Grin wow ! , thats some dress ! would look great with tights and heels ! if you have the figure , then your not too old imo.

but im jusy a tiny bit Envy

Sorry but imo, while that dress would look amazing on a nubile 20-something fashionista or model, it would scream 'mutton' on a 37 year old regardless of good figure.

droves · 23/09/2010 12:43

nah , i dont think so bunny.....not on every 37 yr old... and it would depend on makeup hair footwear and accessories .
With the right stuff it would look great.

Oooohhhh...I am 39 myself and think look relatively youthful but this one is a bit on the young racy side. I wouldn't wear it.

But as droves said with the right shoes etc. you might just get away with it.

FranSanDisco · 23/09/2010 13:43

Where's the rest of it? You won't keep your kidneys warm in that Wink.

madeindevon2 · 23/09/2010 14:03

hahaha actually it does look more racy in the picture than in RL.
plus im not very tall so its not that short on me.
my dh gave it the thumbs up i just have to make sure i wear the right tights/shoes with it i reckon to get away with it
and make sure i walk tall and confident in it!

i have an inkling it might look nice with a skinny polo neck longsleves underneath it ...
leather , when worn with wool looks nice imo.

Fimbo · 23/09/2010 15:37

Suprisingly I actually like it but you would need to make sure you wore it with good quality accessories/shoes etc. Equally it would look hideous with dyed blond root showing hair.

I imagine it on someone like Flavia Cacccaaaaawhatever from Strictly wheres as Kristina Rhianoff would look like a callgirl in it.

madeindevon2 · 23/09/2010 17:15

i liking your ideas yeah. i like leather with wool too.
i have short dark hair. (bob like)
thanks
agreed have to have right shoes... wrong ones and i will look like a lady of the night.....

tethersend · 23/09/2010 17:42

I like this one

snoozathon · 23/09/2010 17:47

That dress is beautiful tethers. Not sure about the Reiss one i'm afraid, a bit call-girl for me.

topsi · 23/09/2010 18:19

Think it could be done but you would have to be very careful not to look like a cheap bar maid! It does need softening, agree with the wool idea. Deffo not with cheap shoes, fishnets etc etc.
The denim jacket down the bottom is lovely!
