THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN


They prefer this Vivienne Westwood to the (awkwardly styled) Halston Heritage.

Far be it from me to side with the people.... But I think I agree.

Even if it is 95% polyester.





Sigh.

    Not sure. The halston looks more disco.

    I think we need a poll. Put the other good ones in too...

    This is the one I got, which is actually pretty sexy on. I had trouble making the fancy link shortener work in my browser - sorry!

    I do not like this at ALL. It looks like a drunk fashion school student made it. I like the Alice Temperly and Matthew Williamson better.

      Hmm. Now that I see it on a human body I might agree. It looked better on the human-shaped void in the first shot.

    I envy anyone who can wear a shapeless neckline like this. I have a short neck and big boobs and require something V neck. I don't not like it, but I feel like this is a hard shape to pull off.

    If this girl has hips and boobs and a small waist this dress is going to be just about the most unflattering this ever. If I were to wear this shape it would tack on about 40 pounds.

      Agreed! This is the opposite of the wrap-style tulip shape she wanted. This dress would simultanously hide my small waist and make my thighs look massive.

    UMmmmmm... nope. Not a dancing dress! More like a matron of honor dress for your dumpy friend who thinks she's dressing "riqsue" sorrrryyy.

    The MW was far superior. I don't like the above at all, it's metallic but there's no fun disco vibe.

      Yeah, I kind of preferred the MW.

    This is not the shape she requested, but I love the back of this dress.

    That VW is terrible and not disco at all.

    This is disco but sadly not in her size


    less disco and a bit over budget but still fun and in her size.

    although of everything in the original post I thought the ASOS dress was the best option. Or just have one made. it's a simple design she wants and I doubt gold fabric costs very much. Just a thought.

    OP here! Thank you all for your suggestions. I hope ESB wasn't making fun of me by showing how crappy exactly what I described look like. Seriously, maybe worst Halston ever, but to be fair closest to what I described. This Vivienne Westwood is kind of bomb but I agree that something that hugs my thighs and not my waist is not as flattering as the other way around. I loved the Alice by Temperley but it's not in my size--I'm a 4/6. Kinda dug the Silver French Connection too, which I'm gonna try and see if they have in the NYC stores. If either was a little more swingy and dance-y it would be perfect. Getting it made is actually a brilliant option, it's just a simple drape design. Thank you all for opening my eyes on this one!

    annnd now I feel like the biggest jerk ever for looking a gift horse in the mouth. I love you ESB and hope you weren't in fact making fun of me. I can definitely see how the halston would work with better styling and it's growing on me to the point where I think I might rent it as a last minute possibility. And it is definitely DISCO. chin chin, thank you all again for the suggestions!

      dude, just buy the halston. it's FOR SALE for $73. a custom disco dress for under $200 = a nightmare you don't want

    this one, this one! also just $70, also disco, you could give it a tulip hem in a snap if you so chose. the back is fun.

      If you managed to figure out the boob-halter situation during boobs week ... I love this one.
