Does this dress look ok for a relaxed meal?

[LazyMareofEastown]

Have....ahem.......expanded in lockdown 😳 and am feeling a bit down on myself. Love this dress and it's really comfy (plus pockets 👌) but feeling a bit paranoid about how it fits around the midsection.

Does it look ok?

Sorry about the mirror, don't own a plain full length one.

[Ididanamechange]

I think its lovely and suits you very much.

[Bettybantz]

Yes, it’s lovely!

[Carboncheque]

It looks really good. If you’re feeling self conscious you can always break out the Spanx.

[teaandtoastwithmarmite]

That's lovely. It looks so nice on you

[OwlBasket]

Yes, it looks great.

Please don’t break out the Spanx though, would spoil the whole evening!

[WTF475878237NC]

You look lovely in it. Have a nice time.

[miltonj]

Look lovely.. enjoy!

[LazyMareofEastown]

Aw thanks all. I feel loads better now.

Carboncheque I've sworn off control underwear ever since a few Xmas parties ago I had a very unfortunate incident with some crotch poppers popping open mid meal 😳 and DP having to leg it to the nearest sainsburys for safety pins which I then had to do and undo every time I went for a wee. This got more difficult and became more hazardous to my nethers as the night went on 🥂🤣

[CatonMat]

It really does look lovely.
You look fabulous in it!

[mrstea301]

You look fab in that dress, it's gorgeous!!

[SummaLuvin]

It looks fine on the pictures, nothing to worry about at all.

But. If you will still feel self-conscious it's better to wear something else no matter what people say on here. I've had doubts about outfits before, asked friends opinions, they said I looked great, stuck with it, and then didn't properly enjoy myself because I was uncomfortable and constantly adjusting and worrying.

[Carboncheque]

Maybe not the pants then.

[SymbollocksInteractionism]

It looks lovely OP

[AnneShirleysNewDress]

You look great and I love the dress.

[MsRinky]

It looks lovely. How does it feel when you're say down though? My mid-section seems to expand on sitting down, so some dresses that look perfectly nice when I'm stood up get less so...

[BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz]

Its lovely! Wheres it from?

[stalkersaga]

Yes, it's a lovely and perfectly appropriate dress and looks to fit you well.

[whateveritwilltake]

I can tell it really suits your colouring. It's relaxed and at the same time a tiny bit of décolletage on show. Your jewellery is lovely too. Nice one OP

[Purple444]

You look lovely. Have a great evening.

[CrimbleCrumble1]

You look great.

[FredJonesPt2]

You look lovely.

[gogohm]

You look lovely, I wish my midriff had only expanded that much! (Strict diet January)

[AdoraBell]

Looks really nice on you 👍hope you enjoy the evening.

[LazyMareofEastown]

I'm back. Felt really comfortable and had a lovely time scoffing keralan food and drinking wine 😁

For those who have asked, the dress is vintage, from the 80's I think. I was drawn to it because its got strong shoulders which help create the illusion that I actually have a waist 😬.

Thanks for the nice comments.

[Stiffcondomhat]

Glad you had a nice time. The colours really suit you.
