Would you wear this?

It might look better on. Depends on the fabric maybe? With a lovely scarf or necklace?

I think this might be the last dress I would choose!!! I'm not a dress wearer either except for special occasions like weddings.

Maybe with the right height and figure ....?
Dream on Alea!!

I think it's something my mother might have worn in 1955

I suppose if a twenty-something willowy model was wearing it, with 5" heels and all the right accessories, it might look stunning. But only because the wearer is stunning to begin with. Obviously no chance for me

That dress looks awful. Is it meant for Winter or Summer? Definitely not for me but I don't wear dresses much anyway. I'm thinking of giving up bras, too...............

I'm wearing it! The pearls make a difference!

Most dresses look a bit sad on the hanger, but when worn ( and who wears it makes a big difference) can look stunning.So I reserve judgement.

Looks like something Mrs Danvers would wear when she was prowling around Manderley!!

Its rather drab isn't it?

I love wearing dresses and make ( and buy ) a lot. But this looks like it would maybe look better with a nice wide leather belt, chunky jewellery and knee high boots , maybe a long sleeve coordinating t shirt underneath. In other words, it's a bit dull but could be dressed up. That picture wouldn't entice me to try it.

Galen! Apologies, I bet you look great in it. Are they real pearls?

Nothing that is designed to have a body inside it looks great on it's own but as others have said it is how you accessorise it. The cut is hugely important too and when you slip on something that is well cut you just 'know' and it can make you look stunning - in spite of one's self and all the flaws.
I would have to try it on to know and many times I have been pleasantly surprised by something which looks uninspiring.

Looks as dull as dishwater.

Noto of course ( well cultured)

Not in a month of Sundays.. its very drab and dull.

Not exactly "the little black dress" more like a dreary black sack

It's not my style or colour. I have never owned a black dress. I showed it to Mr hjj, he just pulled a face when I asked him if it would suit me! I need a couple of dresses, but not this one.

I tend to find that if it looks good on the hanger it'll look lousy on me. If it doesn't look great on the hanger but there's something appealing about its fabric/colour/styling it may well be good on the body (ie I don't have a figure like a clothes-hanger). You're right Synonymous, if it's really well cut it can look great whatever the fabric. Masai fall into this camp for me (hopefully grabbed at sale price).

Greyduster I also immediately thought of Mrs Danvers!

It's very drab.

It will be in the Gunwharf outlet store next year! I can usually predict the non sellers.

I don't do dresses unless with leggings. So I really wear them as a long top. My last buy was a Masai dress/long top for £30 in the sale......I so love it.

The one in the pic is too high up around the neck for me. Wouldn't break my stride to check it out.
However if it was on display and styled with accessories it might look more attractive.

It doesn't have a single redeeming feature

The word slouchy says it all. But then I don't really do dresses and certainly not knee length. Yesterday I was wearing the lovely Wallis dress I bought in a charity shop - geometric abstract pattern of brown, white, black, yellow and turquoise, with a mid calf handkerchief hem.

I have two dresses for summer, one is a £15 maxi dress I've had for 6 years and the other is a linen sundress I bought on ebay!
