I wouldn't wear it at any age because for me it's a bit too 'I'm mad me! I'm a bit zany! When I grow old I shall wear purple!'. It looks fine on you.

DBD1975 · 22/06/2024 14:25

For me about 5, however, you look fabulous, you rock it, you go girl!

Nellieinthebarn · 22/06/2024 14:28

Well personally, I'd never wear them. But that's because my legs look like they were put together by a committee, and the rest of me is just kind of round. If I had the legs and figure, I'd wear them now. I'm 60.

Maybe for a festival or something outdoorsy in summer, but the print is kind of childish. Cute though. And yeah, it would only work on someone fairly slim. So I guess if I looked like the person in the photo in it, maybe late 30s? Again only for the right occasion though. A kids party?

NotSoHotMess24 · 22/06/2024 14:33

Love the print, unfortunately I look like a suet pudding in a playsuit...

I have some lovely "matchy matchy" dresses from Picalilly, which have toddler prints on which I ADORE. Get that it's not to everyone's taste though.

BuggeryBumFlaps · 22/06/2024 14:34

I'm 51, if I was a size 10 then I'd wear it in a heartbeat, but at a size 18 I'd not wear it, but only due to the length

newfriend05 · 22/06/2024 14:37

I think clothes are very much about the vibe of the person .. and looking at your photo I would say you pull it off .. it suits you .. it has nothing to do with age

You look great. Fabulous legs! Mine are saggy at the knees these days☹️

Newtrix · 22/06/2024 14:46

I'm 38 would absolutely wear it, I absolutely love it. Where's it from?

pandasorous · 22/06/2024 14:46

dinosaurs are for all ages

johnworf · 22/06/2024 14:48

I would wear it now at 57....and beyond.

If you like it then wear it. Screw what others think.

BlackFriYay · 22/06/2024 14:49

I'm 30 and I wear clothes just like that. If people think that romper is childish they should see my wardrobe 😂

Dungarees with rainbows on, mini pini dresses with dinosaurs etc.

Wear what makes you happy.

MrsDeaconClaybourne · 22/06/2024 14:50

Never, if I liked it and wanted to wear it. The older I get the less I care about what anyone might think!

ODFOx · 22/06/2024 14:51

If my thighs weren't unshowable I'd wear that. I love a fun print, and have several print dresses. 60s.

purpleme12 · 22/06/2024 13:44

I don't think you can put an exact age on it.
Regardless of age, some people can pull that off and some people can't.

This
i’m 46 and wish I could pull it off, but couldn’t

Prawncow · 22/06/2024 13:51

It’s just the print that I wouldn’t wear, not the style.

Same. I think that print is a toddler print, but the garment shape is nice.

TheSquareMile · 22/06/2024 15:01

It's not something I would wear myself as I prefer dresses and full 50s style skirts, but there's no reason why a woman of any age should stop wearing something just because someone else thinks she shouldn't.

If you like it, keep wearing it as long as you want to.

Mustreadabook · 22/06/2024 15:02

I love the print, and don't see why dinosaurs are less acceptable than flowers. I'd wear it my a larger size as a dress though!

Timeturnerplease · 22/06/2024 15:02

If I had your legs I’d wear play suits everyday in the summer. Cool like a dress, yet practical for running around after the kids.

Sadly, my thighs only approach a normal size when the rest of me is very underweight, so I shall continue to be either inconvenienced by dresses or hot in other clothing.

twentysevendresses · 22/06/2024 15:10

If I had your figure I'd wear that now and I'm 60 - however I'm a size 18 and would look utterly ridiculous 😢

You, however, are rocking it 🤟🏻

Bbq1 · 22/06/2024 15:11

Whenever you want.
Age is just a number
If something suits you and you like it, wear it. There's isn't an arbitrary age that anyone should stop wearing specific items if clothing. You look great.

StuckInHove · 22/06/2024 15:15

I would wear that! Your legs are amazing and you’re rocking the outfit. I’m 45 x

SaulHudsonDavidJones · 22/06/2024 15:20

I wouldn't ever wear it, I'm not into twee clothing and prefer to dress as an adult
