so, is this dress cool and relaxed in a funky sixties kind of way, or is it a sack?

vile

stubbyfingers · 15/07/2009 19:51

sack. It's even unflattering on the model.

Sibble · 15/07/2009 19:58

I like it but think there are very few people who could carry it off, me included.

pinktortoise · 16/07/2009 12:47

Well...I really like it! Look good with sandals and a long necklace. I would buy it ..if hadn't already spent too much this month..
Also fine in winter with leggings and ankle boots.
My only worry would be the crumpledness of linen.

You could not have norks and wear that.

Another vote for Primark sack, possibly from the £1 sale rail

mrsmaidamess · 16/07/2009 18:35

It would get rumpled just by looking at it

whyOwhy · 17/07/2009 16:20

OK, so have defied you all and got it, tho' v reduced in sale. It is actually bloody lovely! Much more fitting than it looks in the picture - I think maybe the model's one is just too big for her? And the shiny bit is hardly shiny at all, slight gleam is all. Hurrah (I think)!

(sits back & waits to be laughed at)

Ha ha HA ha Ha

what I meant to say was, different things look good on different people, and its always hard to tell whether clothes look nice from the photos, etc etc and such.

whyOwhy · 17/07/2009 19:39

oh, don't retract in nice-girl style, the ha ha ha reply was much funnier! I shall just bask in my conviction that am Avant Garde Style Queen even as people look pityingly at me in my crumpled bag.

I liked it even in the picture on the website - good for you!

KnickKnack · 17/07/2009 19:55

ok, what I really meant was Ha Ha ha ha everyone will be sniggering at your shiny sack as you walk down the street

whyOwhy · 17/07/2009 20:04

oh darlink I won't be walking, don't you know us avant garde style queens only go around in taxis, otherwise we'd get blisters from the six-inch heels and have to face the open derision of the populace.

My mistake
I'm so used to nipping out in limos (in my 9 inch heels), I forgot you 6-inchers used taxis

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 17/07/2009 20:11

It looks cheap, sorry.

The top bit looks nice if it was a separate but the bottom half looks cheap.

HotToastAndButter · 17/07/2009 22:33

its a but prisony
