It's beautiful. Not sure if the arms are my taste but it really suits you x

HyggeTygge · 28/12/2019 18:08

Lovely except for the falling-down sleeves! I think it would raise questions about whether it was meant to be like that...

DrinkSangriaInThePark · 28/12/2019 18:09

Are those sleeves not supposed to rest on your shoulders, like cap sleeves?

Aquamarine1029 · 28/12/2019 18:09

I think the top is too low.

I love the off the shoulder sleeves, not a fan of the bling belt but overall I like it

HarrietSmith · 28/12/2019 18:09

It looks as if it's falling down because of the sleeve details. I'd either go strapless or have proper straps/sleeves. That is neither one thing nor the other.

Bodice, waist and skirt are beautiful but not too sure about the drapey straps - they look a bit like they are meant to be over shoulders and have slipped down.

I’ve seen many dresses this year with the hanging off shoulder sleeves by the way. 2019-2020 fashion. I love them

Primrosepenny · 28/12/2019 18:10

Beautiful but not the sleeves!

Kanga83 · 28/12/2019 18:12

I think the top is too low. The skirt and material are gorgeous though

Talkthirtytome · 28/12/2019 18:12

This is the model wearing it so that’s how it is meant to be worn x

It looks a bit droopy because of the sleeves. Pretty though.

Expressedways · 28/12/2019 18:13

The top looks like it’s falling down.

puds11 · 28/12/2019 18:14

Nope. Looks like the sleeves fell down.

twoturtledove · 28/12/2019 18:16

I actually really like it. Very elegant!

MrsBungle · 28/12/2019 18:16

It’s lovely but it looks too short on the body and it’s ‘dragging’ down. If it could be altered/made to fit properly then it’s lovely.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 28/12/2019 18:16

It's very pretty, but I think it looks like it needs to be hoisted up a bit. It looks like you have a lot of chest above the dress, and that your boobs start around your elbows. Is it a bit big?

Talkthirtytome · 28/12/2019 18:17

I only bought it off the rail today so I’m sure a seamstress should be able to alter it so it fits perfectly to me. Think the sleeves maybe need tightening slightly and the top taking in a little bit. Thank you ladies x

(I'm sure they don't! But that's where the cups in the dress look to be.)

Hooleywhipper · 28/12/2019 18:19

I think it’s beautiful, very classy.

Talkthirtytome · 28/12/2019 18:20

@PolkadotsAndMoonbeams last time I checked they weren’t that low down 😂 I think it maybe just needs taking in slightly to lift it a bit?

I would just lose the drippy sleeves , it would be much prettier like that!

ec1993 · 28/12/2019 18:22

I think it's beautiful! Really suits you! X

LuluJakey1 · 28/12/2019 18:24

Straps are awful but the rest is lovely.

PurpleBee39 · 28/12/2019 18:29

I think it is a really beautiful, classic style dress.
The main thing is do you love it? Do you feel good in it? If yes, go for it!
