Looks quite short - I could only wear it over leggings jeans ...

FlorenceAndtheWashingMachine · 10/06/2009 16:33

Too short for me too - looks like it would be more like a top on me!

JackieNo · 10/06/2009 17:05

It's made of viscose and elastane - won't it make you sweaty ? So from that point of view, I'd say not the school run dress. Shape's nice though, for those with good legs.

ReginaCovington · 10/06/2009 17:10

i thought viscose is a good thing for sweat? natural made out of nuts or summat.

No Sweat

Nylon and polyester do not absorb water, and because your sweat cannot evaporate they can be unpleasant to wear. This is why nylon feels clammy. Sheets made from 100% cotton, linen or even silk (should you be so lucky) are more comfortable than nylon sheets because your sweat is absorbed by the fabric, and then evaporates. It is this absorbency which makes viscose so comfortable to wear.

It comes in 4 colours...

TheDevilWearsPenneys · 10/06/2009 17:13

It looks like a shoddy copy of the chloe dress a few of us have.

Lizzylou · 10/06/2009 17:14

OOH, it's really nice.
Love the purple.

ReginaCovington · 10/06/2009 17:15

Well yes, I like viscose, but I didn't think you got on with it. Sorry - must have been someone else.

ReginaCovington · 10/06/2009 17:17

this is the bad boy.

it's amazing. Works with heels or with flats for 'school run' (snurk)

FenellaFudge · 10/06/2009 17:19

have you a little club TDWP?

MacaroonIncident · 10/06/2009 17:20

club?

Fimbo · 10/06/2009 17:22

Yikes, just as well you can see on the model that Chloe dress is short. On its own it reminds me of dresses my gran use to wear or something HRH would.

Reg's is better

MacaroonIncident · 10/06/2009 17:22

i am MI now.

MacaroonIncident · 10/06/2009 17:23

or maybe i should be reg
i like the idea of reg

FenellaFudge · 10/06/2009 17:24

"It looks like a shoddy copy of the chloe dress a few of us have"

Just sounded like an elite gathering, like gals at the pony club

MacaroonIncident · 10/06/2009 17:24

LOl

reg was taken.

TheDevilWearsPenneys · 10/06/2009 17:24

Club? Indeed.

It's not that short, it's nicely short and very 'not trying too hard'

TheDevilWearsPenneys · 10/06/2009 17:25

A few of 'us' meaning mumsnetters, there was a frock enabler thread recently and many owned up to buying it.
