Worst Dressed: When Ugly AND Expensive Meet

They actually appear to be front leg flaps. Which is totally bizarre.

Carwash? I would not want to wash my car in a car wash with a mop like that. Lol.

I really like this dress - it’s fun and a little different. Akris is pretty great.

I do like the dress, and Akris makes amazing clothing, but I would have it tailored a bit to remove the two hanging pieces. IMO, very weird and highly impractical. :slight_smile:

This is just awful - I dislike the trend of sheer dresses with visible undergarments. Looks tacky.

Oh, god. A current thread leader! It is both ugly and expensive. Moonlight is not just the color… the term can be also used to describe the view of the derrière. :wink:

Look like a bathing suit with a cover up (that doesn’t cover up anything.)

Ummmmm – I like the color. The lace is pretty. But – really.

I don’t go to parties where something like that would be appropriate.

And, almost $14,000? You can buy a decent used car for that money.

It looks like something Miss Kitty would wear on Gunsmoke.

Price drop on the dress…down to $13,650. Hurry, while supplies last.

Rats. Gourmetmom beat me to this gem. https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/elie-saab-cold-shoulder-sheer-embroidered-gown/product/0400099007542?site_refer=DFA_RMK_S5_CRITEO

LOL, I love the way it’s described as a “cold shoulder” gown. Man, that’s not all that would be cold! :))

Well Gucci is giving Dolce a run for their money in this category!

@jym626 I actually think this dress is beautiful:

Not that I could ever wear it, but that isn’t what I judge by.

We shall agree to disagree, @Consolation. I think its ugly, ill fitting and scratchy looking. Have many better uses for > $7000. IMO tulle typically belongs in a wedding dress or under a dress. This is a fancy petticoat.

There are some pretty tulle dresses. This is not one of them.

Well, I certainly don’t have $7,000 to drop on ANY garment!

BTW, that shoulder dress would look great at a 1980s Klingon cocktail party. :smiley:
