Would this dress age me prematurely?? (I'm in my 20s...)

Not so keen on the grey. Love the other colors.

It's a bit like a monk or nun outfit. I think it would be very unforgiving if you had even the smallest bulge anywhere. Also think the colour is very drab.

[mathanxiety]

Sorry - that was very negative.

[LeoandBoosmum]

I think you can do better. Sorry.

[Glitterkitten24]

Hmm I'm not a fan. I generally like a cowl neck, but I don't know if I'm keen on it on a maxi dress.

The brighter colour is slightly better than the grey one.

[TondelayoSchwarzkopf]

I'm 39 and would not wear it for that reason (mussiness) - the sacky shape, the lack of detailing and the afterthoughts for sleeves.

mumsiness

[rockybalboa]

Not sure about being mumsy but there is nothing nice about it at all, sorry!

[TheEarlOf]

I'm dithering I really am. What it has going for it is that it's the right length... Very rare for a shorty like me!

[shazbean]

I was going to try and be tactful...but I think it's vile, sorry.

[BalloonSlayer]

I am in my late 40s and I think it would look awful on me. But as you are in your 20s I reckon you could get away with it.

[valiumredhead]

I like it.

[browneyedpixie]

I like it (28). What you wear with it makes the outfit, ie i would wear a biker jacket/denim jacket, metallic bag and converse. http://tryingyummymummy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/metallic-cross-body-bags-and-dip-dye.html?m=1 like this

try again like this

[TheEarlOf]

Ohh I like the dip-dye effect of that dress

[ExcuseTypos]

I think it's lovely, especially at that price!

[Vibbe]

I'm 30 and I wouldn't wear it. It's the upper half of the dress that isn't good. Sorry.

[MummyAbroad]

The model presumably has a perfect bod underneath it, but even SHE doesnt look good in it. Its not flattering round the waist or hips or boobs or legs or shoulders

[TondelayoSchwarzkopf]

I think your dress is a nicer colour / shape and a more tailored waist Pixie - devil is in the details.

[TheEarlOf]

If I put up a pic of me in it is it possible for me to delete it after?

[browneyedpixie]

Yes add to your profile page?

[pictish]

It's just so drab.

[KikeriFreedomCastle]

Possibly yes. Agree also that it doesn't flatter the model.

Tragically unable to speak as a twenty year old (that ship is a mere dot on the horizon) but I have that dress in blue, it's completely un-mumsy and very flattering, aaaaannnd my sister (size 8, and spectacularly glamorous ) bought it too ( independently - we don't copy each othe ). Have had loads of compliments on it.
