I've ordered a dress I'm not sure about....

[VivaLeBeaver]

I think maybe its a love it or hate it dress

Is it ok? I'm normally a primark kind of person but I like the colours.

[Trills]

You'll know when you see it for real.

[VivaLeBeaver]

True, I'm having second thoughts about it now but at least I'm picking it up in store. I'll try it on while I'm there so I can sort out the refund straight away if I want to.

[Thurlow]

That's a 'need to see it on' dress. I'm not entirely sure, but then with some good sandals on a hot day it could look great. My only thing would be whether you'd get £100's worth of wear out of something so summery.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Yes, I haven't even got an "occasion" in mind for it. But at least if I like it it's the sort of thing you'd keep for ages without it dating.

[duckyfuzz]

Wish I hadn't looked, I love it!

[VivaLeBeaver]

Get it Ducky, it's a half price bargain!

[duckyfuzz]

Temptress!

[InkleWinkle]

I think it would only look good on a little petite person.

(Therefore not me for example!)

[VivaLeBeaver]

Im petite height wise.....not so much width wise.

Well at least people don't seem to think its awful so if it looks nice on ill keep it. I have no fashion sense most of the time and I look at some stuff I've bought and wonder what on earth I was thinking!

[Hassled]

I really like it - think it's lovely. I have too much of a tummy for such a dress, but assuming you don't have such issues then enjoy it - it looks versatile; I think you'd get good wear out of it.

[BellaVita]

I like it too!

Although I am a petite size 10, I have a slight wobbly tum though and would probably feel the need to wear holdy in pants.

[GobblersKnob]

God it's gorgeous, wish I hadn't looked too

Fingers crossed that it suits you, it's a great dress.

[AintNobodyHereButUsKittens]

I like it but the colours would scream at my skin - you'd need to see it on.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Oh I'll definitely need super strength hold in pants.

[VivaLeBeaver]

It'll be in store tomorrow to pick up, I'm excited!

[BellaVita]

Dress aside, how is that little doggy of yours? Settled in now?

[VivaLeBeaver]

He's a lot better thanks for asking. I think he is, dh isn't convinced. He's fine with everyone but still barks and growls at dh nearly constantly. But isn't biting him daily now which is good!

[BellaVita]

Aww sounds like progress has been made.

I feel so bloody broody

[BriansBrain]

It's lovely, no good for my pasty skin though!

[InkleWinkle]

It's beautiful colours.

Can you post a picture of it tomorrow?

[VivaLeBeaver]

I'll see if I can sort a photo out if I keep it.

I know it'll be too long as I'm 5ft2" so I'll have to get it altered if I keep it. It's hand wash only as well which is a pita.

[Saidar]

It's Zhu's Mrs!

The dress looks lovely! And you have sucked me into the Ralph Lauren sale!

[TreborMint]

I really like it but I'm a little concerned as there are quite a few other RL dresses that I love too!

[FaddyPeony]

I think I really like it, but it'll be interesting to see how it is on. I wonder does it need a brown skinny belt. Not sure.
I was looking at a vintage Swedish tablecloth on Etsy earlier, your dress reminds me a bit of it IN A GOOD WAY.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Well I'm sorry to say I didn't get it.

Tried it on and it looked nice but I didn't love it and don't honestly think I'd wear it a lot. Its too dressy for meeting friends in the pub, or going for a curry which seems to be most of my social events.

Plus because of the material there were quite a few loops on it which were already pulled and snagged and I could see that becoming a lot worse really quickly.
