What do you think of this dress?

[username4858]

I'm in my 30s DH thinks it's too old for me. I'm useless buying clothes and can't make a decision to save my life. Would appreciate some objective advice. Thanks

I think it's lovely as long as you are very tall and willowy.

That sleeve length doesn't work otherwise.

I suppose it depends on how u accessorise, the shoes and what it's for
What's ur body type?

Thank you @GreenThing I'm definitely not tall (5ft2)

I'm a pear shape size 10

Sorry posted too soon we are going on holiday it going to be warm but not mad hot I think low 20s. So trying to find something suitable.

Tall and lean yes amazing. If you are short then it is likely to look frumpy and mumsy.

It's ok but not great. Something about the cut and maybe fabric is a bit old-fashioned. I think try ASOS for their version - they have lots of cotton tea dresses and similar, at calf length.

at 5ft 2 i think that style will make you look shorter it will overwhelm you that sleeve length will cut you in half buts its a nice dress if you can return it with no problems might be worth ordering it as dresses can look totally different on to in a picture

I’m 5’10” and that dress would not sit past over my knees like that.

Oh boo I've failed to find you a red dress similar to that on ASOS, but did find some other long-ish button down dresses:

Like this www.asos.com/monki/monki-button-front-midi-dress/prd/9865106

Lovely tea dress www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-button-through-maxi-tea-dress-in-ditsy-floral/prd/10821635

This is probably too flimsy for low 20s temperature, but thought I'd attach a pic as it's so pretty and jolly.

It's grannified. You have to be careful with Monsoon, or you could come out like a frump.

Don't like the dress, looks like something from little house on the prairie.
You're too short for shin length, will make you look smaller. (I am too)
I find the longest I can do is knee length as in pencil skirt or a maxi dress. Nothing inbetween.

I agree with everyone else. Old fashioned and unflattering

No sorry OP. Have you tried joanie clothing? Kinda vintage and quirky but much more your age range

Awful.

Lovely. I would pair it with navy cardigan and navy loafers. Lovely

Thanks everyone knew I would get some honest opinions here. @cornflakes5 thanks I will have a look at them dresses

I strongly disagree! With the right accessories, and taken up if it sits too long on you, it will look chic and vintage, Hepburn on a summer holiday.

If you can sew / know someone who can then it'll be v simple to adjust it to fit you beautifully. You could take the sleeves up a bit too if you like. I think it's fab and I want it

I saw that dress in monsoon the other day and thought how lovely it was. Unfortunately it wouldnt be right for my figure.

I don't think its a great cut but with a chunky heel and statement jewellery I don't think it would look "old"

It looks a bit Bon Marche.

Um, my mum would like it. She's in her 80s.
There's much nicer out there to suit you better OP.

I don't think the picture does it justice

Given your proportions, I don't think this is the dress for you.
