K/R: Jellyfish dress

I found this undersea pattern dress on eBay. It has jellyfish, seahorses and other fish on it. I'm thinking of wearing this for my upcoming birthday party--DD and I are having a combined birthday party for my 40th and her 6th, and she wanted an Ariel princess party, so we're doing an undersea theme. The seahorse maxi came and went back already because the empire waist maxi made me look pregnant again! The pictures are too embarrassing to post. 

So I tried this shift style instead. This dress is pretty thin and looks like a knockoff (the tag says Moschino Cheap & Chic, but it came from Asia) but it fits the theme perfectly so I couldn't resist. What do you think--OK to wear or keep looking? I can't really return it since it came from eBay. Should I wear with black or white leggings, and full length or capri length? It's too short for me to wear on its own.

    I think it's perfect for the party!

    OMG, I love it! And I kinda want one... is it tight in the bust, or is that the just the fold line from shipping?

    I think it is perfect! Can you wear it with white clams?

  • goldenpig replied 10 years ago

    Rae, it's not too tight--it's straight from the package so the creases are from the folds during shipping. I haven't had a chance to steam it out. But this is a L, which is the largest size they had. (Those tiny Asians!)

    I have that dress and love it.  IMO it is made wrong and the darts are out of place, I actually took the darts out and put new ones in lower.  I wear mine with bare legs but it is a wee bit longer on me.

    Divine. I love everything about it.

    Tracina, wow, you have the same dress? Did you get it on eBay too? We should do a twin day!

    Ceit, that is a good idea. I just bought some white clams--I'll try them.

    Thanks Raisin & Clara!

    I think it's perfect for your party!  I like the black leggings with it but think white could look good too.  Fun turquoise shoes.

    What a cool tunic/ dress! I love the design on it, and it looks great with the leggings as you've shown here.
    You'll be the hit of the mermaid party!

    It looks perfect for your party a d great with the leggings and blue shoes. I like the oriental look of the print.

    Amazingly awesome!  I love it!

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    I looked at the seller's entire store today. They even have the cat dress I returned a year or so ago, but in a nice red instead of hospital-gown pink. Sorely tempted.

    oOoh, I like it - I think it's party perfect!

  • unfrumped replied 10 years ago

    It looks really good!

  • Jjsloane replied 10 years ago

    I really like it - fun print, but not childish. I'd go shorter with the leggings just a bit.
