    I got taken by a very similar dress with less ruffles. I can't even bring myself to wear it for Halloween.

    It *looks* cute, but slutty. Very, very slutty. OH! Go as Virginia from The 10th Kingdom. Get some boots and put a bow in your hair, grab a crook and sing "We Will Shear You"

    Points if you know what I'm talking about.

    I would so wear that for Halloween! It looks adorable to me...

    I'm short, too, so I would probably fit into it.

    Oh my god, I was picturing something really horrifying. I kind of want it. [I would swap out the ribbon for one the color of the mid-toned checks instead of the darkest ones, however.]

    @LBB: Totally agree! I was envisioning a LOT more crinoline. i mean, I'd be pissed if I bought that too, but it is definitely a good halloween costume at least.

    I agree with sybann too - I was thinking it could definitely be Dorothy from Wizard of Oz!

    @LBB: Me too! I definitely pictured red and white gingham to start with, and much more of a corset.

    Sadie, you can definitely wear this, if not to "the clubs" (wherever they are), then at least out for Halloween.

    Luckily for me I usually only get "pressured" into buying things as an excuse to use bathrooms in public places. Just yesterday I bought a coffee I didn't need. But coffee is probably more useful than such a dress.

    ON THE OTHER HAND, if that is indeed the dress in question, I am in agreement with the costume fair folk--it's fab.

    It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I suppose that's damning with faint praise.
