To be worn with leather biker and either black pistol ankle boots/white trainers...

It actually looks great on I think but it just shouldn’t... looks like it should be dated but maybe that’s just because I remember this kind of thing from the 90s.... can’t work out whether it’s a keeper...

I think it's nice. If I had the right figure I'd definitely wear it.

Yes provided your slim or your legs will not look very good they will look stumpy with ankle boots and a midi dress

Legs aren’t a problem with me (many things are but not legs!) I’m a tall 10-12 with a tummy but due to the draping thing in the middle (not sure if you can see that in the pics) it’s not overly obvious. I usually hate draping/ruching on the tummy as it screams this is what I’m trying to hide... so I’m just a little reluctant. I just wonder if anyone would even notice!!

Would a leather biker and converse/superga look weird with it?

No I think a leather jacket and converse (white?) would look good?
I also wear sneakers from a brand called Seven Feet Apart, look them up.
Is the jacket black?

The ruffles will flatter a belly I agree with you!
Lucky you having nice legs ❤️ I am so small but I hate my legs and they just do not do me justice.

Thanks for the advice. The jacket is an ink blue (nearly black). I was thinking white converse.

Yes my legs are decent. It took me till nearly my 40s to have the guts to show them though!! My stomach is a wreck though- but doesn’t seem to be too obvious in this. And with age I definitely have a more feck it approach.

Going to look up seven feet apart now....

It's nice!

Yes an inky blue leather jacket would be even better, that dress is a bargain!! Enjoy

I didn’t like it till you said how you were styling it. Sounds great.

Thanks for the positive comments. That’s totally made my mind up now. Do you think with the jacket and converse it’s dressed down enough for a London pub on a Saturday night? I don’t go out so much these days!!

@zippyswife def think that is dressed up enough
I always think confidence is the best outfit
Gosh I can't wait for the weather to improve

Me too. There’s nothing more feel good than shorts weather. Bring it on.

Looks great.

Ritzsaltedcrackers · 17/04/2018 16:14

Really nice, you’d need toned arms though.

Thanks. Arms fairly ok. Going to wear it at the weekend!

It's lovely. You sound like you have the figure to pull it off. I don't! X

My stomach is a wreck but seems to be fairly hidden in it! Arms and legs are ok. Could be an all round winner.
