I'm a size 12 - 14. Eternally pale unfortunately so I won't be anywhere near the colour of the model. Balayage hair.

Do you think this will look nice or nah?

It’s not something I would wear but I love people embracing bold looks. I’m much more onboard with something dramatic than really safe and I think shorts with a cape is definitely that. I also don’t think you need to be the same size as the model to pull this off. The opposite in fact!

Where I’m less sure is the colour. It feels like the wrong undertones for someone who is very pale? I have similar colouring and would avoid for this reason. But you can only know by trying on …

It will only look good if you have long legs, personally I I think I would suit it and probably wear it.

I love it...but then I'm a floral lover! If you are too, then go for it (judging from the responses here, lots aren't though 🤣🤣)

It’s a very cheap fashion type of look, not for me.

I like it but don't think the colour would work well with pale skin. Black would be ok but blue or green flowers would be better.

Nah. Based on the fact that it is Chinese fast fashion, and how appalingly they treat their workers. Also, nah, based on that it's far too much going on. If you don't have a model body you will just drown in it, and if you are not tanned you the contrast will be too sharp.

I think it looks a bit cheap tbh - the fabric is probably nasty.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/06/2022 12:59

I like a dark floral print though.

I'm a floral lover too but that dress is hideous. It's even worse in the cream, green and blue options.

It would look quite cool in the slow motion shot of a new 22 year old Love island contestant entering the villa (with wind machine), and in no other context.

Metabigot · 18/06/2022 13:13

Nah. It's a bit 'nans curtains' with the pattern.

Arenanewbie · 18/06/2022 13:21

It looks really nice and stylish for a tall person with good figure, nice long legs, suitable colouring and hairstyle and for the right occasion. And I think you need to be rather younger for this one.
I’m none of this and florals don’t suit me at all so I wouldn’t wear it.

Best post on the thread. That's it exactly.
