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 ...'

I know what it needs..
A match.

There’s quite a lot of this kind of cottage core around atm it’s hardly outré.

WheresMySupportCat · 05/09/2024 19:35

If I were tall, thin, had a bit of a blonde scandi vibe about me and it lost the black thingies, I'd buy it.

But I am a person who once saw bright red suede puss in boots, boots and thought that would be just right to pair with a black pleather skirt and top combo to a very important AGM where I was presenting something or other. Can't even remember what my powerpoint was about because all I could see were the horrified glances of the attendees.

I love that Monsoon dress!

Well, the style of it, I don't like or wear black, but if they had it in pink, aqua/pale green or pale blue I'd definitely buy it.

Winederlust · 05/09/2024 19:40

No it's not the worst by any stretch. I actually quite like it and it's certainly nicer than 90% of the crap UO usually sells.

LightSpeeds · 05/09/2024 19:51

I'd wear it (but I'd take the bows off) 😬

theworldie · 05/09/2024 19:58

Well, it’s certainly not the WORST dress ever

I like it a lot mid 50s here. Not even close to a contender of worst dress

Blimey. @theworldie is middle lady waving or saying oh god no don't take my picture! 🙃

I would like to be able to answer your question and claim those as from my own wedding, having forced my dsis’s and SIL to wear such atrocities so that I myself looked extra stunning.

But in reality I just googled “worst dresses ever”. (and I’m sure the dresses my bridesmaids wore will look equally tacky in 30 years time)

Prettybubblesintheair · 05/09/2024 15:14

I actually love it!

I like it. Anthropologie stock it as well.

It's nowhere near "the worst dress ever". There's been utter horrors on here on wedding guest threads- that's not one of them.

IsadoraQuagmire · 05/09/2024 20:25

I like it, apart from the black (I don't like anything black) If the bows were red it would be nicer.

Good tactic 😁

Christ!

MaidOfAle · 05/09/2024 22:28

It could possibly have worked if the bows were the same pinkish-red as is in the check pattern. But in black, just no.

ETA: the red bows from the blue dress would have worked. Mixup at the factory?

notprincehamlet · 05/09/2024 22:31

The bows look like somewhere in the production line a decimal point in the wrong place happened

notprincehamlet · 05/09/2024 22:41

Is it worse than this though?
Yikes that looks like it should be adorning a spare toilet roll in a 70s bathroom

CantBelieveNaive · 05/09/2024 22:44

2 top bows and it would be fine although looks a bit Vivienne Westwood rip off!!? 😜

haplessharpy · 05/09/2024 22:46

I fucking love it and as of three days ago have it. I wore it today with DM Jadons and a white cropped broderie cut out denim jacket. I offset the black laces with punk jewellery. It's amazing.

Lifeomars · 05/09/2024 22:50

It's bad but I have seen way worse

StarDolphins · 05/09/2024 22:55

I like it! In some of the threads on here, there’s much worse in my opinion!
