No it is not! It is a FABULOUS dress!

I agree that its fab....just dont want to look like I'm trying to look 21, I'm not!

It looks great, why do you think it might be too young? It's frilly but the black stops it from being 'little girly'.

No. I don't like it but it wouldn't make me think someone else shouldn't wear it.

I want it and would wear it if I was smaller of nork. Wear it and enjoy it, it's gorgeous and quirky, rather than young. Just the look I like.

Oh i love it. I am 37 (size 12 and good legs) and would wear it in a heartbeat. In fact i have an xmas party to go to and i may buy it.

My only concern for me would be that I am 5ft 10in, do you think it may be indecently short on me?

It's gorgeous! If you have the legs then definitely get it!!

MrsKoala I imagine the model in the pic is about that height too.

I really like it. Your not too old for it!
It's quirky but at the same time looks good. Go for it!

Go for it - it looks fabulous! If I had an occasion to wear something similar, I would (and I'm 48 )

I don't like it at all, but of course you're not too old for it.

You're not too old for it

But I don't like it. Looks a bit Adams Family Morticia

I think it looks a bit Abigail's party or Penelope Keith from the Good Life.

BUT I don't like frills and flounces, that's just my personal taste, I think it's a perfect dress for someone in their late 30s.

I personally would prefer it if it was Abigails Party orange or a pink like Margo Leadbetter would wear. I think it would look great in a pucci pattern too - the only thing wrong with it for me is the colour. I like this one too and it's a more interesting colour - i may order both and see what i think when on! My mum thinks it would be way too short on me tho :( Curse my tallness.

No, it's lovely. I would wear/would have worn it it at 20 or 38.

Would look great with black opaque tights with a silver sheen on them and silver or black shoes. You could wear a brooch with it or have something in your hair.

i think black opaques would ruin (they ruin it on the model) the look. They really tone down the prettiness of the edging when it sits on the thigh. I would will wear it with nude sheeny tights and red heels and a red clutch. Not sure about jewellery tho hmmm.

I hate black dresses! It's truly vile!

fabulous

Depends when you 'd wear it. It's quite OTT imo, with all the frills and it's not the kind of dress again imo that you could wear often. I don't think you are too old but I don't like it that much- it's very 'girly' and not that great. sorry :(

I think they have overdone the frills- sleeves OR hemline would be lovely, but both is overkill.

Thank you all, what a diverse bunch we are. Its a love/hate thing for this dress. I dont see the frills as girly, more quirky imo but its interesting that thats how others see it.
