NER: What do you think of this dress?

?

Ignore the fact that the model needs to be wearing a better bra.?

Re: NER: What do you think of this dress?

  • cant. get past. the bad bra.

    Eh, I'm not super crazy about it.  I think with the proper bra there would be cleavage overload.  Though, I think it would work as like, a church dress or a casual work dress, maybe.

    I wouldn't dress this one up, though, because of the jumper-like cut at the top.  kwim?  For the same reason, I wouldn't wear this if I were someone who had a child-like face/someone who is constantly mistaken for a teenager.

  • Without the purple bow, it's ok.  Nothing special, but not bad either.

  • I like the dress. Notsomuch on the tights and shoes, though. :)

    ETA: Ooooh, I really like it in the second picture. :)

  • Can't see it, but I really want to!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I tried it on earlier. ?It's from Penelope Cruz's line for Mango. ?It looks a lot better on me than on the models, but I can't decide what I feel about it, so I thought I would ask for second opinions.

    Well, in that case, sign me up!  I need all the help I can get.

  • I like it but it seems more like a sun dress.  Second pic is much better than the second.  The tights are horrendous.

    teehee, well...you might need a really good bra in that case. Wink

  • Agreed -- could be cute if it were styled better.  definitely much better in the second pic.

    Black tights with a fall skirt and tall boots = good!

    Black tights with a summery dress = yuck.

  • On a side note: why would any company post a picture like the first one when trying to sell their product?
  • I think the maroon racing gloves are the critical accessory.  They MAKE the outfit.

    BWAHAHAHAHA?

  • It doesn't matter what I think of the dress.  The only thing that matters is .... what does Palin think of the dress? 
    And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
  • I like it. Was it a true black and white dress or did it have purplish undertones? IRL it might make more sense to have the purple bow, kwim?

     

    If you tried it on and are still unsure about it - I wouldn't get it. You could easily try something else on and think "bingo!" and I wouldn't want you to waste your $$ on the "i dunno" dress. 

     

  • I think it's super cutee minus the opaque tights.
    Slainte!

  • Well, besides the fact that the bad bra is completely distracting, I am still not crazy about it. The pattern is pretty  Eh... just nothing special about it.
  • I don't love it, but I don't hate it either.
