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

😍

I need an awards ceremony to wear it to.

Triumphantly.

I so badly want to cross reference this thread with the ‘Why are all the shops so disappointing?’ thread …

😈

Sorry op but @GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal Alexander McQueen knocks it off the runway.
I think even if I was rich I'd struggle to fork out 10k on a dress!
You can't exactly keep wearing the same one either.

Why do models always look so miserable these days? Do stylists think I’m going to part with my fictional £10k if she looks like her granny just died.

Mine is this one:

Though I’ll need a slip under as it looks a bit see through. It’s not really my colour, but in my fantasy life it suits me perfectly.

@tkwal yeah i'd need some boob work first!

It is beautiful, but there are very few women who I have ever met who could carry it off and look stylish in it.

Some of you ABU …

You don’t honestly think huge stars nominated for international awards actually pay for their clothes?

And billionaires who might pay, probably own the brand or are contracted to buy every collection forever - so don’t exactly ‘pay’ in quite the way a salaried labourer would.

The price here is irrelevant - they don’t expect teachers and care home assistants to be saving up to buy these things.

@GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal that dress is absolutely beautiful.

I would look like a hedge in it.

@GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal

Oh my goodness - if I didn't want to commit the horrendous faux pas of turning up at the awards ceremony in the same frock as you, I would burn my other choices and have this instead!

It reminds me of that Victorian Arts and Crafts style of dress
e.g. collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O110232/coat-marshall-and-snelgrove/

I'm alright with having my drinks brought to me, while I stand around looking fabulous! grin

Theoretically, yes, but I a the thought of missing out on maximum canape scoffing potential. I suppose you could position yourself AT the canape table and maybe even hide some extra volauvents under the puddley skirt.

• I would definitely make a dress choice based on the amount of canapes I could stuff in the pockets/puff sleeves/cleavage for later, tho

Very little chance I'd be able to eat anything in that dress anyway... Would need to be wearing some pretty heavy-duty industrial strength underwear to get myself into it in the first place!

I'd worry about puddly dresses when I needed to nip to the toilet. Imagine trailing your lovely puddly dress through someone else's puddles

[quote undermilkjug]I rather like this one...

Wow

I think I could fit both a trayfull of canapes in this dress AND a large bottle of Bolly.

One poster asks how to accessorise it
Not with saggy socks like the model is wearing!

I'm glad you all approve of my choice. I actually am an actor, though currently nowhere near successful enough to get anywhere near any kind of award ceremony except maybe serving the drinks, so if you ever see anyone arrive at the BAFTAs in that dress, assume it's me.

And if it's not me, you'll see me moments later anyway, tackling them to the ground whilst shrieking "get my dress off, you bitch!" 😆

That dress isn’t my thing OP, possibly because it would look terrible on me.

Anything from Oyemwen or Kyndra Jade for me

oyemwen.com/

kyndrajade.com/

It’s stunning.

Even the model looks pissed off at the price.

Anyone else thinking "nightdress"? I know you couldn't wear it as a nightdress with all those rocks, but it's that shape. And it makes the model look as if her boobs are around her waist.

Nicole Kidman has worn some McQueen stunners over the years. I bet you could easily rugby tackle her.

Thanks to whoever posted a link to the Moda Operandi site by the way - I didn't know there was a site full of even more ridiculously expensive dresses than Net a Porter. Fantasy dress shopping has just gone up a gear!

Moda Operandi is amazing!

Or this by Stello. I couldn’t pull it off in a million years but in my dreams I have the figure for it.
