I need an awards ceremony to wear it to.

Triumphantly.

@grey12

I'll accompany you in this Dior Wink
Omg the bugs are frightening!
SirSamVimesCityWatch · 11/03/2022 16:35

Oooh, @GiveMyHeadPeaceffs, you will look fabulous!!

DomesticatedZombie · 11/03/2022 16:35

@valleyofadventure

This would make my shortlist
That is beautiful. Where's it from?
GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 11/03/2022 16:43

Why thank you @SirSamVimesCityWatch yellow is most definitely not my colour but in my fantasy I will look amazing Grin

PurpleDaisies · 11/03/2022 16:43

It would be Vivienne Westwood for me. Too hard to choose but this one’s old now so maybe I would find it in a car boot sale.

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

This made me laugh so much.
The dress is not to my taste.

grey12 · 11/03/2022 17:19

@Rosehugger lovely dress but first thing I saw was Elsa 😂 but then again I have 2 "elsas" in my house right at this moment.....

sqirrelfriends · 11/03/2022 17:27

The model looks like she's in danger of exposing her nipples. I'm also not a fan of a spaghetti strap.

Cleanbedlinen12 · 11/03/2022 17:39

Gosh, if I was wearing that I’d look a bit happier..and pull me socks up!

"£10,500, it's not even leather"

ValkyrieVik · 11/03/2022 17:46

I kinda like it OP.

Personally I'd go full on Bjork at the Oscars:

TottersBlankly · 11/03/2022 17:46

Grin AmysBeehive, you have no idea how enticing the words ‘Embroidered silk and wool’ are to me!

JanisMoplin · 11/03/2022 17:47

Sorry OP, I don't like that dress, though the model makes it look worse and you would probably look better! I like colour, and I think few people have looked better at the Oscars than Viola Davis in this fierce red dress.

That dress is vile, and for 10k?!
Any celebs wearing that to an awards ceremony would be put straight into the worst dressed category Blush

@AmysBeehive

"£10,500, it's not even leather"
love that film
SweetPotatoDumpling · 11/03/2022 18:05

Honestly? I think it's awful...sorry OP 🤷‍♀️

TottersBlankly · 11/03/2022 18:08

There’s no need to be sorry! I’m not asking other people to like my choice.

What would you choose?

Gorgeous, isn’t it. It’s by Minju Kim; she won the Next in Fashion show (and it was obvious from the beginning she would, her work was always so interesting and beautiful, and polished).

Here’s an article about her:

I watched that and I was so glad she won

Loved her designs, and her

valleyofadventure · 11/03/2022 18:48

Me too, she was brilliant!

Howmanysleepsnow · 11/03/2022 18:51

@rbe78 I was thinking -hoping- there was some sort of champagne coloured slip under the top part maybe…. If not, I love @PurpleDaisies choice if I can find it ina car boot first!

SameToo · 11/03/2022 18:59

@MrsRobinsonsHandprints I was trying to think how to describe it. You are Bob on 😂

@TottersBlankly I’d save yourself the work.

sansucre · 11/03/2022 20:51

@Redcrayons

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:

www.oscardelarenta.com/shop/p/crushed-flower-silk-dress-21753

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.

It is rare that I like any of the clothing posted on this board, but this is wonderful and very much my colour!
sansucre · 11/03/2022 20:53

I love the dress in the OP too. I think the model is aiming for insouciance rather than misery, although to be fair, it’s a very fine line!

GettingStuffed · 11/03/2022 21:16

This would be my choice www.wolfandbadger.com/uk/rebel-ecru-white-dress/
