I think its a nice summer dress- would look lovely with a tan!

It's a lovely dress. Personally, I'm not a fan of the big junky jewelly sequiny things but they can be removed if you really want.

Looks like something that someone would make up for a toga party. Not a fan.

Oh I was just about to say I really really liked it & then you said that and now I don't know anymore!!

Edit- just saw it's available in a coral colour too, might make it look lass toga-ey, yet still have the same style/shape??

Personally, it wouldn't be something I'd wear. But you are gonna get people who love it, and people who hate it. All that matters is how you feel in it. If you like it, wear it and don't let other people sway your decision.

Flip ya OP, I never heard of that site before and now I'm after finding a dress I think I might just have to buy!

So therefore I propose you also buy that dress you posted about- if it's something you think you'd like, I say go for it! (I'm not trying to make myself feel better about wanting to buy the dress I like, I swear...)

That's what I was gonna say

Personally I think you could find a nicer dress for that price, it doesn't look worth that money at all.

krankykitty · 15-07-2010 6:58am

The front looks quite nice, but the back, there's something odd looking going on there

Joan Fontaine · 15-07-2010 12:41pm

it all depends on your size and also how old you are. I'm late twenties and i wouldn't consider wearing this, whereas I probably would've 10 years ago. Tan is a must if you do go for it.

But as others say, it's up to whether you'll feel comfortable in it. that's the main thing.

I like the shape of the dress but i don't think the gold part of the dress is nice, i also think that it is overpriced and it doesn't look good quailty.

christina_x · 15-07-2010 3:41pm

hmm... i think its a lovely dress, but i dont know.. its nice to look at, just don't think anybody could actually get away with wearing it if you get me?

ncmc · 15-07-2010 3:58pm

I think the style of the dress is nice, and I quite like the gold detail on it, but when you look at the back of it, it looks like it's sitting really funny on the manaquin. It doesn't look like it's great quality. Bear in mind that with the current exchange rate, that dress will cost you approx €60 and that's before you add in any delivery costs.

I personally wouldn't spend that much on something online unless I knew the show and was sure of the quality. I'm sure you could get something similar for that price here in Ireland.

Agree with the other posters especially about the back, can't zoom in but it looks to be elasticated which looks daft with the style of dress. I say keep searching! For £50 plus, you'd get something much nicer, plenty of sales online and instore.

Yep it's elasticated and very see through cos I can see the label and I don't even have me glasses on to see summit that small!

I have to say it looks of very poop quality to me, give it the other shoulder strap, make the jewels smaller, thicken the fabric and lower the price and maybe, as said tho personal taste rules so if you like it go for it OP.
