On me. I can’t wait for the trend to be over. I’m so jealous of women who can wear these and look good.

Anybody who is size 10 or bigger look awful in these floral thingies.

Agree, but I'd say anyone over a size 8 looks like they are wearing a moomoo. And if your short you look like you are trying to look like a child. These are designed for slim banana shapes with long legs and no more than a B cup. Even then they make the wearers look stuipid.

What's a "moo moo"?

Someone doesn’t know how to spell mumu. The length is flattering on me. It’s the ruffles at the shoulders that are bad. If they just put straps on them, we could wear them with those cute cropped cardigans they’re pushing at us.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimity#:~:text=Chiefly%2C%20dimity%20is%20fashioned%20into,woven%20almost%20exclusively%20of%20cotton.

"Dimity is a collective term for figured cloths of harness loom decorated with designs and patterns. It is a strong cotton cloth with various stripes and illustrations."

I dress for the part. Sometimes the part “basic woman at a winery” or “mom of two at a baby shower” and damn if I don’t want to have the best flowery dress on for those roles. Add impractical bag and maybe a hat to really nail it.

Unfortunately most of the time my role is “middle management consultant” or “elementary school mom” so I have to restrain myself when shopping to focus on loafers, tan and black basics, tailored sheaths and such.

You don't need to wear only what you find in stores. Some decades will be harder than others to find what YOU like to wear, but a little persistence pays off!

Bet there's a lot of snickering behind your back, you sound like you look ridiculous.

Life is too short to worry about what other people want you to wear. Wear what makes you happy.

This type of sleeve is not flattering on me so I wouldn't wear them. But, they are very pretty dresses, imo. LOVE the lemons.

I don't think these are very flattering on anyone. I don't even think they look good on the models. I don't thonk they flatter anyone.

I feel like these are all designed for a life that I don’t lead and no one I know leads. Where would you wear this? The farmers market on Sunday? (Why wouldn’t you just wear something more casual?). A play date at the park (again, why wear something this fancy)? It’s too casual for the office or for a real party. I feel like it’s designed for women that live in a Hallmakr movie and go out to garden brunches with their girlfriends and drink lemonade and eat salads. I guess maybe I could see wearing it shopping in a cute downtown on a beach vacation …. But I’m not buying a dress for that one specific thing I’ll do once. I also think these will look super dated in 2 years and will join the cold shoulder tops in the landfill.

WTF is a "dimity floral"? I really need to know.

I am 5'4 and slim with small breasts and they look terrible on me.

Also, a few years dated but the Jane Fonda on Frankie and Grace had awesome fitted floral button downs that were here signature look. I loved them so much I googled and found a story saying basically the designer made them by hand specially for the character as she couldn’t find anything quite right from stores.

So there are ways to do feminine and florals and pretty colors without just adding a bunch of flounces to a shapeless floral dress..

It is the cheapest way.

This is true.

I chose a simple wedding gown that was really just a well tailored bridesmaid’s dress in ivory. It cost twice as much as the heavily embellished gowns at David’s Bridal.

I bet there is as well. Tragic!

I'm tall, slim, and busty and they still look like crap on me. The puff shoulders in particular make everyone who isn't Nicole Kidman look like a cross dressing linebacker.
