to be worn over leggings

I think I love it but am getting cold feet for no good reason!

Honestly?

TrillianAstra · 20/03/2009 13:11

Don't think it's aprticularly 'SEXY!!' but it's a nice-lloking dress.

Lizzylou · 20/03/2009 13:12

Pretty, not sexy (why do they always do that?)
I wouldnt wear over leggings, personally.
But I do like it

sagacious · 20/03/2009 13:13

Erm its not really grabbing me

The arms are worrying me slightly [I have major ishoos with sleeves]

hereidrawtheline · 20/03/2009 13:13

hereidrawtheline · 20/03/2009 13:14

its not a great resounding yes though is it

and I cant make up my mind so must not be totally grabbed anyway

so shall probably pass it up

My first impression was that is was a bit drab. Sorry.

hereidrawtheline · 20/03/2009 13:15

sagacious what worries you about the arms? that the arm holes are so big your boobs would show?

it's ugly

hereidrawtheline · 20/03/2009 13:19

you dont have to say sorry, I asked you!

sigh. I just need a couple of dresses, to wear over leggings. and I have spent too much, I am not saying, just trust me, TOO much lately on clothes for myself. Actually if you want some voyeurism I could give you a list of what I have bought! But in my defence I have literally had nothing for as long as I can remember been living in one very very ill fitting pair of saggy jeans and a couple of boring tops and I have had enough. I was glam in my early 20's then it WENT now I am 30 and I want to be happy again with how I look. So I have made the effort.

But anyway what I am getting at is I bought one stinking dress to wear over leggings and it bloody got a hole it in. I want to get 2 more. You have all shown me some lovely ones but I am looking on ebay because I want to spend less to not feel more guilty over what I have already spent. But I hate auctions so only use buy it now on ebay. And I am struggling!

Its ugly, sorry. Have you looked in New Look or Dorothy Perkins? I'm sure you can do better than this ebay one.

mamas12 · 20/03/2009 13:42

I don't know how old you are but I think it's great for someone under 40 okay.
I like the 50's vibe going on with it and it would look good with leggings and then a matching white belt and beads and bangle/bracelet and or hairband.
Have fun wearing it. (you can tell what I do for a living)

rolledhedgehog · 20/03/2009 13:54

Atmosphere is Primark so it probably cost very little new and is of questionable quality.

MrsMattie · 20/03/2009 13:55

Quite nice, although not my style.

CharleeInSpring · 20/03/2009 14:00

Nay

mamas12 · 20/03/2009 14:19

Nothing wrong with primark! I wouldn't wear it because I am too old for it and the bows would be too twee for me. BUT if the op loves it I think it would be a fun dress to wear.

FigmentOfYourImagination · 20/03/2009 14:21

not sexy

very frumpy 1980's vicars wife

rolledhedgehog · 20/03/2009 14:29

Nothing wrong with Primark (except ethically) but you have to bear in mind where it comes from when you decide how much it is worth second hand.

hereidrawtheline · 20/03/2009 14:32

wow! ok. no! oh lord...

OP posts:
hereidrawtheline · 20/03/2009 14:33

I dont make all my decisions my committee!! LOL but am finding the dress search a bit bewildering! I will know it when I see it.

OP posts:
Curiousmama · 20/03/2009 14:35

Can you get to a primark? Just that it's going to be quite expensive with postage anyway.

hereidrawtheline · 20/03/2009 18:16

what about this one on ebay?

I will see where I can get to but this weekend is pretty busy! Will have to wait til next weekend. That's ok though!

OP posts:
hereidrawtheline · 20/03/2009 18:23

I like this but not with leggings

OP posts:
bigTillyMint · 20/03/2009 18:26
