Oh my! If ever a dress could make me work harder …

😍

I need an awards ceremony to wear it to.

Triumphantly.

It’s a beautiful dress and a phenomenal price! Lovely colours though. How would you accessorise it?

What awards would you wear a ten grand dress to? The Oscars?!

I'll accompany you in this Dior

Hmm I think it's not very nice and certainly not for £10k.... And what the hell have they paired it with on the model?! Saggy black knee highs?

Absolutely nothing, SailingNotSurfing. I think I’d feel entitled to arrive bare foot in that.

That diagonal strap is gorgeous grey12.

Maybe, AdrianCanChaseMe… So I’m curious to know what everyone else would wear.

Hope I am actually in Style and Beauty, not AIBU?

Fuck me, it looks like someone kissed a frog and they have been paused midway through transformation.

What would you wear, MrsRobinsonsHandprints?

Indulge me …

I'm not a fan of this anyway but my god the prices 😱😱😱😱

And does anyone else think they've not modelled it well on that model??

Grey if I saw someone wearing that I'd be getting out the insecticide and fly swat

Thought the dress looked lovely until I saw it on the model!

Totters I wasn't meaning to be rude but wow, 10k you've made it to the ceremony and that's The Dress.

My choice would be more ridiculous, I would channel those toilet roll covering dolls and go full on Bo Peep.

The model looks very sad in that dress, don’t know if it’s the dress or the socks/shoes combo that’s upsetting her!

Hmm, not my thing I'm afraid - not convinced that 90s square necked shift style suits many people. The model looks dreadful (and very sullen!), but maybe it would look better in real life!

At this imaginary awards ceremony, I will be wearing one of the following:
Retrofete Definitely with a slip underneath!

Safiyaa Love all things red!

Elie Saab Much prefer a bit of 80s retro to the current 90s nostalgia!

Christ I hadn't even noticed the saggy pop socks 😂 oh dear

That dress looks like it needs to be retailored entirely!

The Safiyya dress is just beautiful

@MrsRobinsonsHandprints brilliant 🤣

For £10k I'd want my dress to have a much more flattering top than that. It even looks terrible on the model!

The previously mentioned Dior is beautiful, but I couldn't cope with the bugs!

But it’s my fantasy dress, INeedNewShoes! I don’t care whether it flatters the model or not, or whether other people don’t think it would suit them.

I think it would look fantastic on me. Which was a cheery thought in the midst of all the gloom we woke up to this morning.

I love that dress @TottersBlankly and like you I would not have any accessories. Love yours, too @grey12

Happy to nominate either of you for any award you like!

As long as you don't wear it with the Nora Batty pop socks, you do you, OP!

Crikey. I’d buy a silk dress and a whole load of crystals. It would take an age to sew them on of course, which partly explains the eye wateringly high price tag.

As for the dress, not my colour, the straps are way too long and I would have wanted them to manage to finish off the hem for that price.

Nora Batty may have approved of the socks. The shoes would have been a challenge.

I’m obviously not of the demographic. I don’t even like the crystal detail.

Pretty fabric and cut. 'Day and night'? PPs have mentioned the socks. Not sure whether the bottom hem could be left or whether scissors might be unavoidable though presumably that would ruin the aesthetic and resale price.

Snap.

Does everything, which we think of as bad taste eventually work it’s way into being fashionable?!
