To quote Tim Gunn, it’s a lotta look. I don’t like it on the mannequin. Way too much bulk at the bottom. I agree with the Fashion Police, it looks like Big Bird bonked a flapper.

Talk about ill-fitting…
I don’t care if that’s the “look” of the dress – the embellishment at the bottom is eventually going to weigh down the shoulder straps to the point that they will snap and the gown will go sliding down to thew wearer’s ankles!

it would be cute as a mini if the body part would be shorter.. right now it just looks droopy.

Sitting on the fence here.
Am liking the carefree ruffles at the bottom.
The bodice part is confusing me. Is that a trompe l’oeil effect with the chains? Is the fabric sheer?
It’s making me anxious now.

Hm…I like it in theory. But I think just the right person has to wear it and rock it with confidence, or the top just ends up hanging. I love the bottom though, and do actually like some of the little details of the dress.

It’s kinda cute. Red carpet only.

I can imagine this being worn on Strictly Come Dancing! It seems a bit confused to me, like it doesn’t know what kind of dress it wants to be.

I agree with gokarm. On the right person (slim and flat-chested) it would work…though it would still be hard to do it without going all the way into flapper dress-up territory.
