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

😍

I need an awards ceremony to wear it to.

Triumphantly.

I bet you would look gorgeous in that dress OP! You would be happy and smiling for a start which would make all the difference.

It looks dreadful on that sad model, she's really not selling it.

I love it too OP. It looks terrible on the model though. The straps are too long for her, the colour doesn’t suit her, or the shape, and the pushed down silk socks look Nora Batty esque rather than cool.

The pop socks…. I can’t get over those. I know I am now firmly middle aged, but I cannot believe that those are fashionable??

Lordy. Don’t know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn’t something so MOTB.

It wouldn't do for us all to like the same things but.. it's bloody awful and looks even worse when modelled

Not for me; the colour wouldn't do me any favours and my vest would show... The model doesn't look thrilled with it either.

At the start of 2020 I was looking forward to an actual Summer event - a college ball - and fondly imagined myself in (something like) this, which is pretty much my ideal image of a full length frock.

Never happened, obvs.

Not sure if this link works?

@AgnesNaismith

Glad you asked *@TottersBlankly* my brain tells me to be classy, unfortunately my heart is a little more flamboyant and so I’d go in this…on sale too!!

Oooh this one. Definitely.

@MrsRobinsonsHandprints

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

😄

That photo of the dress on the model reminded me of another thread where people are bemoaning the fact designers only create clothes for flat chested, stomachless models these days. Now here is a dress that would look much better on someone with a bit of a bust and is totally ruined by being shown on a flat chested model. What is the world coming to?

@FrankGrillosFloof

Lordy. Don’t know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn’t something so MOTB.

Oh - how did you know the context in my head was Emerald Fennell’s comment on her Oscar night Gucci gown? Something about a schoolteacher.

Well done!

It’s truly awful 😬😬😬😬

OP you'll look much better in it than the model does (bless her, her body is about 6 inches too long for it - probs why she looks so pissed off)
I wonder, ifwhen you buy it, will they finish hemming it for you?

Reminds me of broccoli

@OatcakeCravings

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!

She doesn't just look sad, she looks murderous!

The dress is a Queer-Eyed Kermit the Frog.

It looks awful to me lol.

I guess it's like those Irregular Choice shoes that everyone I know seems to go crazy for but I just think they look like a kid's craft class was let loose on granny shoes lol.

The model is living her best life in that dress! If you buy it, promise you’ll wear the saggy socks too.

Cat sick colour 😾🤮

Wow I love it!! It gives me Tiana vibes from Disney (not being sarcastic I genuinely love the colour)

If I can come to the Oscar’s I’ll wear this

I love fairy princess style stuff if you can’t guess!

Thank you for this thread @TottersBlankly it’s been a lovely distraction on my lunch break! So MN that you can’t even discuss fantasy award ceremony outfits without people peering over their pince-nez at you

It's a very beautiful dress but they've managed to make the model look awful in it. Quite an achievement.

Nora Batty wrinkly boots - such a strange choice.

(Do you think it can ever be washed/dry cleaned? How would one dare!)

I liked it until I saw it on that poor model. It's way too low and makes her look like she has no chest.

@Hadenoughofbloodycovid

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

I know, I was imagining it on someone like Sofia Veragara. I don't think it suits the model, it's much too big on her!
