I don't actually think it would be hard to wear. In addition to obviously just wearing it as a dress on its own, here are some other ways I might style it: -with cropped leggings underneath for a more casual look -with a jacket or blazer for a dressier look -over pants - skinny blue jeans for more casual, skinny black pants for more dressy. -with a hip slung belt.   Deborah on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1229257 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 02:22:16 +0000 Deborah 1229257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's stunning!  As Parsley said, this style really sits on the fringe of mainstream and as such I think it could have a long life span.  The colour would be perfect for you and the style would be very flattering.  I am SO disappointed this doesn't appear to come in black;) Angie on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1229136 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 00:45:01 +0000 Angie 1229136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thumbs up from me too. xo rabbit on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1229100 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 00:03:19 +0000 rabbit 1229100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it's beautiful and a bit avant garde, and if the colors are good on you, I'd try it.   I don't think it would be that hard to dress down either.  Just wear some kind of shrug or open cardigan or jacket, and/or leggings underneath.  I'd totally be tempted if it was my colors. I think also it depends on fit, it could look interesting and flattering, or it could fall flat,  but either way, you would probably know right away.  If it's free shipping and free returns I might get more than one size to try. April on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1229035 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 22:54:40 +0000 April 1229035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm less concerned that it will date than that it might be hard to wear.  It seems dramatic for day or for work, and it might be such a statement in its Grecian majestic-ness that wearing it multiple times in the evening could be tricky.   On the other hand -- definitely one of your colors, Jean.   Suz on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1229024 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 22:42:26 +0000 Suz 1229024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it would look great on you! Absolutely give it a try. I can see you in it.  annagybe on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1229013 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 22:32:54 +0000 annagybe 1229013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it will be good for you. lyn* on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1228967 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 21:35:30 +0000 lyn* 1228967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it's really pretty! I agree with parsley that this is not mainstream and will not date as quickly! Just a note - Asos isn't free returns to Canada (are you a Canuck?) I got that rude surprise when I ordered there once.  Thistle on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1228963 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 21:33:45 +0000 Thistle 1228963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I third Parsley. It is totally worth a try. At $60 (and ASOS regularly runs 20% off sales), with free shipping and free returns, I think it is a low risk to try it. Even if it does date in a year or two, if you have loved it during that time, the price tag doesn't make me fret it too much. You can still get good CPW.

I am really drawn to the color. Janet on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1228951 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 21:23:03 +0000 Janet 1228951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with Parsley! It's really cool, and I can see this being terrific on you. It's the kind of thing I would love to wear, but these kind of garments always look terrible on me. I'd love to see you rock it! deb on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1228948 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 21:20:54 +0000 deb 1228948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think so. Would this be a new silhouette for you? Parsley on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1228947 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 21:20:03 +0000 Parsley 1228947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ To me, that look is outside the mainstream, so shouldn't date quickly. But for $60, I wouldn't require tremendous longevity, either.  That color would look fabulous on you. The style could be tricky, but it could be incredible, too. You won't know unless you try! greenglove on "Is this ASOS dress worth a try?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-asos-dress-worth-a-try#post-1228946 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 21:17:22 +0000 greenglove 1228946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Not sure, will this look date?
