Instagram model baffles in dress that’s so skimpy you ‘can’t wear it in public’

An Instagram model divided opinion when she posed in a cut-out dress, which critics believe you wouldn’t actually be able to wear outside.

Abby Dowse rocked a purple frock from Fashion Nova – and it left little to the imagination.

It has a plunging neckline and cut-outs all over it, which makes it impossible to wear a bra with.

The fitness guru, from Sydney, Australia, styled the lavender look with a pair of black knickers.

She sported big hoop earrings and dainty necklaces and ran her hands through her curly hair.

Natural skin makeup and glossy lips completed the glamorous ensemble, which was liked more than 47,000 times on Instagram.

One fashion fan gushed: “Such a sexy dress.”

And another said: “Wow beautiful.”

Others weren’t very convinced about the saucy style though.

A critic asked: “How many people can actually wear this dress?”

And another queried: “I just want to know where can I wear that to? Advertise things most can wear not this.”

A third wrote: “If they would have designed this into a bathing suit instead it would have been so bomb.”

Another asked: “Where would you even wear this.”

And a fifth added: “If we don’t have big boobs what should we do?!”

Fashion Nova is an online fast fashion retail company based in Los Angeles.

It mainly sells clothes via Instagram influencers and models – but has also worked with celebrities like Blac Chyna and Christina Milian.

In recent months, many of the retailer’s garments have gone viral online.

Previously, its unusual “wedgie” shorts made a splash Instagram.

The store’s “Borat” style bodysuit also left shoppers flabbergasted.

Meanwhile, Instagram models went wild for tiny bikini – but some customers worried that it’d ‘rip in seconds’.
