Do you have a favorite dress you love, but look ugly in?

Yes. I’ve had dresses that looked beautiful, and I really looked forward to trying them on. But once I did, I looked too fat and/or masculine. It happens.

Oh I just looked horrendous, but it fits so perfect

Hello Hippie,
Her cellular device, lmao. Yes I do have such a dress, It is a long red body con dress and it fits tight. You can’t hide anything in this dress. It is very easy to take a bad picture in it and very difficult to get a good shot. I have a couple of pictures that I like and I will post one to my private gallery if you want to see it. It might take me a minute to post it.

Hugs

No, I don't need to see it, but thanks for the offer

Being plus size I love T-shirt dresses a lot, but when I look in the mirror I look like a prego. But I have always liked form fitting clothes, and seeing how I don't go out dressed unless is dark out  I have been looking for dresses now to try and hide things a bit!!  LOL

Me I'm totally the opposite. I figure if I'm going to seen, better make it a scene

But I'm a very outrageous in your face kind of person

It also helps that I have no fear

For starters, I when I see the question starting "Do I have a favorite ..." my almost immediate reaction is no. What I wear depends a lot on the occasion and season. I'm probably not going to wear a winter dress in the summer or visa versa. I'm probably not going to wear a party dress or formal gown if I'm going to be home or shopping. (If I do ear any unusual outfit at home, it's because I want to wear it for me and not to go out in.)And even given an occasion and season, I probably have several outfits to choose from. So as soon as I see the word favorite, I usually don't even care what the question is, my answer is no.

I don't often wear dresses. I would say 90-95% of the time I'm in a skirt and top rather than a dress. It gives me more mix and match possibilities, as well as the ability to vary the seasonality of a skirt by the top I'm wearing.

A friend taught me early on that you have to love the dress because it's your whole outfit. You can mix a top you love with a skirt you like, or a skirt you love with a top you like, and get an outfit you love. You can't do that with a dress, so you better love the whole outfit.

If you have a dress you love but don't think you look great in, perhaps that's a dress to be worn at home and not worn outside of the home.

I wore what I thought was a perfect dress too a makeover party with my other close sisters from here.  As diplomatically as they could put it, 🧐🤔🫢🫣to the last one, they were not enthusiastic like me, ( I.e. yuck).☹️  I guess I’m not the ladies fashion guru I thought.  Oh well I wear it at home.🤩

No. If I don’t look as good as is possible for me in any piece of clothing it goes into the giveaway bag.

I feel that way about a lot of my stuff, lol.

Preach!

Not sure about ugly.....

But this was the one and the only time I will buy off a TV shopping channel.

Looked great on the model on the screen, but not on me.Just did not like the way it fitted and sat on my tired old "bod".

Caty.

I am afraid that it won't matter how nice the dress is, I won't be doing any of them any justice. 😁

I have a fit-and-flare dress that fits just right and feels outrageously comfortable, whether I'm doing chores or just relaxing out in the garden on a summer's afternoon (the fabric has exactly the right breathability for hot days).
Unfortunately, the colour scheme is just plain wrong for me: it's a sort of autumn print that does nothing to lighten up my face, leaving me looking drawn and sallow.
It was one of the first dresses I bought online, in the days when I was getting the hang of sizing but not yet competent in the selection of colours or prints.

Love to you all,
Katherine
