Are my dresses unreasonable for the school run?

I wore the black dress yesterday (see pics) and got a filthy stare off a woman pushing a buggy on the school pick up. I don't think I had my kids with me at that point. I later wore the dress to a Christian youth group, in fact I wore it to the office earlier the same day and it seemed fine. Today I had both kids on the way to school, I was wearing the dark red dress with a black cardigan. I got another long glare from the same woman, it was her staring that made me realise it was her again! I wouldn't wear the dark red dress to the office and I have pinned it to make it less low on the bust. They are both soft jersey dresses. But are they really that bad and does it make a difference whether I'm a mother or on the school run as to whether these outfits are appropriate?

MNHQ - why is this zombie on Discussions of the Day?

It's not on Discussion of the Day, just on Trending, which I assume is auto-generated, simply picking up on this thread because we all keep commenting in a short space of time!

Like several others I was thinking "she must be freezing in those dresses in this weather"... then I saw someone had mentioned suncream which made me look at the date - not just the wrong month, the wrong year.
Are you an archeologist @Knightsbridge ?

She was a jealous cow who also has no manners (otherwise she would have looked discretely). Stare right back until she reverts her eye.
