Husband thinks this looks like a nun's habit

[TheBossofMe]

Need your opinion on this dress - for work wear at ad agency. Husband thinks it's awful, I think it's nice! Would you, or not?

sorry agree with your hubby.

No no no

so sorry

I wanted to say something positive!!

Have you looked at th Toast sale if you need a work dress?

sorry, it kind of does

Your DH is right. Sorry.

you could wear a ruff and work the alter boy look

altar boy not alter boy

Damn. I hate it when he's right! Thanks, ladies!

it really does.
your hubby is right.
wsorry.

I think it is a bit like something Hattie Jaques would have worn. More matronly.

I can see why it would appeal, it looks smart and it would be easy and comfortable to wear, because it has long sleeves, it isn't tight fitting or restrictive - which office clothes always seem to be.

If you were very petite/slender (norkless), then you might get away with it in a sort of quirky Audrey Tatou kind of way?

blimey. it does rather look like you might start singing about mountains. it would probably be ok in another colour combination.

I wouldn't, I'm afraid.

buy two of these instead and some things to go under them?

Agree with cranreuch. If you're flatchested and wear it with really high heels it could look quite cool. If you have big boobs or are a bit fat it will be a sack. But if your dh hates it, might as well buy something else really.

Looks like a cut down version of the gear they wore at my convent school (?Augustinians? hated it!) but mind you claudia winkleman does wear stuff vaguely reminiscent of that (?why) and gets away with it.
