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!

Looks better on you than it does the model
Absolutely gorgeous 🎉

Agreed and your shoes are absolutely gorgeous!

Looks better on you than the model!

Your figure looks great! Agree with the poster that I’m unsure on the shoes (maybe something slightly plainer would be better as the dress has a lot going on?)

I think you need to send your photo to the company and tell them you can sell more dresses than her. I think it's your height, it looks better being longer on you

Wow are the adidas pink trainers yours? They would look amazing

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 15/10/2023 19:16

The pink trainers could be good.👍

happylittlesloth · 15/10/2023 19:18

Much nicer on you than the model. Will look good shimmying.

pinkpedi · 15/10/2023 19:47

Yes I have those trainers and love them! I am defo a trainers and dress person. This is why I have the wobbles about the dress I think!

Tbh I think I'm gonna just try find a different dress! And keep this one for another day! 🤣

Really appreciate everyone's help!

Have you tried on the dress with the trainers? V jealous of your trainers btw, they’re amazing.

AutumIsOrange · 15/10/2023 22:35

@pinkpedi with trainers? I stand corrected. It’s all about the styling, clearly!!

WEAR THE DRESS!

The gold shoes gave the dress the wrong (Jane McDonald) impression. Don’t get me wrong, Ms McD is a goddess and (rightly) an icon for a Cruiser. This is not you. Don’t wear the heels.

With knackered, battered trainers, that dress will be awesome. Dunno why it makes a difference, but it does and I don’t make the rules.

jemimafuddleduck · 15/10/2023 22:54

@pinkpedi can you tell me where your gold shoes are from please, love them!

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 15/10/2023 22:55

You look gorgeous op

threecupsofteaminimum · 15/10/2023 23:56

You look incredible!

pinkpedi · 17/10/2023 10:56

@AutumIsOrange thanks! I've been away for the weekend but will try on with trainers when I'm back and see how that works! It will be more comfy for dancing for sure!

@jemimafuddleduck I'm really not sure, I've had them for years, maybe top shop!

Thanks again for all your help and compliments everyone! I really was expecting a lot more criticism so I feel quite boosted! 😂

Honestly, don't like the dress at all, too fussy and think you might only wear it once because it stands out so much. As for wearing it to a rave 😬

KnittingDiva · 17/10/2023 11:01

Meant to add that you have a great figure and could really carry off a more casual/looser look if that makes sense.

what's with the model, she looks like she is going to kill someone 😂

pinkpedi · 17/10/2023 12:22

@KnittingDiva
I know it's very marmite, hence my hesitation!
I regularly wear baggy jeans and a t shirt (in life and raving) but sometimes I wear different styles. My post isn't about being it being suitable for the event. If I decide I like and will keep I'd wear it loads. I'd wear it out for dinner, to other club events, I'd even wear it for Sunday lunch in the pub if I was in a dress up mood. I'm not bothered if others think I'm over dressed, that's their issue not mine!

I didn't like it in the first pic, but actually it looks really nice in you OP. You look great. I'd wear that if it looked as good in me x
