Dress: asos
One thing I do love is the way the black band round the waist works wonders and makes my waist look tiny! If only a black belt had the same effect hey?!

Keep or Return?
I really am not sure about this dress. I love the idea and I love it on the asos model but I just don't think it works on me. It's too much of a cross between a school girl and a french maid on me and there is something off about it. Maybe its the collar? Maybe it's the neck tie? Maybe it's because it's a good size too big on top but would be too small round the waist if I downsized? Maybe it's the fact that I can already tell it will crease like a bugger and will sit around in the pile of dresses needing to be ironed that I can never find the time for?! I think I would love it more if the top section was all white with the black detailing seeings as I will always want to wear it with a black cardigan. What do you guys think? I can't link you to the dress on asos as for some reason it's been removed since I ordered it last week :(

I'm not all that keen on it but it might look better with a coloured cardi? The neck tie is cute and the shape is okay but you look so much nicer in colourful dresses! c: x
ReplyDeletei'm not a fan - it's screaming waitress at me! :(
ReplyDeleteI'd say return for all those reasons you said. It would probably look alright if it was a different colour :S
ReplyDeleteI think you have lots of much, much nicer dresses than this one. For me it's a return.
ReplyDeleteI'd say return, don't like it much :(
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for return, it does scream 'waitress' at me too! :( x
ReplyDeleteIf in doubt then take it back. You'd always chose to wear to something else each morning.
ReplyDeleteI think you look much better in other things.

It's nice, but I agree- it'd be nicer if the top was all white and the colourblocking was only on the skirt!
ReplyDeleteUnlike every one else i love this dress its a bit weired but i like that and i'm a sucker for black and white but i think it would look better with something other than a black cardigan. I think yu should return because you dont seem too keen, i just wish it was still online - i would be so tempted to buy it!! xxx
ReplyDeleteI say Return, sorry lovely, but it just doesn't do much for you and you are so beautiful, I am sure you will find a nicer dress :) x
ReplyDeleteYOU GOT IT! I'm not too sure its as great it real life though - Why do asos do that, seriously?! I do think you look way better in colours <3
ReplyDeleteI don't like the ribbon. Apart from that it's a nice dress, but I think if you're having doubts then it's worth getting the money back for one you fully love! :) xxxx
ReplyDeletei think return love sorry!
ReplyDeletei think you look nicer in bright colours! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan, I love the bottom half which makes me want to love the top half but I don't x
ReplyDeleteIt does look a bit costumey. :( It seems like a nice idea for a dress which doesn't work that well as an actual dress -- pity!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand why people are saying return it but I've gotta say I love it :-)
ReplyDeleteI really love the idea of this dress, I really want a monochrome one too but I'm not sure it's 100% right.
ReplyDeleteReturn I'm afraid! It might be nicer if the top half was blocked diagonally, the same way as the skirt is.
