A marmite dress for your perusal. Yay or nay?

Dress

I kinda love it but appreciate that many might think it's heinous 🤣. Have seen it on a few people on Instagram and it looks lovely. Cotton as well.

Have bought and will try on but it could go either way.

It's a little bit too big abs balloony across the hips.

Nay. Had wallpaper like it as a child in the 70s

We had those in our kitchen! And wallpaper the same (you can imagine that with the orange and brown kitchen cabinets I'm sure. Gotta love the 70s!) It looks identical.

Nay,nay,nay

Its pretty awful but kind of charming in its own way.

Looks awful on the model but I’ve seen it in on a woman a fb group and she looked great. So I think it’s a winner (if you have a slightly quirky style). It’d look hideous on me.

I like the style, not too keen on the fabric

i made something similar and received some nice compliments (which surprised me as I’d made it for comfort, not to look good).

Nope! I really don’t get the appeal of this cut? It’s so shapeless!

Good god no. My gran had a similar bedspread.

Errm…. if you love it it’s not massively offensive so on that basis go for it.

However, I feel the need to share the fact it did trigger a childhood (early 80’s) memory of my childminders foldable garden chairs

If you are tall and willowy, yes. It is a bit 70's duvet cover, though.

A bit too 70s maternity for my tastes!

No from me. I quite like oversized dresses but the shape of that is strange - jutting out from the breasts. Also I don’t like the colours either.

Love it

I love 70s style prints and smocks

I love the print, but I hate the style. I think most people would look like a walking duvet in that shape.

I like it, but would only wear it with a belt.

Nay from me. Sorry but it looks like the kind of print that covered sofa's in the 70's.

Team it with a pair of trainers and it'll be a banger!! Love it!!

Looks like the sort of dress I had in my dressing up box as a child, my grandma's 70s cast offs I think :-)

I'm pretty sure our kitchen blinds were a very similar design too :-)

God know, reminds me of wallpaper we had when I was a child. Horrific.

I should really preview my posts - that should clearly be God ‘no’ not know. Urgh

I don't hate it but I think it depends on your colouring- i could see it working for a darker complexion

It's cotton! It had sleeves! It doesn't show my knees! I bought it as soon as I saw it.

My style is retro so it's great for me however I did take the elastic out of the sleeves and now they are more like angel sleeves.

Some vintage Scholls would set it off but I don't wear leather so still looking for shoes.
