I'm 43 and I bought this dress for my school reunion

[CuriousCrissyRock4QueenMama]

This one and my mum was a bit shocked. I'm size 14, 5ft 8" and hour glass, bit of a tum, but my legs are good/slim. I thought it'd be ok seen as I'm only showing legs not tits? Also I don't look my age get told mid 30s? Will tights be ok? Am thinking of wearing shoe/boots? It looks a lot better on tbh. Oh and I paid £25 today instore when it says £20 online, wish I'd known as sometimes they give you online price?

I think it's very nice nad would look good with either.Make sure they are dressy.

Oh thanks I feel better now Dp likes it too.

It has sparkly bits all through it they don't show on there?

Also I don't look my age get told mid 30s?

What age are you? I assume a great deal younger - as you run your clothes purchases past your Mum?

Isn't it the duty of mothers to curl their lips at their daughter's fashions?

I would ignore her - I am sure it looks very nice.

No I don't run them past her I just told her the length of it and she was shocked You should read thread titles

She's usually with it just think she thinks women who wear short dresses/skirts are mutton? She has a much younger OH and feels her age sometimes may just be a bit of

Oh ha haaa! yes, I should seriously read the thread titles. Don't blame me, blame the cheese on toast I was scarfing concentrating on!

I would wear it with dark tights and high heeled black shoes (I don't really think boots).

Thanks GetOrf you're right.

That's ok bibbity. Was just watching Kylie today and she's my age, albeit half the size

It's fine. Kind of studenty. I think that style is meant to be worn with leggings or opaque tights - that's what all the students are wearing anyway. Might look a bit nightie-ish with sheer tights. Far too trendy for me though. I only ever wear 1950s style pencil skirts and pencil or A-line mini skirts - and I'm only 34!

Yes was thinking opaque tights. I've been sorting through clothes and just found 3 fab dresses so may wear one of those after all?
