This is in my cart. All but sold out. BBQ or hold back?

I would get their largest size. I know it won't be work appropriate, but I'm statring to think this is a trend that won't ever hit the masses to the extent that I'll find the print on woven sheath dresses at the mall. And I love these particular colors.

Would wear with: opaque tights/boots, shorts, jeggings... possibly other things depending how long it is on me.

Is my judgement clouded by desparation? Or will I regret passing this up like I regret passing on the original AS tank I saw long ago?

Wow it seems TIGHT. I keep going back to the leggings because you could wear them with a tunic to make them more modest.

I'm sure you would look cute in it! It's hard to say how it would fit from the picture. I love the design and colors, though!

I'm not sure, Rae. It looks like clubwear. Is it returnable?

Dude, you're a ROCK STAR, for heaven's sake! If the bassist in a rock band can't wear this, then who can? I vote BUY!!

What does BBQ mean? Thanks!

BBQ = Buy, buy quickly!

I find it very hard to follow MaryK, because she's right, but I don't think you need to feel desperate.
These are more expensive than what you've found, but see what you think:

Black Milk? Yes!

Worth a try! (As long as it's returnable). I like the print and I think it would be cool over leggings or skinnies. I wear too short/bootylicious dresses over pants sometimes and it totally de-skankifies them somehow. The only concern I would have would be what the fabric quality is like...

So out of my comfort zone I can't even comment but I admire those that can rock the look!

Well, I did it!

It is returnable, and most likely re-sellable as well.

MaryK is right... if we're gonna play clubs, I kinda need a bit of clubwear.

Anna, yes, it's Black Milk! They had a few different galaxy options, but I had to fall for the one with low stock, obviously.

Fern, I'd seen those, too! The prices are actually decent, but I'm not into all the dramatic draping. Somehow it seems to take away from the print to me.

Diana, I feel better knowing that you have perfected the art of de-skankification. If I come up at a loss, I may be coming to you for questions! Hm, I wonder if it could layer over a plain black dress, too, to add some length. We'll see!

You are sure to look stunning in it, Rae! Shoot, if it's for playing in clubs, it may not be short enough! ; D

I want to vote pass, and do apologize for being a spanner. Short, skimpy and tight just doesn't seem like ROCKSTAR RAE. That being said, I like Diana's idea of adding leggings - that could be interesting.

FWIW

Thank you for your honest opinion, Angie! I did end up returning the striped B44-esque number from Target because of the skimpiness. I'm hoping that this print will layer better (the stripes got lost under jackets and felt too summery to go over skinnies). I also hope that sizing up will help with the fit. I will definitely address all these concerns when styling.

I know you will, Rae. I look forward to the experiments!

I think this would look great with leather leggings - you want to look rock star in the right way!

The print and colors are gorgeous! I can't wait to see how you decide to style it, but I think Una has something - pairing it with (p)leather leggings is a fantastic idea!

If all else fails you could turn it into a tank. Though it would lose some of the design, it would still be fun. I hope sizing up works.
