Is the colour of this dress tacky?

[josil]

I can't decide if it's heartily for summer or tacky as it's too bright?!

Thoughts please!!!

On the model with the short hair it looks awful. Somehow makes a slim person look massive and very uncomfortable (as with most model poses these days). On the other model sitting down with a basket it looks nice against her skin tone and styled for summer.

I like it as a concept but it's a limited body shape and skin tone that can pull it off. If you have that I'm very jealous.

The colour is fine, even the shape/style if that's your thing , but the price is ridiculous. You can find similar for a lot cheaper. Plus something that plasticky (no issues with that,I have plenty of plastic stuff) and clingy will show every sweat stain.

Same colour. Shorter,but cheaper and mostly cotton.

Or this?

More of a muted pink.

I love it - looks very chic! Unfortunately I'm not tall so it wouldn't suit me, but given you are I would go for it

I thought it was going to be the orange colour they have at the moment. I like the pink too though. I think the colour and style work together. It's meant to look 80s surely. If only I was tall and slim!

Lovely for summer, and looks a bit less bright on the photo of the lady at home

Thanks guys I'll dodge this purchase I think!!

I reckon that’s a good decision OP! £79 for a tube of garish synthetic fabric? No thanks!

It looks just like what I used buy off the market c. 1989 £79?

Pair it with orange. Hot pink and orange together is amazing

I've not seen the dress but they have a knit in the same colour
If it is the same fabric it is quite odd- thick and plastic like

Its dry clean! £8 every time you wear it.

No it’s fine. Quite the nod to the 80s.

If you are tall and slim it will look good. Not forgiving though so if you have any bulges crack out the Spanx.

@MySecretHistory

It’ll be fine on a 30d quick wash.

They put dry clean on everything

It's fine, but Christ, that's an unforgiving cut.

£80 for a long pink vest!

Love the colour and would be fine for a beach dress but other than that I don’t really think so.

@gogohm

No, looks very cheap (and it's not!)

That was my thought. Looks like something from Primark -sorry!

Haha I was looking at this dress earlier. So glad I've read this as won't be purchasing either. I've definitely not got the figure for it.

It’s gorgeous and I like the colour a lot. It’s not tacky at all and if you’ve the figure then it would look fab.

The colour is fabulous!

Whoever said 108s was spot on - that colour tip over really easily into looking cheap and Timmy Mallett-ish I’m afraid.

1980s! Fucking autocorrect

Omg if I could afford that I would get it!

Love it!

It's knitted, so not cool to wear. it will cling to every part of you, and the colour is garish.
