Is this the worst dress ever?

I mean, I like the neckline, and would accept the flimsy cheap fabric (normal for now).
But who on earth looked at it and thought ' I know what that needs ...'

It looks like someone splatted a giant spider on it.

heldinadream · 05/09/2024 15:12

It's a bit like they've flung a massive black dead spider at it. 😳

heldinadream · 05/09/2024 15:13

Ah - consensus on the spider! 🕷

Prettybubblesintheair · 05/09/2024 15:14

I actually love it!

AdviceNeeded2024 · 05/09/2024 15:19

I’ve seen worse. I think it’s the messiness off the bottom bow that throws it off. If it were mini length with short sleeves I’d probably consider buying it 😂

JaneJeffer · 05/09/2024 15:22

It's a bit upstairs at the saloon but I've seen worse things

I see 100 worse dresses recommended here every day …

Had a look on the UO site and see it’s by Damson Madder, who I generally have a bit of time for. They’re not huge, make an effort with design and they aim to source and manufacture their clothes ethically. Clothes of theirs I’ve seen in real life have been rather lovely for their prices. This dress is apparently 100% cotton. Looks prettier in green!

I don't love it, but I've seen a lot worse on S&B.

BobbyBiscuits · 05/09/2024 15:36

That is horrible. The juxtaposition of the bows or whatever they are with the really cheapo looking 'prairie chic' style of the dress is just wrong. And to dress your window with it? UO must have some nicer shit they could put in their street facing display? Maybe the person that put it there was on their last shift. 🤣

CalicoPusscat · 05/09/2024 15:45

I wouldn't buy it but think it's OK.

Guess the bows could be tidied up. Is it cotton?

It could do with a few more bows

Maybe down the arms, then?

MrsMoastyToasty · 05/09/2024 16:45

It's a bit Arachnophobia meets Little House On The Prairie. ...

AdviceNeeded2024 · 05/09/2024 16:56

Incidentally I got this ad on this thread… this is MUCH worse in my opinion!

How about this

rainbow1902 · 05/09/2024 17:32

Without the black bows and turned into a jumpsuit yeah id wear it.
Some nice little flats on id style it out.
In fact its something id buy and and transform it.
Yes im sad.

HungryLittleCrocodile · 05/09/2024 17:34

The dress is nice, but the black spidery bows are ridiculous and ruin the dress.

Britpopbaby · 05/09/2024 18:30

I like it and think it could look fantastic!

TheOGCCL · 05/09/2024 18:34

How to give your milkmaid look an edge.

myrtleWilson · 05/09/2024 18:42

It does look less in your face in the green! But I kinda admire whoever is wearing the love child of the Quality Street Fudge and the Quality Street The Purple One...

expiredplants · 05/09/2024 18:52

Maybe a nod to Halloween? 🕷️

Mirabai · 05/09/2024 19:05

Outlander chic. If you were 19 it might be fun minus the black spiders.

DerekFaker · 05/09/2024 19:05

I've seen worse, mostly on here.

Pinguastic · 05/09/2024 19:26

Bows are very on trend right now according to a teen i know … I asked her wtf with all these hair clips with bows with long ribbons near tils at every high street shop. She said it’s a “thing” right now. So I guess that why they are in this dress .. UO often has very odd clothes never seen outside their shops …
