If you have and you're a size 10-12 can you take a headless photo of you wearing it so I can see how it would fit?

I can't decide if this will be sympathetic to a mid-life body

It looks terribly unflattering!

GatherlyGal · 18/10/2024 14:37

Sorry OP but it looks like a dress with added stuffing around the waist and I'm not sure why you would do that??

I can't imagine it being sympathetic to my size 6 teenager never mind a mid-life body.

It looks like something Nurse Ratchett might wear on a night out.

pictoosh · 18/10/2024 14:59

It's not even nice on the model, come on.

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 18/10/2024 15:04

It looks like the overall I had to wear for school science lessons. Except the overall looked better.

Plump82 · 18/10/2024 15:05

If it looks that awful on the model, it's going to look even worse on the average Joe!

sonsmum · 18/10/2024 16:05

That dress is worse than wearing a bin bag. I don't see it being flattering to any body shape. Literally everything is hideous about it!

Amyknows · 18/10/2024 16:05

Sorry op, this is hideous. You are literally throwing money away buying this dress

geordio · 18/10/2024 16:08

It's better in brown or the belted version.

ThornVampire · 18/10/2024 16:09

christ thats horrible

I was thinking straight jacket!

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 18/10/2024 16:21

Nothing on that website looks flattering TBH - none of it seems to fit properly. I'm not advocating bodycon or anything but surely some part of your outfit should fit? Eg loose dress fitted at shoulder: baggy top with fitted trousers; wide trousers with fitted top etc

GinForBreakfast · 18/10/2024 17:31

It looks like something they would make female gulag prisoners wear.

Bulkypeepants · 18/10/2024 18:49

Why is everything so shapeless on that site? Most of the clothes look awful, even on the model!

henlake7 · 18/10/2024 19:33

Interesting site....most of the clothes look like something you'd wear when having a fat day and you really can't be bothered!

Dazeandconfuse · 18/10/2024 19:44

Notwithstanding how unflattering that dress is, I'd avoid Olive altogether.

I bought a gingham skirt from there a few months ago - I think it was around £50 - and it looked like something an amateur would have run up on their sewing machine. No pattern matching across seams, unlined, no pockets, loose threads. It was trash. Shein with better marketing.

Moveoverdarlin · 18/10/2024 19:45

Good grief it looks bloody awful on the model.

Moveoverdarlin · 18/10/2024 19:48

It’s like a cross between a hospital gown with easy access to your nether regions and a hairdresser’s gown.

scatters2004 · 18/10/2024 19:54

Sorry, but someone would have to pay me to wear that dress,

It's awful.

lemonlavendar · 18/10/2024 19:58

Of all the dresses in the world you chose this...

Olive runs fairly true to size I'd say. Beautiful quality as well.

Dinosaurlover · 18/10/2024 20:10

Anyone up for a game of 'What's their most unflattering dress' 😂

I'm not sure I even know where to begin. They make oodies look flattering.

Melroses · 18/10/2024 20:14

I have a nightdress like that 😬

Stormyweatheroutthere · 18/10/2024 20:14

If you're going for the trendy Inspector Gadget look go for it op....
