Des this dress look like a nightie?

[Redfox]

I purchased the below ghost dress but not sure ( tags still on)
I like the colour and Victorian vibe plus it's 100% cotton.
But I do have a waist and the dress doesn't!
I am thinking it will look ok once ironed, and with laced up boots... 😆 Thoughts welcome..

No. It doesn't look like a nighty

It doesn’t look like a nightie but it does look a bit big for you compared to how it fits the model.

Yeah it absolutely swamps you!

Um it’s a little Victorian nightgown-like. And it does absolutely nothing for you.

Love the colour and victoriana esq feel, but yes, does look like a victoriana nightie rather 😆. Could a broad belt work or would it look weird?
I mean, it looks fine, I just prefer more fitted styles myself. Seems a waste of a good waist!

Tis a bit Amish on you but only because its too big.

I think it does look a bit like a very old fashioned nightie. It just looks like a very unflattering dress, sorry OP!

It does nothing for you at all. I'd return it for something that fits and looks better on you.

Yes it kind of does! But if you like it and you're happy with the way you style it that's what counts. It does look oversized on you.

You have a great figure and that dress was made to hide it.

It would be fine if you were an eastern european peasant in the early 1900s

Yep, it does

Yes it does, or summer kaftan type thing. Not a dress for winter and it's huge on you.

It’s not showing you in your best light.

I like it. With the right pair of boots it, I think it would look great.

*please note I do not know fashion trends

Get it in a smaller size or return.

Sorry but it looks like a sack, it's the most unflattering cut and length.

I like it! Agree about the boots.

It takes a bit of eye adjustment to get used to dresses not being 'form fitting' but why the hell should they be? Everyone knows you've got a body under there, it's clear you're quite slim, and I bet it feels really nice when you move.

Half of S&B would only be happy if women always wore nice little suits with a nipped-in waist 😉

It's horrible. You deserve better. I say that as someone who wears dresses without waists despite also having a waist. I think the high-neck and no-waist combination is punishing.

Yes. A 1970s granny nightie.

It looks awful (sorry), it’s also not very flattering

Very unflattering. Sends off workhouse vibes.

Not the point of the thread but I love your door coat hanger!!

No. But it's at LEAST 2 sizes too big

It's not meant to be tight and show your waist, though. I like it.
