This dress? I love it but people seem indifferent.

[smakph]

I’ve bought this lovely dress. I hope my DH likes to see me in it.
opinions?

Lol at looking "womanly" 😂

Amish chic is a thing. And that dress is a thing too.

It's awful, it looks awful on the model so can't imagine how much worse it would be on the average person

You've clearly missed the joke

To be a joke would need something to be funny. There's nothing funny or amusing here.

I like it. I would wear it for synagogue.

I would also love to see the Georgette Heyer heroine coat! Can we have a photo? Or at least a historically accurate description in elegant prose?

Along the lines of 'She stood up in a round gown of figured muslin with a spencer of twilled silk', NomNomNom?

I am not keen on the neckline, the sleeves, the bodice pattern and colours, do not like the long frill at the bottom with the material in a different direction, at all! And I dislike the contrast between the sleeves in white and the pattern in the dress.

I cannot see what you see on it, at all.

I would got with something like this? **

Now I will sit down to watch some TV waiting for your arrival LOL

@GuppytheCat 🙂and probably something about a hat too

Ah yes, would you prefer a charming villager hat of chip straw or a silk-lined poke bonnet, not that I’m sure what that is without googling?

It makes the beautiful thin model look like a sack of spuds so I imagine it would look hideous on an ordinary woman.

But we all have different tastes so you do you.

Depending on the heroine, it would have to be either the one that sets off her curls to charming effect, or the one that allows a glimpse of the determined expression in her eyes

Of course — and one must not forget the neatly turned ankle in a half-boot of kid (or orange jean, though that sounds unlikely written down).
