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.

The pattern kills it for me. Don't mind the shape of it at all. Looks comfy, but very few people can pull those colours off. It doesn't even look nice on the model.

Vile but I'm 99% my grandmother had that exact print on an old cushion cover

I like it, but people will think you are pregnant.

That is so gloriously seventies that I love it.

I would stage a 70s fancy dress party just to be able to wear it.

100% reminds me of a bedspread my parents used to have though 🤣

I love it and going near a big tesco today :)

If you are nifty with sewing, it would make a fab tunic style top over bell bottom flared jeans and a skirt worn with a simple black fitted t-shirt

Nice holiday dress for this summer but I expect it would be in the back of your wardrobe next year!

Reckon it also depends on your colouring, I like the dress but I much prefer it on this model:

@CorsicaDreaming love the idea of turning it into a top, might buy one and try this!

I'd like it if it was darker tones instead of very bright. Almost florescent. Should gone for more ochre and burnt orange

It's sainsburys x

I've ordered it! I don't use icture apps or read magazines though, so this is the first time I've seen it

@PorkPieForStarters - yes you're right, it looks lovely on her.

But it does still look like a dress where you need to grab a big hat, bottle of Pimm's and go punting!

Although I can think of worse looks.... Grab a bottle of WKD and be sick behind the pub toilets...

My mum had this as a nightdress up to about 1984

I love it 😍

Late 1970s caravan curtains.

@CorsicaDreaming sounds like a great day out! The first option, that is...😂

It’s Sainsbury, not Tesco, and I may have just ordered it online…

I love it. Lovely and retro print, nice fabric
and a great price

My gran circa 1975 rang she wants her curtains and her sofa back

It's a nay from me

Does she still have the curtains? Vintage fabric meets a seamstress ...

I love it! Would look dreadful on me but if you're tall and slim knock yourself out!

I'm considering buying it and turning it into a maxi skirt.

Am not tall, slim or tanned 🤣🤣

I am, however, a shortarse and in my haste to look like a 1970s themed galleon in full sail I ordered the regular one without realising there was a petite version. Have now ordered that as well so clearly haven't been put off by the majority of the comments ☺

Spent my 20s in a self-hating uniform of baggy black clothing so am making a conscious effort to have more fun with clothes and to wear things that spark joy.

Oh I love it! I'll probably add it to the collection of dresses I love looking at in my wardrobe but never wear as I don't think I can pull it off!

Special people only can love that dress

I love the print, reminds me of my youth.. but id have to wear it with fuck off boots and jacket! i.e 'this is retro, not floaty wafty' 😀
