Have I done the right thing buying this dress (I'm having a wobble...!!)

[mum2seb]

Well, I've been out shopping with my sister, and she wanted this dress, she tried it on and it didn't look too good on her. So I tried it on, and she told me to get it! To be honest, I quite like it, but dh has said that he doesn't really like it. Should I tell him to get stuffed? It IS shorter than I'm used to, but I've recently lost 4 stone, so that's no great surprise! I'm a size 10/ 12, and I run a lot, so my legs are ok now (god, I hate this!!). I thought I could wear it with colourful tights!

Do I keep it or take it back?

I really like it, though I do like the other belt rather than the one on it.

You like it, your sister likes it...

Noo, don't take it back!

at my overuse of "like"

i think it's really nice, well done for losing all the weight! Show your legs off - although I'd prob wear plain black tights rather than coloured ones (I'm kinda boring though!)

now, do tell how you lost the weight....

I think its nice, it is quite long to me

Congratulations on the weight loss.

I don't like it, sorry. I think it looks cheap and very 'teenage' - then again, I am far from a teenager, so what do I know?

I don't like animal prints, so I don't like it - but I like the shape and don't think it's too short.

not sure either.

I love a nice bit of animal print, but think animal print + short and clingy = Liz McDonald

speaking of which - rofflarama

I love this dress and bought it but my husband said the same thing. He too said animal print= her from corrie. If you are wobbling about it they do the same dress in plain black so maybe go for that.

If you are not sure about a dress with animal print then maybe swap it for the black one, and then wear it with coloured tights. With the plain black you can also wear necklaces/beads too whereas with the animal print would be too much.

I like it in the animal print to be honest. Keep it - it's cute!

PS - My DS shares a name with yours. You clearly have excellent taste all round!

Well done for the weight loss.

Sort or depends on your colouring. Nothing wrong with the lenght but the colour would wash me out.

Apparently most men don't like animal prints. Ignore him I think it looks stylish particularly if you have good pins, but keep it toned down with the accessories.

Keep it! Tone down what you wear with it though (i.e not red stilletos a la liz macdonald) I'd wear it with plain black opaques little black cardi, shoe boots...nice

Ha ha!! I haven't GOT red stillettos, and wouldn't get anywhere if I did!! I've never mastered anything above 1 1/2 inches high!! Flats for me, I'm afraid!
Lovelywalters - very boring, I'm afraid, Slimming World + lots of exercise (running, swimming, Pilates). The kids go to bed, and I pound the streets! I haven't watched TV in god knows how long now!!
Thanks for the link bishboschone, I think I might just go and check out the plain grey or black dress, then make my decision!

I like it BUT you can only get away with it if:

1. you are under 35 and
2. you are not busty.
