I don't like it, brown, shiny... it is effortless, but not in a good way.

What would you like cornsilk?

Do you want silk?

Colour preferences?

Is it to be worn to lots of parties?

cornsilkwearscorsets · 18/11/2009 19:25

I don't really like silk I suppose. I don't know what I want really. Yes for parties.

I think silk is very hard to wear. It creases and it clings.

Sorry no

Louby3000 · 18/11/2009 19:26

How old are you. Looks a bit boring TBH

CybilLiberty · 18/11/2009 19:27

I like the way Princess said LOVELY without a link.

Sorry corny but I think its a bit frumperooney. Too shiney and brown.

No one wears brown to a party

I bet you wish I'd stayed away now don;t you?

wonderingwondering · 18/11/2009 19:28

I like it....

With chunky necklace and bangle, could look very nice. Though the cut would have to be spot-on, that silky fabric won't be very forgiving. Although just noticed it says silk jersey, which has a bit more give. I have several DvF silk jersey dresses and they look very good on (if I do say so myself), less promising on the hanger.

Buy buy buy....

myalias · 18/11/2009 19:28

Brown will always be boring sorry!

ahundredtimes · 18/11/2009 19:30

Oh I think it's okay. And I also think it'll look surprisingly wonderful on because those D v F dresses do.

I don't think it's so frumpy, perhaps a little boring, but maybe you need a good-looking, sedate dress? Depends what it's for.

ahundredtimes · 18/11/2009 19:31

Oh x post with wondering wondering

you see cornsilk, those in the D v F know are being encouraging

cornsilkwearscorsets · 18/11/2009 19:32

I am glad I posted as I was at the verge of ordering it and have saved the £8 postage! I want something for xmas parties. Have one this weekend but prob won't find anything in time now.

wondering wondering you like it? (hopeful)

OP posts:
cornsilkwearscorsets · 18/11/2009 19:33

I am tempted to order now. The postage is £8.Anyone got a code?

OP posts:
cornsilkwearscorsets · 18/11/2009 19:34

I like brown as well. It's not really brown it's more bronze...

OP posts:
ahundredtimes · 18/11/2009 19:34

I thought the back of it was nice too, v. good cut.

ahundredtimes · 18/11/2009 19:35

I like brown as well, and a bronzy brown, well . .

cornsilkwearscorsets · 18/11/2009 19:37

yes I liked the back! Now I am tempted again....

ahundredtimes · 18/11/2009 19:39

Yeah. Let's go and have another look at it, then we'll think about it over tea while we rest our feet. Then we'll decide.

You see. You see how I'm being your best friend on this thread? Wonderingwondering wandered in with her high falutin talk of chunky bangles and then disappeared. I'm steady, me.

Right going to do that zoom in thing
