The Mock Turtle

There was a really similar Zara version of that in black earlier on in the summer. It sold out really quickly and I was stalking it on eBay but it was £££££

I really dislike a peplum.
I'm sure the Zara dress looks nice on someone, but I've seen it on a range of body shapes, sizes and ages, and every single one looked unflattered

I actively hate.

As a stumpy-legged, long-waisted child of the 80s, I think they are great for creating the illusion of a shorter body/longer legs, but having said that, don't have a single one in my current wardrobe. Are they coming back? (I'd be quite pleased... )

I mostly dislike them at knee height or tagged onto the end of a midi or maxi skirt.

This! They are awful!

They are flounces, not peplums, surely?

I don't know what they're called, which is why I went for a divan ruffle. Like an overly fancy bed

I actually quite like it (and seem to be alone on this here ) but fact it is everywhere it has really put me off.

I actually don’t actively dislike it either. It would look like a sack on me. Someone actually got married in it: https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.har ... tty-dress/

It falls in all the wrong places for me and I'm not a fan of a ruffle hem.

That green one looks much better to me - just a 70s style with a huge sun hat, or big knee length boots. It being white contributes a lot to the ugliness I think.

Never heard of it Wendy!

I thought they were called tiers?

I didn't, but I might do now

I also quite like the dress. It looks comfy It only really looks good on slim tall 20 somethings though.

Sorry Marth.

You'd have to have been growing up in the 80s, I guess. I think I had just started work as florist in London, when that song came out. I adored all Joan Armatrading's songs. But, no, I hadn't ever looked at sack the stylist that way. May be I will now.

The dress has made it to Sark of all places

Zara, obvs

Our tutor gives us a different designer to look up each week. I got 'Comme des Garcons' this week: https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spr ... llection#1. Clearly, I have no future in the fashion industry. I don't know where to start.
