i've got one and i quite like it. i wasn't sure about the elasticated bottom around the thighs bit at first but i really wanted a dress with royal blue on it and that was the only one i could find so i got it.

I LOVE bubble dresses, but like mine a little longer, don't think the hem cutting across the thighs looks that flattering.

I wear mine above the knee, but I'm only 5'3" so wear them with wedges or a heel, or boots in winter.

I have a few the were ordinary, fairly full skirted dresses transformed into bubbles by threading thin elastic through the hem.

All Saints is great for this shape - I love this and this and this

big fat nay

they were wrong in the 80's

they are wrong now

don't do it - or i will get pepsi and shirley on your ass

I ordered the pink ruffly one from Next - had no idea it had all the extra material. I look like a twat frankly.

It's not strictly a bubble - just has massive flap of extra material

in the model shot you can't see the extra material but in real life there's loads of it

Holy Moly! They are TERRIBLE!!!!

Actually I've got 2 now. I forgot I had this one. This is the royal blue one I mentioned before.

Turbomouth · 03/06/2009 10:06

Omg they are a fashion disaster! Who thinks up this crap

fanniiminogue · 03/06/2009 22:52

I also got this bubble hem top. Got it in white too.

I have one. It's a shiny purple dress. On my profile.

I like the hems straight across, rather than the up and down hems like the ones linked from AllSaints.

they looked sh*te in the '80s and they haven't improved with time.
