Help, I think I like this dress but I'm not sure, it's a bit out there and not my usual! It's to wear dancing.
Please be kind!! Thanks all!

I don't like the dress, as pp there's too much going on. It sort of chops you into 4.
The shoes are ok but don't go with the dress.
Get a little black dress and wear it with the shoes

googledidnthelp · 14/10/2023 20:26

Like the dress for dancing but don't think the shoes are a good match

Olika · 14/10/2023 20:50

You look amazing!! Looks so much better on you than the model.

Saxendi · 14/10/2023 20:59

Beautiful!

whereisthecheese · 14/10/2023 21:51

What kind of dancing? Just cos I'm nosy. I think it'll look amazing when dancing

I never would've picked the dress based on the website photo, but it looks great on you OP. And the fringe will be fab for dancing!

Same thoughts!

pinkpedi · 15/10/2023 10:37

Thanks again everyone!!
For those that mention the shoes, it's because I barely have any shoes! I'm very much a trainers type of girl! I can't wear heels. What would you suggest?

The dancing I am doing is to house music, it's a rave Smile

The Jayne McDonald comment literally made me howl!!

Oh and yes, the straps in my shoes is because they were not done up properly and yes, they were cheap! I've never worn them before although I've had them years!

For real? If so I don't think that's the right dress.

Candleabra · 15/10/2023 13:01

Oh I thought salsa or another Latin style dance.
Not for house music I don’t think. And not heels either.

pinkpedi · 15/10/2023 13:06

Really not being funny but I don't want advise if it's appropriate for a rave as I have raved all my life. 😂

It's more about the actual dress!

I think it looks great.....

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 15/10/2023 15:38

You look great!

Somewhatchallenging · 15/10/2023 15:41

Much better on you than on the model. It looks great.

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 15/10/2023 15:42

The shoes aren´t something I´d wear but they are cute.

But the straps sticking out like that is (probably) irrationally annoying imo.

TheLeadbetterLife · 15/10/2023 15:46

There is a lot going on, but you’re absolutely pulling it off OP. I think it’s more Donatella Versace than Jayne MacDonald. I do agree that the shoes are wrong though, they’re pulling focus. Go for something simpler that you can dance in.

pinkpedi · 15/10/2023 16:23

@TheLeadbetterLife yes!! Thank you! I also thought more Versace, I was even going to buy a Versace handbag to go with it, not something I've bought since the 90's! 🤣

I would normally wear trainers dancing. I have a pair of pink velvet Gucci/gazelles but I don't think they work.
So many people have mentioned the shoes, because I can't cope with heels what so you suggest??

Wow it looks awful on the model and amazing on you!

This - looks lovely, enjoy !

Verite1 · 15/10/2023 16:30

I’m afraid I’m not keen. It’s very busy and a bit cruise ship to my mind. You look great in it - it’s just not my style. And i
don’t like the shoes either.

I think we need to see the pink trainers.

pilates · 15/10/2023 17:58

Very nice - you wear it well

UndercoverCop · 15/10/2023 17:58

Honestly for raving I'd put flatform trainers or similar with it

UndercoverCop · 15/10/2023 18:01

These or even the gold converse
