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.

😍i love it

if it suits you on and you feel confident in it, great!

My childhood curtains are alive and well! If you were a child in the 1970s it will haunt you. Maybe different if you are younger and didn't spend your time looking at those patterns.

Yep, my grandma had those curtains too.

I love it and I'm sickened that it's sold out in my size , have seen it in so many people online and it looks so gorgeous. Way nicer in real life than in those pics

A lot of you seem to have no recollection of the 70s.

While the fabric is straight of someone’s bedspread….

…no self-respecting woman would have worn a dress shaped like that.

I'm far too old for a dress like that but I think it will look nice on a younger woman on the slim side.
Not my colours, but if you're dark and tanned I think it would pop.

*off

It looks like Homer's moo-moo.

My grandma had curtains like that in her caravan.

Don't buy it yet, it'll be half price in the sale.

I have one from Emma Mattinson that is a very similar style, it looks fab with sandals or boots. This one is more summery but I’d go for it, they are super comfy as well!

I remember this as a furnishing print in the early 70s. Yes I am that old and if you love it, wear it 😀

Ha! I bought this in store as I liked the retro vibe. Like others have said, the fit is all wrong: it's big in all the wrong places and not flattering at all. It made me look much bigger than I am (12/14).

There is a skirt in it you may like better...

Yuck

Horrific. Like 1970s vinyl wallpaper.

I can't imagine that style would be flattering to anyone unless a pregnant woman. It's probably very comfortable, though

Love the pattern. Would prefer it as a sleeveless sundress so I'd be tempted to chop the sleeves off.

I quite like the print, but the cut makes even a model look large.

MIL has kitchen curtains like that , so no.

I am short so it is not for me but I have tall friends who would rock it.

When DDs were little I used to buy vintage pillow cases to make dresses for them - bit like this but without sleeves and with a bit of gingham contrast. Great to know I was ahead of the trend.

It's very Hattie Jacques. A very large woman with a very small dog wears it, in a deckchair on a pebble beach eating a Mr Whippy.

I had the same one! Scratchy nylon, not warm at all.

Also reminds me of the hallway wallpaper.

I love it and have bought it!

Am looking forward to being transported back to my 70s childhood when it arrives.

I think it's so awful it's cool. I would stick a denim jacket on top.
