Would it be suitable for a 007 themed party?

(please say yes so I can buy it hehe)

yes very 007 60s vamp! buy it!

PacificMistletoeandnoWine · 03/12/2009 11:21

Reasons not to buy:

You'd struggle finding appropriate underwear

You'd be cold

Everybody would be looking at you

Buy it, it is gorge, and unusual!

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 03/12/2009 11:23

It's 95% polyester. hmm.

I'll need to order it - just so I can see what it's like - I can always return it....hmmmmm

Oh I am a 34c so can just about get away without a bra!

Without being in the least bit catty, unless you are 1) extremely tall and willowy or 2) size and shape of Kylie Minogue do not buy it. It is lovely though.

oooh

This bag would be fab with it - I love the clever adjustable strap

Hmm, I'm not keen. It's a bit shapeless, like a toga. I prefer fitted dresses myself that accentuate a woman's shape. This could be a curtain that you dragged down and draped over yourself.

I AM meant to be putting you off - right?

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 03/12/2009 11:27

I'm 5'7 size 10/12 34inch leg and have dark brown hair in a bob with sweeping fringe. Will it suit me?

yes it would suit you, it would look fabulous I think
(shame about the poly but might be ok).

orangina · 03/12/2009 11:37

Love it. Also love this one though....

here

mazzystartled · 03/12/2009 11:39

tall, leggy, slim and young (enough)

you will look divine

so long as te fabric is nice enough

orangina · 03/12/2009 11:41

Order them both. Or not.

(sits on fence)

Georgimama · 03/12/2009 11:44

"I'm 5'7 size 10/12 34inch leg and have dark brown hair in a bob with sweeping fringe. Will it suit me?"

In that case yes.

PacificMistletoeandnoWine · 03/12/2009 11:47

Personally I think you should wear a burka made of sackcloth

PacificMistletoeandnoWine · 03/12/2009 11:48

Did I say that out loud??

You will look fabulous - provided the material is half decent in RL.
Go for it!

TigerFeet · 03/12/2009 11:50

no i wouldn't buy it, but then i am a size 18 pear shape with huge norks so it would look like i had draped myself in a shower curtain

i rather like the purple version

that said, there is a lot of purple around atm

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 03/12/2009 11:51

oooooh um ah is it nicer in purple?
