Who buys stuff like this?

I love fantasy clothing and unusual ideas. But in the real world, like high street fashion, who the heck buys this and wears it somewhere?

Ok, you are going to say young people, but I never see any young person dressed like this, although I might live in a bit of a strange place Grin

I wouldn't wear it, but it's fine, I have no issue with it, but are you meant to buy it, wear it once at a special event then bin it? Where is this special event?

Actually i am thinking a young person might wear it to a concert or festival. My post is pointless.

I imagine on holiday

QforCucumber · 19/07/2023 20:45

I’m 36, I’d wear that on holiday without a doubt - I actually really like it

PonyPatter44 · 19/07/2023 20:46

Size 10 women celebrating their 21st birthdays in Faliraki. They are ALL wearing them!

Laiku · 19/07/2023 20:47

I like it, to be honest, but i just never see this kind of thing out and about, even on hols. And I love crochet.

I need to get out moreGrin

It's not that unusual.. I'm on holidays and a lot of young women are wearing similar outfits, mostly as a pool/beach cover up.

Laiku · 19/07/2023 20:48

I really do need to get out more!

I'm quite disappointed now, I was expecting something truly outlandish 😂

Laiku · 19/07/2023 20:52

not outlandish, just the practicality. I see it now, i must lead a bloody sheltered life.

If i was aiming for outlandish i would square in on M&S Grin

DSD 18 has a crochet dress, it's fashionable at the moment it seems.

noglow · 19/07/2023 21:05

Beach holiday but you'd get a funny tan

WhatWillIWear · 20/07/2023 08:42

Where’s it from,@Laiku?

GettingStuffed · 20/07/2023 09:04

I've bought similar to wear as a beach coverup

Floofydawg · 20/07/2023 09:23

I saw a young girl in Spain wearing something very similar, but it was as a beach cover-up.

Lobelia123 · 20/07/2023 09:25

Victoria Silvstedt and other Euro millionaires who are permanently stuck in the 90s - I saw recent pictures of her going to lunch in almost this exact ensemble. While this comment sounds snide, I actually hugely enjoy her determined enjoyment of her life of holidays and parties and her refusal to bow down to her age..... and she looked pretty good in the crochet outfit.

liveforsummer · 20/07/2023 09:29

I'd wear that on holiday and im 43 😅

liveforsummer · 20/07/2023 09:30

I'd also wear the top with a pair of jeans. I actually want one 😆

ferretface · 20/07/2023 09:40

I'm in my 30s and I'd wear it at a beach bar!

StarlightLady · 20/07/2023 09:52

It's a beach cover up, not a dress for a restaurant. I'm in my 40s and would wear it in the right situation.

Same! I really like it
I think the whole outfit would look great as festival wear
