Do i dress like an old lady?

Do I dress like an old lady? I’m 42 and yes I’m aware I need a new bra and I have a fitting for one next week

Forgot pic

How would we know?

Sorry, pic wasn’t up when I posted. Looks ok to me.

Um not 0ld lady no. Those dresses are quite fashionable now, more that one does nothing for you.

No you look lovely, nice and cool

What is this supposed to mean? What is a dress supposed to do for her?

Looks fine to me, presume it’s cool and flowing. What’s the issue?

You need a decent bra, (Please tell me not M&S) the dress isn’t ‘old lady’. Old ladies can wear what they want anyway.

Not really. But it’s hard to tell based on only one outfit.

It’s not old lady, it’s more there could be something out there more flattering for you. I can safely say that dress would do nothing for me and I’m also mid 40’s but might suit some of my friends.

Well I'm an old lady and the outfit you have on isn't one I'd wear, but you look perfectly ok to me (but then I'm old so what would I know? )

No you don't dress like an old lady and I actually think you look lovely.

I don’t think you’re dressed like an old lady no, but I can’t see why an old lady couldn’t wear the dress either

What does an old lady dress like?

In my opinion that is not a very flattering ensemble, it is rather dull and boring and doesn't do you any favours but if you like it and feel comfortable in it that is what counts.

No, it's just a nice run-of-the-mill Summer dress which looks lovely on you.

I'm not really sure what you think 'old ladies' wear though?

I work with an all female team of elderly volunteers and they all wear very different styles, just as people of all ages do.

You look lovely and nice dress xx

Personally I think dresses like that look frumpy

It’s not old lady clothes.

it is hanging around the house it’s far too bloody hot clothes.

I've never seen an 'old lady' dressed like that.

Well, old ladies don't tend to wear spaghetti straps, but they are fond of pastels.

No one can answer that from one picture in a sundress. I presume someone has said something to you and it’s upset you?

It’s very easy to take criticism badly (I do) but sometimes it’s an opportunity to reflect on yourself. Do you feel your clothes reflect your best you? Is there something you love yourself in - why is that?

The bottom line is that no one’s opinion matters but your own.

Basically it’s a new dress I got today so sent a pic to 3 or 4 friends, 2 commented needing a bra, everyone liked apart from this one friend who said I dress like an old lady and as a friend she has seen what I usually wear so other dresses etc she’s obv seen me wearing and apparently I just have old lady taste nowadays

It just looks like a normal dress you’d find on the high street at the moment. Not ‘old lady’, no. Where is it from?

You look fine…. if you like it and are comfortable in it then wear it… at the end of the day people are more worried about themselves to have an opinion on you in your dress…

I think it looks nice - its quite casual so possibly not what Id wear to event if thats what you had in mind. Wouldnt suit me because my upper arms cant really carry off strappy dresses and the bra issue would be too much of an inconvenience.
