ALL SAINTS POSEIDON DRESS!!!

[bobbiewickham]

Anyone got it?

Was delivered today - and I haven't got a clue how to put it on!

It makes no sense whatsoever, whichever way I try to wear it.

And I can't return it because I had to wash it before I'd even tried it on because my stupid dog weed on it.

Disaster.

Help!

you shouldn't ahve bought an origami dress

lol - I'm wondering how on earth you manage with really complicated items of clothing like sleepsuits with lots of poppers

it has eaten poor bobbie

Maybe I have no shame, but if I'd paid good non-refundable money for a nice dress that's what I would do. I have often perved over their parachute dresses, both instore and online, but fuck knows how one is supposed to put them on. If I had enough money to buy one, I would have enough front to ask.

I think you should phone them and tell them that the instructions were missing.

Is it called Poseidon because it's worn upside down? (like the film )

its only no refundable because she washed it

has she got stuck?

On my computer it seems to have some links that if you run over shows you it with neck drape up close. The middle one seems to show what you do basically -then you pull it forward and drape it..

I haven't got it but had similar thing (wrappy halter neck thing from maxmara no not got it but had similar thing (wrappy halter neck thing from maxmara that I eventually got so friggin sick of that I gave away).

mom, what difference does it make why the money is non-refundable? She's stuck with it, therefore the options are find a way to wear it or stick it on ebay.

I'm amazed that people find the idea of asking shop staff so objectionable.

all saints looks like the left overs after a nuclear disaster imo

bobbie its mingings
and its £££

Hi, sorry, ds needed a story!

I've tried pulling the drapey thing forward, but there's just too much material, and it looks crap.

It also looks amazingly, knicker-revealingly short when you wear it like that.

I wondered if it had shrunk, but I don't think so - I handwashed it in very cool water, and it appears to be the same length as before.

And the secondary armholes are a bit armpit/side of boob revealing.

Dare I send it back and Not Mention The Wee?

very true cyteen

MrsShu - i don' like it either but each to their own

I would send it back

You cant post on here every time you want to get dressed. Bung a bit of tissue paper in it

I love the dress in theory, MrsShu.

Just crap in practice.

I know, it was very £££ - I bought it half thinking I would send it back.

Then the fucking labradoodle wazzed on it.

Definately. There was no wee and you haven't got a dog. Dresses that expensive shouldn't be like the Krypton Factor. Send it back.

I'm following this thread with fascination.

Bobbiewickham - you'd better come back and tell us how it's going.

do you know any engineers?

Gah! Late and missd update.

Course you can send it back. all sorts of things happen in the post. If anyone rings you and asks if you/animal weed on it - be affronted!

But are you sure it's not just buyer's remorse?

Try it on tomorrow with leggings, maybe?

i think if you can get it the right way round then the furthest back holes are the arm holes

No remorse here! I would wear it with leggings or even skinnnies.

If I could get the bitch on.

ah cross-posted

But the armholes are vertical - that's what's weird. You seriously can't get your arms through both holes without nearly killing yourself.

I think it might be going back...I might say I couldn't get it on and it smelt a bit of wee....

send it back. i love it so but how can it possibly be flattering? the most lovely fabric.

there's one on ebay, but with no picture (wonder why )

maybe you could ask her how it works

The print is completely gorgeous isn't it?

I even pondered the possibility of taking it to a dressmaker and getting it remodelled, but at that price, should you have to?
