Thoughts please.... I liked it but worried it'll be lost in a sea of sequins

Depends. I wore a really plain dress last il year but with a fab necklace. Is it your usual style? What's the quality of the lace like?

That looks lovely. With a bit of bling for jewelry - earrings and a nice bag with it. Shame I cannot wear something so short or high necked :(

There are nicer lace dresses out there, TBH. This for example.

Yes, now that one is gorgeous tether.

OP, I just ordered this which is similar. I'm not sure if it's "me", though (and I'll need shoes...).

Does it come in other colours? At all the parties I go to nearly all the ladies wear black and it's the ones in colours like red or electric blue who look the best.

I like the dress, provided the lace is good quality and doesn't look too flammable - but my feeling is that lace dresses have had their day.

this? you could wear it on other occasions too.

Mother, I'm worried about that too.

Although they are all over the shops.

I agree with the comments, lace dresses are everywhere, I just thought this one was a bit different, it's a really open lace and a good shape on me. I'm tall and a size 12 apple with big boobs, my legs are probably my best feature. Red, electric blue and emerald green are my best colours, and I have seriously saggy mum tum which needs hidden... Any ideas? Budget up to around £100 for something fab but ideally less so I can have a new clutch too.

No better suggestions than those above, but just wanted to say, if you are tall and a size 12, how saggy can your stomach really be?? Not very, I suspect!

I'm more a 12-14 but a 12 in the dress I linked to. Very saggy actually, like an empty bag, overhanging and covered in stretch marks so deep they can be seen through thin/clingy fabric if you must know :(

Have you seen this?

Similar shape to the one you were looking at, but not lace - and Cheap. As. Chips.
I would say, though, that usually the larger-norked among us aren't best flattered by a high neck, even if tall. See Tess Daly on Strictly, who always looks as though her boobs are growing out of her stomach despite her height - though that's partly due to poor posture I think.

I don't think lace dresses will ever date- they are classic in a way. I hope so because I spent a lot for one last year for a wedding evening do and have not worn it since.
I do think it's important to get a good quality one which doesn't look like a nightie, though.
