I am afraid it reminds me of 1980's bedsheets that my mum had.

I don't like it but on the right person I can imagine it would look really good in a sort of quirky, retro kind of way.

Flamesparrow · 12/02/2009 19:40

Looks like you would look pregnant in it (sorry)

samsonara · 12/02/2009 19:41

I like it , I think the cut would be flattering on and some pick accessories to pick up the colour in the dress and some opaque tights and heels maybe would make a nice outfit imo.

flowerybeanbag · 12/02/2009 19:41

Hope you have a fab time. I agree it looks like 1980's bedlinen, but hey, what do I know?!

samsonara · 12/02/2009 19:41

pink that is not pick

SalBySea · 12/02/2009 19:42

I really like it, it's different but not too outlandish

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 12/02/2009 19:43

On me it would look like I bought it the first time round in the 80's

Lovely dress though.

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 12/02/2009 19:44

Fab cut and style. I think with the right attitude you could definitely pull it off.

Its not often i find sommething i really like so get a bit over excited when I do.
Am hoping it will look a bit 'Fern Cottonesque'!!!
Fancy myself as an agingrock chick!

Iove it!!

TheCrackFox · 12/02/2009 20:06

Hate the dress but love Marmite.

MrsMattie · 12/02/2009 20:07

Not my cuppa, but can imagine it looking nice on someone younger and slimmer than me!

Sidge · 12/02/2009 20:42

I imagine it's very unforgiving. It would cling to all my lumpy bits. But if you have no lumpy bits and are young enough that you didn't wear stuff like that first time round I imagine it'll look just fine

SoupDragon · 12/02/2009 20:46

It looks like the seamstress was p*ssed.

JackieNo · 12/02/2009 20:48

I like it, and I suspect, with all the gathering etc, it might be more forgiving than you might think.

Heated · 12/02/2009 20:55

I like it, and it looks like nothing I wore in the 80s!
