I've really wanted this dress for months...AND...I'm 60 in November xx

[SusanHodge1964]

What do I do...except bite the bullet and buy the blooming thing WHICH I will wear and not just on my 60th BIRTHDAY (I'm of the punk generation, except I was more into Rock music). Apart from both of my wedding dresses...I paid for the second one...this "Dandelion Michael Kors Mini Dress" is the most expensive dress I will ever fork out for.!!! However I will wear it on my 60th birthday and beyond...AND...stick it in the washing machine EVEN if the label recommends "dry clean only".

i can justify this amount of money for a mere item of clothing and I will ENJOY wearing it LOTS...and LOTS...and LOTS...and machine washing the blooming thing...Thank you xx

BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT!!

you’ll regret not buying it more than you will if you don’t buy it. Life is too short ❤️

Same here- remove the headdress and the greenery.

YES YES YES, BUY IT

It's hardly Punk Rick to buy and then trash an expensive dress because you won't be dictated to by the fabric care label.

Really? I don't know many 40 year olds who'd put their real name and birth year in a user name on an internet forum. 🙈

It's like net curtains.

I think it would be worth dry cleaning

This, surely?!

I like the one @SabreIsMyFave and others showed. But I think you would need to be pretty slim to pull it off. It would be helpful to see. Yellow is a summery colour, but I wouldn't let that stop you.

I had this in pink in 1967 when I was 14.

It was just my gut reaction, it wasn't that deep.

And it brought a minute amount of joy because it was by far the most Thanks I've got on a comment in ages 😂

Just to add I think if you want to spend £2k on a short bright dress at 60 or 70 or 90 I think that's fab. But if I was your friend I'd mention that it looked like a £30 dress so you could buy a £2k dress that looked like a £2k dress.

You and 34 other people!

🤗

That looks so 1960's!

OMG did you ever hear the saying "If you can't say anything nice keep your f mouth shut"?

Some women in their 60's are very slim - It is a young person's style, but quite hard to carry off as someone out of their teens, no matter how willowy they are {That's just my opinion though}

I mean - it’s a pretty cool birthday. Get it!

I think that colour and cut is really hard to pull off regardless of age, shape, size, colouring etc.

However, if you want it, love it, can afford it, then buy it and wear it.

Definitely buy it but don’t put it in the washing machine if it says not to!!!

Enjoy it and look after it 😁

I agree. These dresses, including the bell sleeve mini dress (in your post from 21.36 today,) are nice dresses to be fair. (Although I can't imagine them being comfortable to be seated in, as they're so short!) But they really do need a slim figure, and are really not going to suit anyone of 60. And I say that as someone who is not far off that age.

I don't know one single woman over 50 who would wear these dresses. Let alone 60! Nope. And all the women I know in this age group are not 'old fashioned' or frumpy, but they would just never wear any of these dresses. I have never seen any 50+ woman wear anything like this. (Except maybe outrageous 'famous' women, who are desperate for attention.)

Good grief, get a grip. It's just someone's opinion. And FWIW I agree with @harrumphh !

Ah, Punk Rick - I knew him well.

PunkDave was his mate right? And PunkTracey his wife???

That's a cream version of my wedding dress, £3 5sh from Richards in the sale, 1968.

I want to see the dress.

Indeed. This is all pointless without a picture of the dress.
