Ladies, What Do We Think Of This Dress?

[BlueBirdFly77]

I'm taking a trip to the Mid East and need something conservative. Finding it hard to come upon long sleeve maxi dresses and happened upon this one. Just looking for second opinions :) thx

Sorry but it looks like a dressing gown I’m afraid

Where exactly in the Middle East? Sorry, I do think it looks like a colourful dressing gown 😬

Must admit my first thought was dressing gown too - sorry op.

Whetr are you going exactly and is it for an occasion?

What's your budget?

Cheap and cheerful-

Sorry its giving glamorous granny dressing gown vibes.

It would work in the Middle East, but my first thought was Kirsty Alsop.

Dressing Gown vibes here also.

There might be shops you can get to (or online) that cater for the Middle Eastern/Turkish/Indian etc. communities, you might get something long sleeved and flowy that suits what you need?

Worth a look anyway. Someone might be able to direct you to suitable outlets.

I think it's a dressing gown

Whereabouts in the ME? There is a very wide range of countries covered by the ME and therefore a very wide range of "appropriate" clothing.

Horrid.

I love it!

I like it and think that it looks Middle Eastern.

M&S also has long sleeved midi/maxi tiered dresses.

I love it too!

Bright and colourful with a nice pattern on it, whilst also being covered up so no skin on show and decent coverage to not offend anywhere you go 👏

I thought of her too.

I think it's fine for what you need - as long as the fabric is very lightweight. You'll need something loose like that as you're not used to the heat.

It does look a bit like a dressing gown. It's ok, but seen better.

I'd go for Cabbages & Roses or Alemais or Pink City Prints

I think it's gorgeous

I also think it's gorgeous! Guess we're in the minority 😂

To those asking, I'm taking a trip to Saudi. So this dress is just for the purpose of being out and about whilst respecting the culture.

That's exactly what I thought too!

It’s the bow round the waist that makes it look like a dressing gown. If you can get rid of the ties and maybe have a buckle belt instead I think it could be nice.
I don’t mind the pattern

Oh I love this idea! Thanks! I think without the belt and some nice heels it could look quite glamourous.

Is it a business trip or holiday?
