I was glancing through a catalog that came to my workplace and I saw this dress.
It has a hood. And a sweatshirt-style pocket stuck on the front. And the neckline looks like it was cut with a razor. And what is the “upscale, closet crowd” anyway?
So I laughed at the horror of it. But then I realized that my laughter would probably insult someone who liked the dress. And then I thought, “No one could like that dress.” And then I remembered that I have really bad taste.
So, dopers, is that dress (well, the whole outfit, really) completely ghastly, or do I just not understand?
I think it’s pretty ghastly. I have the feeling you need to be very slim to wear it without looking like a beanbag chair. And that pocket in the front is awful.
It’s not too horrible, but I wouldn’t (couldn’t) wear it.
By the way, the upscale, closet crowd is the populate of cool clothes that get to hang in the closet, as opposed to the casual, shabby-shic clothes who get folded up in drawers.
I think that dress is ugly, but I have seen sweater dresses that are very sexy. Victoria’s Secret has several that I like, and I own one. However, they are very body conscious, so you wouldn’t want to wear them if you have insecurities in that department.
It has a nice line - that is completely ruined by the hood and front sweatshirt pocket. But eliminate those, and the outfit is ok. (And I don’t think you need to be slim - hourglassy, yes (apple shaped women wouldn’t have a shot in that dress))
Oh, and I hate “heather brown.”
That dress is seriously fugged up. The material is bad (it looks like wide-wale corduroy, for pete’s sake), the color is atrocious, the length is stupid for the season indicated by the weight of the fabric, the hood is ridiculous, the neckline trashy and the pocket is an abysmal joke.
I predict that it will sell like hotcakes and shall be the fashion trend of the autumn. :o
The dress is a little to comfy-casual for my tastes but I wouldn’t call it awful. The right person could pull it off provided she had no fat rolls, bulges or jiggling.
If the dress were a little shorter, I could see a younger gal wearing it over a pair of curve-hugging jeans with a denim jacket to complete the look.
It’s not completely horrible - at least, not if you’re waif-thin with supermodel looks. On me it’d look like I was wearing a potato sack with a hood. It reminds me of T-shirt dresses that look like one big polo shirt. I hate those.
OK I’ve decided that there IS a serious problem with that dress: its name. I just happened to notice it when I was looking at my taskbar and saw the name on the Explorer window.
I clicked the link expecting to like it since girls in sweaters are a very nice thing but I can’t say I especially like it. It’s not ugly, really, but isn’t worth noting either.
I think it’s about time that women got their own hatch for easy genital access. Beyond that, though, that particular dress does nothing for me. But the model is very nice.
