Does anyone have this dress?

If so what is it like on a real person?

Any opinions on it?

I don't have it. It's an unobtrusive wearable, every day dress.

It's very like the sort of dress the new office junior in my office wears.

Hoppinggreen · 11/02/2023 18:24

Not got it yet but I was considering it.
I am very much not an office junior though

kingofchaos · 11/02/2023 18:37

I'm definitely not an office junior! I'm pushing 50 but thought it looked quite nice.

May order it and try it on.

I have it! It's really nice but a little too short for me. This makes the waist sit a bit too high. I am 5'10 though so I would say it depends on your height!

kingofchaos · 11/02/2023 20:55

Thanks @DogAndWineLover

I'm 5ft 7 so shouldn't be too short!

Did you buy your usual size as Hish can sometimes come up big?

OP posts:
DogAndWineLover · 11/02/2023 20:58

Yes, I bought my usual size! :) hope it looks fab! Xx

The new office junior is one of the best dressed people in the office. Very few people have gone back to formal office wear and frankly look awful. The office junior looks far more presentable and business like than most of them.

It's a nice dress.

kingofchaos · 12/02/2023 08:03

@NatashaDancing haha well I work in a school office so lets see!

OP posts:
kingofchaos · 14/02/2023 09:40

Hmm...

Maybe I need a bigger size, although I'm on a fitness drive at the moment to try and get back into my many clothes that no longer fit!

Legs/ skin/ toenails etc have been neglected over winter so look pasty and blobby.

Date I ask for opinions? Please be kind..

I think it looks nice.
It’s not amazing but it’s fine. I suppose it depends whether you wanted amazing or nice

kingofchaos · 14/02/2023 09:46

Just something to wear to work really.

I know what you mean.. thanks 😊

It's a nice dress- I used to wear this style all the time to the office (currently on May leave and living in leggings and nursing t-shirts!)
What makes you think you need a bigger size? I think it fits you well -seems to accentuate your waist, but it's not clingy at all

kingofchaos · 14/02/2023 10:19

@KatRee iI jyst wondered if it looked a bit short?

When I first tried it on it was really uncomfortable.. then I realised I'd put it on back to front! 🙄😂

GCAcademic · 14/02/2023 10:23

To me, the top and the skirt part of the dress look unbalanced. I think it needs to be an inch or two longer.

eish · 14/02/2023 10:27

I think it looks fine but it doesn't look like a £79 dress!

Roxie99 · 14/02/2023 10:27

Actually looks really nice on you enjoy!

Inastatus · 14/02/2023 10:31

I think it looks nice on you OP, especially with your trainers.

MissSmiley · 14/02/2023 11:05

It's nice, it suits you but it looks like white stuff

IjustbelieveinMe · 14/02/2023 11:35

I like your sandles are they Dr martens (last pic) sorry off topic! But the dress looks great

kingofchaos · 14/02/2023 12:07

@IjustbelieveinMe they are! Still haven't managed to break them in though.

This will be the year ( hopefully)!

What’s it made of? Because I like hush but ime the specific viscose or whatever it is that they use for lots of their dresses shrinks like mad, even if you follow the washing instructions meticulously.

GCAcademic · 14/02/2023 13:56

True, it will end up shorter if it's viscose.

That's the same fabric as the one I had that shrank.

I liked it so much that I bought a replacement, thinking I must have done something slightly wrong the first time, and was even more careful to ensure I treated it precisely as instructed: hand wash in cold water, very careful air drying etc.

Second one shrank too.

Mummyford · 14/02/2023 17:41

I like the bottom on you, but I think the top sort of swamps the dress a bit. Between the print and the angles, it's slightly hard to tell from the photos, but I don't think the waist is hitting you in the right place (for what it's worth, I think it looks a bit out of proportion on the model too). If you're looking for an easy to wear work dress, I suspect you can do better.
These are a similar price point
