I can't believe people actually get changed for the school run. This seems like an absolutely bonkers concept to me. And to look at some of the people who go to our local school, looks lke they havent changed for a week, let alone 5 mins beforehand

Mind you I have a toddler and haven't yet experienced the judgement of the school gate...

Think the concept is something you just chuck on over your bikini so no need to change at all; just get a bit more decent.

BALD - like the shape; Joules is very school run, darlink; it is tooooo pink for me though!

AliceTheCamelHasGotTheHump · 09/02/2009 08:10

Ooh I want that in Navy.

AnyFuckerForAShiteSoppyCard · 09/02/2009 08:14

I don't like that dress, not even for a hot summer school run.

Nontoxic · 09/02/2009 08:23

I think it's too unstrictured - reminds me of those cheesecloth ones everyone used to come home from Greece wearing.
I'm all for the odd frill or bit of lace trim, butit looks like they didn't know when to stop.
And my boobs andtum would look totally baggy in it.

helena99 · 09/02/2009 08:31

It would be off my list for an everyday dress because it's 'hand wash only'.

BonsoirAnna · 09/02/2009 08:34

Bloody hell. It's very frilly .

VictorianSqualor · 09/02/2009 08:34

I love it.
I'd wear it any day of the week.

onebatmother · 09/02/2009 09:45

It will make your breasts look enormous. Which may be a good or a bad thing; only you can say for sure.

bigTillyMint · 09/02/2009 10:31

If it'll make my boobies look enormous, I'll have 10

Hassled · 09/02/2009 10:36

I love it, but think it's for those with a very flat stomach - with my permanent bulge, I would just look even more pregnant than I usually do (I'm not). But if you're slim around the waist, it's gorgeous.

TrinityRhino · 09/02/2009 10:37

roffle
this is sooo funny

school run dress!!! pahh haaa haaa

tis a bloody gorgeous dress and definitely have the pink one

BUT

cheap??? er no it isn't

and shit I wear my pajamas to the school run if I haven't been able to find anyhting else

lol soo funny that we care so much about what other people think

Aefondkiss · 09/02/2009 10:42

I think the dress is okay but not sure about the frilliness around the norks... I think it would be fine if you have quite normal/smallish norks.

Lizzylou · 09/02/2009 10:45

Love it in Navy, go for it in pink if you can get away with it.

diatribe · 09/02/2009 10:49

and wots wrong with pjama top jeans and kag. exactly.?

andiem · 09/02/2009 10:50

is lovely definitely meets the criteria for school run dress

princessmel · 09/02/2009 10:50

I love it. Especially the navy.

zanz1bar · 09/02/2009 12:13

Oh No. weird shaped pink norks

mileniwmffalcon · 09/02/2009 12:22

unflattering and frumpy.

Not bad at all.

MrsSeanBeanIsEmployable · 09/02/2009 18:35

By the way it's lovely to see the slightly twee expression 'sun dress' in use again. I always thought this was the exclusive preserve of my mother - a hangover from the 70s!

LoveMyLapTop · 09/02/2009 18:35

Too pink and frilly for my taste
Find the school run dress concept bizarre tbh

saramoon · 09/02/2009 18:42

I love this dress too, but would go for navy. As for the school run thing, my eldest is starting school in september and i didn't realise i would be dressing up for taking her to school. I work so will be dropping her off in my work clothes i guess.

Pollyanna · 09/02/2009 18:43

have you got it yet? I think the norkular area is very odd - would make me look extremely saggy I think.
