Ladies, Honest Opinions Of This Dress?

LaVieEnRose77 · 09/09/2024 21:25

So to start, I added a picture of a pair of shoes I own that I've been searching for a dress to pair with. I've since come across the dress shown in photo, and I imagine it to be a match made in heaven. I know it's kinda Barbie haha but I love the 1950s look. I would unbutton the dress more from the top so it isn't so Stepford wife though haha what do you ladies think? I'm also thinking it would be so cute for a maternity look (pregnant with a daughter). Just wanted some honest 2nd opinions so please feel free to share your thoughts with me!! <3

Personally I don't like it and find it cutesy but if you do then that's more important!

It looks like a dressing gown

HappierTimesAhead · 09/09/2024 21:30

I think a lot of people will say they don't like it but if you do then wear it!

HeySummerWhereAreYou · 09/09/2024 21:30

Utterly f**king hideous. Really Handmaids/Stepford Wives. Weird and ugly and horrible.

You did ask.

Mum2jenny · 09/09/2024 21:31

Looks like the wearer is a present, like tied up and wrapped with a ribbon and bow. Not my scene, sorry, but if you like it, just go for it.

MeowCatPleaseMeowBack · 09/09/2024 21:32

Little Bo Peep has lost her taste. Even the model looks embarrassed. I like your shoes though.

ChaChaChaChanges · 09/09/2024 21:32

Awful. Doesn't even go with the shoes.

Sorry.

Doubter2 · 09/09/2024 21:32

Hideous...I don't know who could carry it off. Maybe someone can! That bow at the front

LaVieEnRose77 · 09/09/2024 21:33

These responses are actually giving me a laugh (and holding me back from spending $) which I appreciate 🤣

Its giving dressing gown vibes

Viviennemary · 09/09/2024 21:33

I'm not keen. It look a bit like an old fashioned dressing gown type thing. Worn over a matching nightdress. But if you like it that's the main thing,

isrhisall · 09/09/2024 21:33

Sorry no. My face fell when I saw it. It definitely looks like a dressing gown. I think, it could work if you were curvy and busty though.

TulipTuesday · 09/09/2024 21:36

I’m afraid if you’re young enough to be pregnant, you’re too young for that outfit. Dress and shoes.

Lifelover16 · 09/09/2024 21:37

Looks a bit like a 1950s office tea lady to me.

SleepingisanArt · 09/09/2024 21:37

@isrhisall I am curvy and busy and wouldn't be seen dead in it! (Even Barbara Windsor in the carry on movies wouldn't be able to carry it off!)

stripybobblehat · 09/09/2024 21:38

No

StolenChanel · 09/09/2024 21:40

I don’t love the dress but think the right person could pull it off. Not with those shoes though. I’d wear it with heels.

NigelHarmansNewWife · 09/09/2024 21:41

The blue version is less 1950s diner waitress

Snoken · 09/09/2024 21:42

Turn the bow to the back and it’s a little cinderella on a tight budget having used blind mice to sew it. The sleeves are an odd length and width, the two tones of pink are too loud, the length cut you off in the wrong place. I’m struggling to envision this on anybody.

ManhattanPopcorn · 09/09/2024 21:43

Just no.

Capachoochoo · 09/09/2024 21:46

Dolores Umbridge called.....

EveryOtherNameTaken · 09/09/2024 21:50

Looks like something you'd wear breastfeeding. The shoes also look the wrong colour pink to match.

DillDanding · 09/09/2024 21:52

Revolting. Especially those gopping shoes.
