Because I think this is not nice. It makes the lady look like a doily.

I need something more streamlined so it’s not for me but plenty of people like that style

Frenchfancy · 08/11/2022 16:44

I'd wear it if I needed to go to a fancy dress party as a Christmas tree.

Seebee · 08/11/2022 16:44

What’s interesting is that even the models are covering the top half with other clothes…

Girlintheframe · 08/11/2022 16:45

I like it. Don't like the ways it's styled but think it could look good

Ambushedbycakeinmydreams · 08/11/2022 16:46

Oh dear. Horrific. And I usually like Boden too.

Theimpossiblegirl · 08/11/2022 16:46

It does nothing for the model's boobs so I dread to think how unflattering it would be on me.

finallydones · 08/11/2022 16:46

you need no boobs

hairyunicorn · 08/11/2022 16:47

its a no from me, it's def got a lot going on

YouSoundLovely · 08/11/2022 16:48

Nope.

(How much?!)

JuneOsborne · 08/11/2022 16:48

I clicked on the link to see it's selling like hot cakes apparently. So someone's buying it!

But the boobs things is weird.

AriettyHomily · 08/11/2022 16:49

It could be styled better

starfishmummy · 08/11/2022 16:50

It's hideous!

nancyglancey · 08/11/2022 16:50

Oh Lord no, my bosoms would look like watermelons.

FallingLeaves1111 · 08/11/2022 16:50

I think it is nice. I don't like the sandals with opaques though.

MushMonster · 08/11/2022 16:51

Another nope from me

Notlivinglife · 08/11/2022 16:51

No, not for me. Looks like a Flamenco dancer would wear.m

HypaHypa · 08/11/2022 16:52

Yep. Am small of stature and large of boob. It would look, interesting.

StPaulandTheBrokenBones · 08/11/2022 16:52

I just think it's got way too much going on. If I wore it I would look like Hamble from Play School.

Definitely not from the Less Is More school of design.

It’s a 100% No from me. I hate fussy.

DorritLittle · 08/11/2022 16:55

It would look utterly terrible on me so it's a No.

Jaffacats · 08/11/2022 16:55

No it looks like a steam punk version of a toilet roll dolly. The black dress is marginally better but at £220 it would be an expensive mistake.

ArabeI · 08/11/2022 16:55

No.

It might suit some people but even then the design isn't particularly appealing. Doily did someone say?

paintitallover · 08/11/2022 16:55

No. Frilly and horrible.
