I really like this dress http://shop.acnestudios.com/system/search/product.asp?id=3116 but if you don't have the Oscars to attend, would you still consider this dress (with little mileage) at this price?
Thoughts on this dress?

Personally, I'm not a fan. If I were going to spend that much on a dress, it would have to be something with staying power (more of a classic design).
I think the dress is cute but agree it's not classic enough for me to spend that amount.
Also you would need great legs, shoulders, waist and arms!

Do you go to any events where that dress would be appropriate? Or do you love it enough to just wear it to dinner and be overdressed? It also depends on how much disposable income you have. Personally, it is too expensive for me, but if this dress is just pocket change then sure get it.
I have a similar dress with a tight corset top and a short skirt with lots of tulle underneath. I am neither tall or thin, but it looks amazing on because it has great definition around the waist and gives me an hourglass shape. So this style can work on more figures than just tall and thin, but it will need to fit perfectly.

i think if you have the right body type.....you can tone it down w/ a cardigan/jacket....def a dinner / party kind of outfit.
i think it's cute...may be a little too cute for my taste. like the previous poster said...if this is not that expensive to you..why not get it.

therefore I've had to contemplate. It fits me nicely even though I don't have legs that go a mile.
The jacket to downplay it is a good idea. The cost isn't that though.

That is a cute dress. Perhaps so cute that it is "cutesy." (I can see that working well on a tall, thin, younger woman, i.e. under 25) However, if it looks great on YOU, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. 
But, for the price, I'd keep looking. It's not an incredibly unique design. I feel like I've seen many versions of that dress at Betsey Johnson for less than half the price.

I think the back of the dress is super cool, but if you look at the front- it doesn't seem to be very flattering, even to the mannequin.
