uk/products/lucy-sparks-black-long-puff-sleeve-round-neck-shirt-dress

I have a few kaftan type garments, but they are all rather beautifully made and look quite nice. That looks like an old sheet that blew off the line and landed on a passer by.

@Akite

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.
It was in the suggestions for a wedding guest outfit!

It reminds me of when dc borrows one of my dresses to look "posh and fancy".
Just needs accesorising with a tiara and some massive shoes, and it will be perfect for the royal wedding of two soft toys.
Pair with a red lip, if you can get into mum's makeup without her noticing.

Yes. Yes, it is. No further submissions are required.

Imicola · 06/03/2022 17:08

It reminds me a bit of the dress my SIL wore to our wedding. It wasn't satin, i think cotton with a pattern, but the same shape. Not flattering, no.

londonmummy1966 · 06/03/2022 17:55

The hem is bad, the side seam is wonky and the "silky" fabric screams static....

I think it genuinely might actually be!

KhaleesiOfChaos · 06/03/2022 18:15
