It was reduced to £40, then back to £50 and now £30, so i'm wondering if anyone likes it, I like the style but not the pattern. here

Where are you thinking of wearing it?

not really very 'me'

Dramatic though.

Looks v unflattering TBH.

GoldFrankincenseandMerlin · 15/12/2008 16:41

mmmm - agree style is great but the pattern ...... oh no, would have gone down well at my 70's party at the weekend!!!!

rolandbrowning · 15/12/2008 16:42

I think I like it. I like the price!

rolandbrowning · 15/12/2008 16:43

It did make me think of Abigail's Party though.

islandofsodor · 15/12/2008 16:44

Urgh, it gives me a headache looking at it.

twinsetiscrapatflouncing · 15/12/2008 16:45

I am quite a flamboyant dresser and really want to like it but I dont sorry

TsarHumbug · 15/12/2008 16:46

Do you have to stand like that in it?

jooseyfruit · 15/12/2008 16:47

looks like something Margot Leadbetter would wear.
not good.

TsarHumbug · 15/12/2008 16:49

There's a touch of sixties StarTrek look about that model in it. (The one where they visit the planet and all the women are suspiciously young and beautiful )

Neeerly3 · 15/12/2008 16:52

are you tall? would only work if you were tall and had a history of wearing similarly 'loud' clothes.....other wise, not top of my shopping list no.....

twinsetiscrapatflouncing · 15/12/2008 16:53

Joosey there is something Margot Leadbetter about me which is why I want to like it,

BroccoliSpears · 15/12/2008 16:55

The shoulder scarf makes it horrid.

WinkyWinkola · 15/12/2008 16:56

It's rank.

jooseyfruit · 15/12/2008 16:56

it looks like peacock vomit.

kd73 · 15/12/2008 16:59

Hmm... it looks a bit like the perfect outfit for a dodgy 70's porno

kd73 · 15/12/2008 17:00

Not that I would know of course!

I was looking for an outfit for an evening pre wedding cocktail evening for a friend's wedding. I don't know, there's something a bit wrong about this dress I do agree with what you've all said as I like it and hate it at the same time. I'm almost pressing buy but them stopping myself...

there is often a reason that a £100 dress is reduced to £30.

This time it is because nobody bought this dress.

It is very ugly

Sazisi · 15/12/2008 17:24

It is ugly.

Sazisi · 15/12/2008 17:24

I meant is

OsmosisFaLaLaLaLa · 15/12/2008 17:28

I think it is quite terrifying

Lulumama · 15/12/2008 17:28

i would wear it if i were much taller and thinner

I don't like it now. But it's annoying me now. I think I like the purple blue and jade colours in it but definately not the mixy swirls that's probably what is confusing me, but Neeerly3, I think you are right, I wouldn't be able to carry it off, even with heels even as am only 5'4.
