Okay, ladies, I need you to hitch up those judgey pants and give me your honest opinions...

On this dress?

I saw it today in the shop and am strangely drawn to it, but I can't decide if it's frumpy or not. It makes me think of Beryl Reid in Entertaining Mr Sloane/The Killing of Sister George - and if I'm old enough to remember those film, I'm probably too old to wear it..:(

If we decide it's not frumpy, how would you wear it? Opaques and heels? Any jewellery?

If it helps, I'm a size 12-14 (probably a 14 in Oasis), have an apple shape but great legs for my advanced years (44).

Too young for me? I like it because of the sleeves (can't bare the upper arms these days, I don't quite have bingo wings but they aren't exactly toned...)

Um, don't mean my knees are shaped like toddlers. That would be weird. Shaped like a toddler's knees. Chubby.

Miss Clavel would love it if she wasn't some sort of nun.

I vote for NextMrsDepp's. The neckline is just better.

I don't like it myself; think it would look better if you did a Gok Wan remaking jobbie and yanked off the sleeves.

Sorry. Meant that about the Oasis dress. The Warehouse one is just lovely.

Menagerie I I'm glad you clarified the knees. Your first post made my drink come out of my nose. :o

OP - lovely dress. Definitely not too young.
