I have always hated leopard print with a passion. It's been everywhere for years and can't be escaped!
However I strangely liked this dress. I love the fit but can't get over it being leopard print. What do others think?
Age 35 and size 8 for reference.

Hi all, thank you for the opinions. I'm still torn!

It's from Sezane, so not cheap. With regards to it being low cut, the back has ties and it is completely adjustable. I didn't tie it properly and it did start falling down a bit by the time I took photos.

Love!!

i think it’s a really meh dress and looks a bit like you got it off the market. Sorry! It does fit you nicely though.

with your amazing figure you can chose anything and you can get something much nicer than that.

Coffeeandcards · 18/04/2023 08:13

Where would you wear it? Park maybe, work def not.

It looks cheap to me if I’m honest. You have a gorgeous figure, I think there are better dresses out there for you!

tigerbear · 18/04/2023 08:17

It looks great on you, but I wouldn’t pay Sezane prices for it. There are much cheaper similar ones on Silk Fred, Dancing Leopard, ASOS etc

hexsnidgett · 18/04/2023 08:24

Not a fan of animal print, but mostly I think it's a bit too booby.

OldTinHat · 18/04/2023 09:32

I love it!!

Mars27 · 18/04/2023 09:37

You're a size 8, you can wear a bin bag that it will look great on you Grin

But this dress looks a bit cheap, sorry

orangedalmatian · 18/04/2023 09:39

To be honest I didn't even realise it was leopard print, just a lovely mustard colour with black blobs. It looks great.

Hotvimto3 · 18/04/2023 09:39

Looks amazing on you x

gettingoldisshit · 18/04/2023 09:44

It looks lovely on you

signalsnap · 18/04/2023 18:01

Not my favourite print, but that cut is lovely on you.

BoredOfThisMansWorld · 18/04/2023 18:18

I love leopard print and kind of see it as functioning close to a neutral (unless it's a coloured leopard print obvs) so following opinion slightly biased..... That dress looks brilliant on you. Sure it's low-ish - choose bra carefully - but it's hardly outrageous. Agree black jacket or blazer would look great. It's a lovely shape, as are you.

fruitypancake · 18/04/2023 18:30

Looks gorgeous

BarelyLiterate · 18/04/2023 18:45

That sort of animal print isn’t my thing, but it looks great on you. In fairness, you have such a fantastic figure that anything would look great on you.

MrsMoastyToasty · 18/04/2023 18:51

It's a no from me. It reminds me of nightwear .

QueSyrahSyrah · 18/04/2023 18:52

I don't especially like animal print but that looks great on you!

BCBird · 18/04/2023 18:54

Oh to be 35 and size 8😂I used to think it was tacky, think Bet Lynch🤣but love it now. Looking good OP

mischlerischler · 18/04/2023 18:56

I don't like animal prints either, but it looks really nice on you!

Although I wouldn't pay sezane price for it.

moonspiral · 18/04/2023 18:57

I think its fine unless you go a similar colour when you tan

moonspiral · 18/04/2023 18:57

It fits you very well

Yes, I have a nightie that is very similar to this dress.

You have a lovely figure OP, I don't think this dress is right for you. The colour is very close to your skin tone. I'd love to see you in a dark emerald green or coral.

GettingStuffed · 18/04/2023 19:51

I like it a lot apart from the spaghetti straps, it makes it awkward to wear a bra.

No

And it doesn't look like Sezanne.

Horsedoglover59 · 18/04/2023 19:58

I do think it looks good on you, but for Sezane prices I think I might choose something else, especially as someone mentioned, if you tan easily. Oh to be size 8, with a lovely figure like yours!
