Re: yay or nay on this cocktail dress?

I don't think so, it's pretty! I guess it depends how it fits, too. Sometimes those dresses can be a little stiff and boxy and that makes it look matronly rather than if it was a little more form fitting, KWIM? Can you try it on or is it online only?

ITA. It's a very pretty dress but the fit looks very boxy and unflattering.

It looks cuter on the model and I know you're a size 2, but keep in mind, they always pin clothes in the back to give it that really flattering, nipped in at the waist look.

I like it, but what is your skin tone? I know that color would look terrible on me.

I think the dress looks very classy. The color would be awful on me, (blonde and fair skin tone) but I think it will great on you!

I agree that you will certainly stand out.

I love it. I think it is very sophisticated and classy. With some great shoes, like someone else said you will stand out in a sea of black.
