PLEASE give me your opinion on this dress!! I need to buy it tomorrow or it's gone!

[luvsic]

I'm being a posting whore, I know, BUT

I have had this dress on hold for like two weeks and everyone's getting pissed at me because it's our last extra small and I need to buy it by TOMORROW or they're putting it back on the floor!!

The model pulling it all the way up to her butt makes it look trashy, but it looks longer on me because I am short (5'2")

So, is this a yay or nay from you guys? I personally love it, but my mom (who gives honest advice that is usually accurate) said it made my legs look fat and it didn't flatter my bust. She hated the bubble hemline and said it looked cheap. Basically her reaction to it:

ONE of my friends said it looked strange, like underwear was bunching up in the back of it.

THE REST of my friends say it is cute but they haven't seen me with it on.

It'll be about 70 USD for me. Is it worth it?

What do you guys think? I value your opinions! :O please let me know!!

Here it is on Dakota Fanning:

i need to make my decision tomorrow by 2 O__O

I think it's cute. If you like it you should get it, if you think it looks great on you, why not?

 

[cindiaz]

I like it too!

 

[MissResha]

it looks better on the model than it does dakota imo. she doesnt look happy at all and it shows in the dress.

 

[brokenxbeauty]

It's cute. If you like the way it looks on you, get it!

 

[luvsic]

thanks guys

it's just a little expensive...that's why, and if I get it it's gonna eat up a large chunk of my paycheck. That's the only thing - I don't know if I could find something better which would come along...I wish you guys could see how it looked on me

I am not sure if it looks great on me...I thought it did at first, but after all of the comments my mom made I had second thoughts. My co-workers may not be completely honest w/ me, after all if I buy it it's just more money towards the store whether or not it looks good in reality.

I say go with those opinions of the people that saw it on you in person. i think with that coral color it only looks good on certain skin color. Dakota is pretty slender and even on her, it makes her legs look short and stubby. For me I'd say is a nay!

what she said

When you think of the dress as an entire outfit instead of one piece, $70 doesn't seem steep at all. If you think you'll wear it enough, get it.

I think it's important to gauge the opinion of the people around you. If your mom is usually correct in her analysis of things you may want to consider what she said. I certainly wouldn't say if you like it just buy it because that's where people get fucked up. I see people in things all the time that are not at all flattering and they rock it because they like it when perhaps they should have asked someone's opinion about it. When I try something on that I am not sure about I always get a few opinions, especially that of strangers, so I can make my decision. I have put things back many times because even though I liked it people were like

. So, I said all that to say weigh the opinions and follow your instincts. It seems as though your instincts are telling you not to buy it but you are just having doubts.

It's cute! I think you should go for it if you like it, especially since you can return it. $70 is not that bad. It is the last one and if you don't get it, yu might end up regretting it (which sucks, I know!) Try it on at home so you don't feel pressured like when you're trying it at the store. If you don't like it, you can just return it right?

Very Cute!!

 

[fintia]

get it

I think the exact same thing. I like it a lot unless you look at the bottom, I think you need really strait thin legs to rock that and even then... it's a personal opinion tho.

 

[luvsic]

THE INDECISIVENESS O___O I'm still really torn.

hmm. It only goes down to 70 b/c of my employee discount, and some money I saved up as a gift from my parents. Originally it was 139.

I am not really stick-straight all over like Dakota, I have a few more curves. I want to trust the people who saw it in person, but at the same time they are my co-workers, so I am not sure if they are just saying that so I will buy it...after all, it is money going towards our store.

 

[OfficerJenny]

Please buy it

 

[astronaut]

I have to say it looks a lot better on Dakota then it does on the model lol.

 

[iadoremac]

love the dress its cute but i think you should consider what your mom said because there is no point getting it if it doesnt look good.

 

[BloopBloop]

i would have told you to get it if i didnt see the other angle images on the website. from the back it looks like a giant baby diaper. *sigh, i was tempted to check that out myself

 

[Sabrunka]

I think it's really pretty!! And as mentioned before, as long as YOU like it, then get it!
