Will this dress be itchy?

Really like this dress www.oasis-stores.com/fcp/product/Oasis//Cable-Babydoll-Dress/3660017501?colour=black# but will it be itchy as it seems like a funny mix of fibres?

7% angora, 35% Cotton, 33% Nylon, Rayon 25% plus it's hand wash only and with a new baby on the way, do I really want that??

Should I be more sensible and go for this instead? :

no itch from cotton, nylon or rayon (another name for viscose), depends whether you're sensitive to angora, really, people differ.

Hmmm...I usually am a little, but wondering if because it is such a small amount I will be ok...

Sorry to hijack your thread OP, but I have the same question about this dress. I really like it, but not sure about the comfort factor.

Not sure about itchiness, but I have something similar from Oasis from last year and I love it. Easy to dress up or down, very comfy and even a bit sexy too - buy it! (I'd go for the cowl neck one personally...)

stakethroughtheheartofgold · 20/10/2009 19:22

how are your boobs? bigger i'd go for the scoop, smaller the cowl. colour choices better in the scoop though.

My boobs are very nice thank you stakethroughtheheart

No seriously, they are quite large but as I am otherwise slim and tall in proportion so I can get away with either style imho.

I am just so fussy sensitive to anything remotely itchy. I walk round shops at rubbing the material of things on my cheeks to check for irritation!

MichKit love that dress and agree that it will be lined and not at all irritating.

I never actually hand wash anything at all - just put it in at 30o zipped into a laundry bag for delicates. So wouldn't worry about that, personally.

Thanks, will go and try it on tomorrow Its fully sequined but doesn't look over the top, iyswim! And its a gorgeous colour.

OP, the second dress kind of cute but I do like the neckline on the first!

How do you wash sequinned dresses by the way? Apparently they can't be dry cleaned?

Roman thanks, I'll give that a go - especially as I've got a new washing machine coming tomorrow with a 'delicates' cycle

MichKit I'm not sure, I'd imagine it'd be handwash...

Michkit I don't think you wash them at all - just wipe off any marks and hang up to air. The idea is presumably that you don't wear them often.

i like the cowl neck one, might get it myself but never can find a nice wine or rusty orange....
