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 neither love nor hate, I like it. I’m a believer in anyone being able to wear anything as long as it’s styled right.

Jaxhog · 06/05/2022 16:43

No way! Unless you're v. young and v. thin.

TheWeeDonkey · 06/05/2022 16:46

These old lady dresses suit you if you're very young and very slim and very trendy otherwise you just look like an old lady.

I think it's really pretty! The fabric is stunning! It's a lovely summery dress. With the right accessories it will look amazing! It's got a boho feel about it 🥰

mackthepony · 06/05/2022 17:03

I'm out.

As a big boobed hourglass jewel colour that is the last thing I'd wear

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 06/05/2022 17:17

Once, twice and three times a NOPE.

ElizabethinherGermanGarden · 06/05/2022 17:19

Love it!

AgnesMcScrimp · 06/05/2022 17:42

Yay, I love it. Thinking of getting it for Eurovision party then working from home on hot days. I love a bit of seventies happiness in my wardrobe.

PorkySisyphus · 06/05/2022 18:04

It's arrived and I LOVE it 😀

Is it the single most flattering thing I've ever worn? Nope!
But it is SO comfy and does amazing things to my boobs and is even nicer than I'd hoped it would be.

Not posting a pic tonight as am in slug mode after hectic week at work. Maybe tomorrow....

Anyone thinking of buying it, size down!

Wow, that was quick. Waiting for mine to be delivered (to the pick up point).

PorkySisyphus · 06/05/2022 19:04

I paid the extra few quid for next day delivery River as have zero ability to wait for things!

Its the regular length one that's arrived and its the perfect length on me (5'4) so the petite one will be going back when it arrives.

Glad you went for it and love it Porky !

midsomermurderess · 06/05/2022 19:46

I think it would be a nice holiday dress. Easy to slip into after a day on the beach, heading out for a meal.

May and thrice nay

Looks like my nan’s curtains

😂😂😂

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 06/05/2022 19:57

It looks like my Nan's duvet cover. Sorry, but no.

AxolotlEars · 06/05/2022 20:16

nope because its trendy I am sure that this was almost the exact design of the wall paper in our kitchen when I was 4, which is some time ago!

Ohchristmastreeohchristmastree · 06/05/2022 20:22

I love it but couldn’t pull it off myself.

tobi21 · 06/05/2022 20:25

I do really like it, but I'd only wear it pregnant. Screams maternity

pictish · 06/05/2022 20:26

I love it but I would find the elastic round the sleeves above the elbow annoying.
It’s really pretty, great colours and simple styling.

iklboo · 06/05/2022 20:44

Nope. Not for me.

Coniferhedge · 06/05/2022 21:05

I really like this! I’m perimenopausal and the hot flushes are coming thick and fast. This style of dress is a Godsend for me at the minute, even in the cooler months. I also like the pattern. Makes me nostalgic for the 70’s!

itsmeagainlol · 06/05/2022 21:10

I love it thought it would be too long for me. I actually think its really retro and flattering.

TheChurchOfEli · 06/05/2022 21:12

I absolutely love the pattern but the cut of the dress would look hideous on me. I’m not even sure it looks that good on the model which doesn’t bode well.

GellerYeller · 06/05/2022 21:27

I'm glad you love it. I really like the pattern but fear due to advancing age it would instantly transform me into a Margo Leadbetter tribute act.

StaunchMomma · 06/05/2022 21:40

Screams George & Mildred.
