The problem is not with the dress, nor with the model, but with the fact that they are inappropriately paired. Put that on a bigger girl of appular shape, and she will rock it. That girl would carry a pair of skinny jeans fabulously. But that girl in that dress spells 'dress going straight to the clearance rack because nobody sees it.' Absolutely, ChloeMireille!

I tend to follow the "if you're old enough to remember it the first time, you're too old for it now" school of thought. FWIW, I'm not yet 30 and I gave them up last year.
