I love this dress

[OracleInaCoracle]

here but do you think i should get it? im 31 and very petite with pale skin and auburn bobbed hair. would wear it with thick woolly tights, low boots and a grey cotton polo neck underneath. don't want to look like mutton. but thinking it would be pretty cool for uni

Like the shape.

But the design looks liek the Clothkits stuff I wore as a kid in the 70s.

NO NO NO don't it's so unsexy. Be sexy while you can - women are their sexiest at 32 you know.

So I am no longer sexy, Anna? Boo hoo

Hmmm
I'm sure you can find something better for £25.
You're a student? Full time?

it's cute.
i'm 31 and pale skinned, short but not petite.
i'd wear it.
especially for uni.

With your figure I'd wear it. I don't know what Anna would define as sexy. Anne Summers? Patent leather thigh highs?

It's cute.

I prefer the blue though. And don't put anything under it.

Have you seen it in real life? I was looking at them last week and although its nice you would have to be shortish to wear it as a dress imo - as it is quite short. I would have thought unless very young it is more of one for over leggings personally...but then I have 35 and don't have the legs to carry off short dresses!

I love it! And sassy did you know clothkits are back!

yes, but with leggings not tights

Yes, I did alice. But even back in the 70s, the adult designs were less daring than that! That's why I compared it to a child's dress (remembers my dungarees printed with red indians and totem poles)

I wasn't born until the 80's so perhaps i like them because never had to wear them as a kid!

I love that and I'd wear it (am older than you and ceratinly not petite).

oh! I got it yesterday!!! It's lovely. It comes up really really small though, I'm a 10 and the M/L was actually a close fit, but still comfy.

It's quite rough feeling material, soft but not smooth. it's mid thigh on me and I';m 5'7, well upper mid thigh - could get away with it though with woolly tights and I'm 35

Go for it. I took mine back as am poor atm and the colours were brighter than that picture - the yellow clashed a bit, I am fussy though I got it thinking they were £10 off in the shop but turns out they are still 25, I tried it on at home but decided it was a bit young for me and am poor atm so took it back.

HTH

You wouldn't easily fit jeans under it btw. Too figure hugging

I love it and it should look great on you I think.

I have found that buying and wearing things that I just love and feel are "me", is a much better bet than trying to achieve a particular look, IYSWIM. I agree it doesn't scream "sexy" but why should you want that anyway? It's quirky and cool, not sexy...

It's not brown btw, it's purple.

I've got the black and white one which is similar shape etc.. this one I'm 34 and not petite at all

tbh, i was looking at it today, lil sis pointed it out to me as a "lissie dress" i love the fact that its so quirky and not obviously sexy. im just under 5'2" with quite long legs, so will be nice length on me.

tillyscout, thats lovely! what do you wear it with?

thanks... black leggings or thick tights and a black polo underneath. Wear with shoe boots at the moment but think it'll look better with ballet flats when the weather warms up a bit

Mutton-tastic I'm afraid.

do you think bang? even with uber-thick tights and flat boots?

Don't listen! Not muttony at all. You're 31 not 65!

Its cute. Go for it!

I would wear it.
