I'm thinking of buying this outfit for my grandma's 90th birthday party next month, and wearing it again for the work summer party (I'm a teacher in a primary school). AIBU?

Top and skirt

That’s really classy. Definitely go for it.

Could you get a shrug to cover your shoulders?

Lovely colours Smile

It's lovely but think about how uncomfortable you might be wearing all that fabric in this warm weather.

A nice bolero style jacket for if it turns cooler and you are all done 👍

Very classy.

I would actually wear it for work too. Maybe with a string of pearls to tone it down a bit.

Do you need help with shoes?

I you are the games teacher

MissConductUS · 26/05/2019 18:19

A bit twee, isn't it?

peigi · 26/05/2019 18:21

A bit frumpy imo

Do they do a cut out version of the top? If not, do it lace up at the back? If so, twizzle it round and lace up front like bustier. Just to give it a little lift.

Ffsnosexallowed · 26/05/2019 18:22

It's a bit mumsy

BlueCornishPixie · 26/05/2019 18:23

I think it's more of a work outfit than a party? Could you jazz it up a bit with some bright accessories?

IShitGlitter · 26/05/2019 18:23

Definitely it's a great choice!

UnaCorda · 26/05/2019 18:24

There's a problem: my grandma has now seen this chic ensemble and wants to get herself one for her party. I really don't want to steal her thunder...

Maybe a bit bright, perhaps this would be classier:

Is this the right link?Confused

BottleOfJameson · 26/05/2019 18:28

Might be a bit too conservative.

PurpleDaisies · 26/05/2019 18:28

That might be a bit sweaty for a summer party jammie. Perfect otherwise...

edwinbear · 26/05/2019 18:29

I think you need to cut out the other side and lace down there too, then it will be perfect.

Thanks for posting - that is exactly what I need for my academic conference presentation in Saudi after Eid

Jammiebammie · 26/05/2019 18:30

Hmm you’re right, it might steam up a bit...

checkingforballoons · 26/05/2019 18:33

I think for a party you could get away with a shorter skirt
