Do you think this is tacky?
Permalink Closed

So I recently inherited a Diane Von Furstenberg classic wrap dress.  It looks and fits superbly -- it's really flattering.  The only thing is that it has the Diane Von Furstenberg logo as its pattern.

I can't find an exact picture of the dress, but the pattern is sort of like this, except just in black and white:

But it is in a more traditional DVF cut, like this:

Normally, I am not a fan of logos.  But I'm hoping/thinking that with this, the black and white lettering looks more like a trendy geometric pattern than a tacky logo-fied dress. 

What do you think?  Since I was given the dress as a hand-me-down, it doesn't hurt my feelings if you say that it is, in fact, tacky.

It doesn't sound tacky at all - and I agree that most people will just see it as a geometric print.

If its in black and white I think it should be fine. Are you able to take a picture of it?

Unfortunately I don't have a functioning camera at the moment... the pattern is like in the top dress, but the background is black and all the lines and d's, v's and f's are in white.

I think it would look like a regular print. I didnt even notice the letters until you said it was a logo, and I looked a second time.

I don't think it's tacky at all.  It took me a while to discern the logo... totally looks geometric!

I think it is great.  I didn't notice the logo until you pointed it out.

I don't think it is tacky at all.It just looks like a cool geometric print if you don't know it is supposed to be a logo.
