Fashionistas- yes or no?

[LaraMN]

My husband says "no" (he hates the print), I say "yes".
I need dresses. It's almost spring. I'm wavering on this one:

[MrCoffee]

1. Yes...so he can identify you by braille.

[LaraMN]

3. Hey!

Your "fashionista" status is hereby revoked!

:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. In my opinion, the answer is a resounding no. Looks like something from the 50s,

and more like an apron than a dress.

[LaraMN]

4. Y'know,

there IS something a bit apron-like about it, isn't there?

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Above the waist, it looks like an ad for Morse code

Below the waist, it's like watching bowling in sequential photography.

[skypilot]

6. Depends on the shoes.

It could work.

[huskerlaw]

7. I'm not really a fan

of having polka-dots on my boobs.

It would be a cute skirt, but the halter part is a bit much.

[trof]

8. No. Way too busy.

[LaraMN]

9. Okay- what about this one:

My husband likes it, but I think maybe it's too much white:

[GCP]

10. Put a nice red belt around the waist

It would look good

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear lara!

I like this one better...

It's very white, but you can spark it up with some colorful jewelry, or scarves or something like that!

You do well with colors...

:hi:

[LaraMN]

12. Yeah- I suppose it could be accessorized with color.

I just don't want to look bridal.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. I hear ya!

But this dress does not look bridal!

[Flaxbee]

39. I agree with CP: for summer, this white dress would look good with leather

accessories (belt, sandals - but it should be darker brown leather, not light tan) and/or colorful jewelry: think a strand of semi-precious stones, or more 'ethnic' jewelry. Actually, I like the cut of the halter/polka dot dress better, but the print is rather dizzying, so if you had to choose between the two, go for the all-white one.

Where are you looking?

[huskerlaw]

17. Hmmmm

I think it's a bit too white. Especially when combined with that skin color that occurs after one has spent a winter in the Upper Midwest.

Plus, if you're anything like me, the stain potential is way too high.

It's a cute dress though, does it come in any other colors?

[LaraMN]

24. Ha! On the plus side, it might make me look dark!

Or not.

:scared:

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Much better!

Splatter some paint on it.



:P

[LeftyMom]

13. It kinda screams 50's suburban block party.

:shrug:

[LaraMN]

16. Oh, that is NOT what I want to scream, in a dress!

:rofl:

[Parche]

14. I Will Get You A Michele Bachmann Dress!!

:woohoo::woohoo:
:rofl: :rofl:
:hi:

[LaraMN]

18. Omg NOOO!

I think I'm gonna be sick!

[LeftyMom]

26. Holy crap- who knew they still made polyester double knit?

And the print! :puke:

She's not old enough to look like she raided Babs Bush's closet, jewelry box and store of Inner Evil.

[GCP]

15. The line of dots up the boobs is really nasty

[LaraMN]

21. I didn't really even notice that!

:rofl:

See- this is why getting a second opinion is always a good idea!

[NMDemDist2]

40. ROFL, that was the first thing I noticed too

and I'm an old hetro female

:rofl:

[DS1]

20. That would really match the kitchen sink

what with all the bubbles

[LaraMN]

23. Fortunately, I'm never near a sink!

:P

Don't I wish...

[Iggo]

25. That is one helluva plunging neckline.

I gotta say "Yes."

[harmonicon]

27. I think it looks nice NT

[youthere]

28. So what does it say in Morse Code? I'm thinking you should pass.

That's one of those dresses that in about two years you'll see a picture of yourself in and go "What was I thinking?"

[spinbaby]

29. ACK!

NO!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

30. Yummm... Dots!

[EstimatedProphet]

31. No. Here's why:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

32. Kinda dotty for my taste.

But then again, I'm like the antithesis of a fashionista, so.....

:rofl:

[unpossibles]

33. almost

I like parts of it, but not the top of it so much.

[applegrove]

34. I could very well be out of the fashionista loop but I would say no to

that.

[Ellen Forradalom]

35. Can't really say with no context

I have no idea what might suit you body- and personality-wise, nor do I have any notion as to how you'd accessorize it.

[BreweryYardRat]

36. Speaking as a bisexual guy...

That is HIDEOUS. You can find something better.

[Ava]

37. i don't like the big dots

but i love the cut and style.

that is just me personally though. if you like it then that is all that matters! :hi:

[RetroLounge]

38. No. Hell No.

Not for you. Too unimaginative. Derivative of 1950's Aprons without the retro-cool factor.

:thumbsdown:

RL

[redwitch]

46. That's rich coming from the Hugh Hefner smoking jacket guy.

:P

[RetroLounge]

47. Exactly!

I know ugly when I see/wear it...

:rofl:

RL

[SeattleGirl]

41. Mmmm, the style is fine. The print, not so much.

Can you find that style with another print on it?

[NMDemDist2]

42. how about this? cute and classic, light but not WHITE

[Tuesday Afternoon]

43. so close and yet,,,,so wrong

Almost is SO0o0o00oo aggravating x(

[pitohui]

44. try it on but this is one that looks better on than on the rack

i have a similar one, except it's black with white dots (the old version i guess) and while it requires me to choose my brassiere carefully it is certainly appreciated by the red-blooded male

your hubby will like it fine when he sees it on

you will only be wearing it places where decollatage (is that spelled wrong?) is appreciated so be sure you go to enough clubs, concerts, whatever that you can enjoy the benefit of the dress

people who think people were wearing that neckline in the 50s maybe watched too many pornos? pretty sure women weren't really doing dishes in a polka dot halter top except in some guy's fantasy

[KitchenWitch]

45. I think it is a cute dress

I would never ever be able to wear something like that, but it is perfect for you! You have both the figure and the personality to be able to wear something that bold!

:D
