I have a couple of do's coming up (christening and 40th lunch party) I like this dress so any thoughts? I'm 5'2, 45 and size 12. Perhaps with navy blazer?

Not sure tbh. If you are at all norky it could be v clingy and unflattering across the chest, I suspect. Also, it looks like the fabric might be quite 'sweaty' especially if it gets warmer again. I think you could get something nicer for the price tbh.

Really sorry but I think it looks unflatterning and boring you did ask

You could get something much nicer for that price.

You'd have to try it on.
Hard to tell from the pic.

Well, I'm going to go against the rest of the thread. I like the dress. I tried it on last month, and liked it, but didn't like it enough to buy at full price. Now it's in the sale...

Good points for me - fits well, slip means it doesnt cling. Flattering.

Bad points- I like pale colours, and wear far too much grey, I like this but did have a little voice in my ear saying "isn't it a bit, well, grey?". It is quite a heavy material and I wondered, as a spring dress if it would be a bit sweaty.

But, this in might for the sale price... Race you for the 12..

Don't really like it, the colour/fabric look quite dull, and it would definitely be unflattering on me, I think.

Agree about going to try it on though, you never know it might look better in real life than in the pic, and it depends on your figure.

It's ok but I think it could look a bit boring/work like with a navy blazer. There are a lot of nicer coloured blazers in the shops at the moment though. My other thought is that if you're 5' 2" it could end up being a bit of a frumpy length on you.

Hmmm. Didn't see the 5'2". Still think could be good, with heels - the skirt flares just a little so it falls nicely. I'm 5'8" though and it was a modest knee length on me though (but I do have an unusually long body and stumpy legs)

Ilike it but your height might be an issue....shame it is not 3/4 length sleeve i think as that would make it more suitable for spring

Sorry, I agree with Bohica. Not a very flattering shade of grey and true about the fabric could make you feel sweaty (now the weather's warming up), especially if you are thinking of wearing a blazer over it!
