I think it looks awful… even on the model.

LowbrowVictoriana · 27/04/2022 09:05

How rude is everyone..

You literally created a post to ask for opinions! You got them.🙄

Im afraid I’m in the “it’s hideous” camp. ‘Style’ aside, it looks solid… like it could stand up by itself when not being worn.

JaneJeffer · 27/04/2022 09:30

Did you purchase it from Oleson's Mercantile?

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 27/04/2022 09:56

I mean - sure it's fine to wear anything you like and loads of people like this sort of thing currently.
But this particular one does look literally like you've taken the cover off an old sofa you found in a log cabin in Alaska, ruched up a hole for the neck and shoved it on. It's not a good example of the style imo.

If you style it with a chicken, a pitchfork, and some hay then it will be fab! Enjoy, OP!

Don’t forget the egg 🧺 basket.

You will also need utilitarian shoes/boots.

Very nice. Handy for camping too (if your DH likes camping).

WeirdManFromRummikub · 27/04/2022 10:15

What label is it? Where did you get it?

5128gap · 27/04/2022 11:09

Its absolutely gorgeous and so flattering. Quite the nicest garment I've ever seen. I do hope your hubby likes it too OP, but I think you might be disappointed, as usually men prefer us in tighter, shorter things, so you might need to take it back. Or maybe wear it around the house and change just before he gets in from work?😉

It reminds me of the orphans in Annie, chuck some soot on it and it would be perfect.

catsonahottinroof · 27/04/2022 11:54

I don't mind this type of dress in general - gingham and loose, prairie style etc. I don't like the high neckline on this though, I think it would be unflattering on most body shapes.

WakeyCakeyHeart · 27/04/2022 12:31

It's a bit Little House on The Prairie for me but if you love it, that's all that matters x

to Everyone who dislikes it. I’m going to put it on and go to each of your houses in it and show you how womanly I look.

KirstenBlest · 27/04/2022 15:59

Kettle's on, duck. May I try it on please?

iklboo · 27/04/2022 16:01

It looks like it's made from an old duvet cover. Badly.

caringcarer · 27/04/2022 16:41

Not flattering.

lljkk · 27/04/2022 16:45

I'm super glad you like it, OP. <bites tongue>

fishingforflies · 27/04/2022 17:25

Depends which MN husband you have, is he either the cheating abusive scrote, or the most handsome, high earning, clever, funny, kind, worships at DW and their DC feet type?

I don't think the first type would dig that dress, but then he doesn't notice you in that way anymore cos he's shagging your neighbour and you're better off without him.

The second type will probably sew himself a matching suit (and add pockets to the dress for you) so you can twin.

It’ll be handy for shoplifting

Easily stuff 10 mumsnet chickens up that with room for a bottle of Echo Falls

Now I know you're on a windup 🤣🤣🤣

KimikosNightmare · 27/04/2022 17:51

I don't really know what the point of this thread is. The dress is by a Danish designer and the photograph is from a Vogue shoot in 2018. Does the OP think this thread is clever or funny? It isn't. I doubt very much if she has bought it.

The comment about hoping her husband likes it is a bit misplaced. It's the type of dress and at a price that it will be bought by women who couldn't care less whether men like it.

The dress is much nicer than 2 hideous nylon monstrosities being praised on other threads
