Is this dress appropriate for school pick up?

[Collard]

I’m 5 ft 3. Hair as long as models so back is typically covered. Worn with flat nude sandals so very casual.

There are mums in the next street to me picking up in pyjamas and slippers. You'd look posh here

LOL
Are the commenters in your real life from the 1960s

Nothing wrong with it OP, at all.

It’s perfectly fine. I don’t know what your dh and friend are talking about.

Did you wear it back to front?

I do think a lot depends on fit. A dress that looks great on a model looks borderline unacceptable on me because of big boobs. The number of arse cheeks on display in the recent weather is quite something.

But at 5' 3" with long hair, I can't imagine you are showing very much. And even if you are, it's your choice, not your DH's.

It's fine
I would wear that to the supermarket/shops etc so to me anything you would wear in the supermarket is fine for school pick up

On a hot day I'd expect to see bikini tops with hot pants or a short wrap skirt. Or maybe even just a shirt over a bikini. No one cares. Nipples and bottoms are covered.

Boring dress is boring.

If they were they’d probably be less shocked. Maybe they would be surprised at the back on show but it was the age of mini skirts. I was looking through my mil’s photo albums once and I have never seen so much legs! Even her sister who became a nun not long after had a mini skirt on.

Not true
My kids attended a Catholic primary school
and mini dresses, leggings and shorts were worn by many at pickup

It looks fine to me. I am not sure what your husband and friends are thinking about. It does not need a jacket.

My mum wore micro minis in the 1960s

It’s lovely.
however I do agree that British people especially have fucked up views on backless = braless - the shock horror of a woman out in public not wearing a bra 🙄
go for it!

Smacks of jealousy. Wear it, enjoy it and ignore the comments.

You wouldn't from the catholic school I went🤔

The dress is absolutely fine op

What was the comment from DH that pushed you into such a frenzy to google the dress, ask multiple friends and post here? Sounds like the problem is your controlling husband not your outfit.

Yes it's fine. Why?

I mean I'd probably say that if it was hot sunny weather and I was worried about your back burning. Hurts like hell.

Otherwise, no.

Looks fine to me.

Theres all sorts gets worn by the parents at my DC’s school. Including outfits that are far skimpier and far more casual than that dress.

Totally fine!

The dress looks fine OP. Round my way it's very common to wear those leggings that go right up your bum crack. Sometimes flesh coloured as well... 😬

I wish it was warm enough to wear that here. Raining again!

It’s fine. Wear what you like!

Your husband sounds controlling - is this the first time he has made this sort of remark?

If your bum, tits and genitals aren't on show I can't see why anyone would care.
