I am 41
5 11
Size 10/12

Tried it on yesterday and liked it in a retro 70's type way.
However felt maybe it was a bit young for me.
And if you like it, what shoes???

Thanks

It's not to my taste. I think the brown on white is too harsh, and it's pretty shapeless.

Erm, no.

I think it could look great with tanned legs, stacked wedges and one piece of jewelry, but could easily verge into frump territory.

Not too young and if you're 5' 11", think you could go for it if you're happy to bare your legs!

Not keen its a bit shapeless and old fashioned. Quite like this denim dress though m.marksandspencer.com/mt/www.marksandspencer.com/tencel-denim-shirt-dress/p/p22371433

Reminds me of the shower scene out of Psycho.

Thanks all
Honesty appreciated Smile
back to the drawing board
The demon one is nice, but looks awful on me.

Marks and Spencer's webisrie is shite to be honest, they could make couture look like a ragbag, it takes a skill to do find the hidden gems!!

Give us your size, height, colouring and price range and tell us where you'd wear the dress and we can help you find something nicer.

It's one of those dresses thAt would be stunning on the right person but horrible on the wrong person.
Why not buy it. And and let us see you wearing it.
If it does look horrendous not the end of the world. Just take it back.

Its not too young for you. It a hard colour to pull off but if its the right colour for you it could look well. I could see it with Orla Kiely shoes.

Plateofcrumbs · 03/04/2015 16:24

Well I Iike it! Although I don't think I'd buy it on practicality grounds as i don't think it would work with tights and it is a bit short for bare legs.

Much cooler than the other dresses people have linked as alternatives!
