Would this be ok for lunches out type dress?

Depends where you're going and who with. Also what body shape you are. I think this would look fantastic on someone petite, with a big hat and vertiginous heels, at a wedding, but for me, ancient, tallish, not so good.
It wouldn't be for me

I'm sort of hour glass/pear
Tried it on and it's a good fit

Very pretty!

I think it's a lovely dress but may be too much for lunches, depending of course on where you go for lunch.

Pretty but OTT for lunches unless they are very formal.

I think it's lovely and would easily suit lots of body types

Ps, where are you going for lunch??!

Hourglass could wear it well IMO. It depends how "posh" you lunch and what others are wearing. You may feel a little dressed up if your fellow diners are more casual chic.

Lunch at a fancy hotel, perfect
Lunch at the garden centre whilst buying compost, too dressy.

Have you tried it on? The mesh description sounds like it might be very sweaty.

A formal lunch, yes. Be careful though, it looks from one of the photos that it isn't lined.

Lovely dress with a beautiful print, but for me it's a bit formal for lunch unless it was a posh family do or similar. But I'm more of the skinny jeans/nice blouse school for lunch so a bit more casual.

It's lovely. I'd wear it out for lunches happily, probably with a denim jacket or a little cardi to make it look a bit more casual. I only wish I had £100 spare to buy it myself!

It's a very pretty dress and As you say it's a good fit. The. What's not love.

I love those Phase 8 dresses. I have three in that sort of style. I am wearing one to a fairly formal lunch on Sunday. They are comfortable, stretchy and very flattering.

I would wear it to lunch. I think it is really pretty.

The pattern's a bit too full-on for me personally (I'm too short) but I'd like it on someone else. I'm not sure about wearing it to lunch - unless it was with the queen but then I just don't have that kind of lifestyle.

I don't have that kind of lifestyle either. I just like dressing up at any opportunity! I wore a dress and heels to the pub last night and everyone else was just in their jeans!

Yes. I think it could work.

i can be an bit of an over dresser, but suppose I should really care if I fit in, and if I like it get it.
I really like the pattern, but I tend to wear a lot of florals
so its quite me
I think a white/cream cardi, might help dress it down, any other ideas that could help dress it down a bit

You could wear it with wedges which would dress it down . Possibly a smart denim jacket too

I really wouldn't wear that with a denim jacket. Neat black cardi if anything will tone it down a bit.

That looks a bit too weddingy to me, lovely dress though. I agree it looks see through from one of the photos.

Yes a neat black cardi would work well I think.

It's only see through at the bottom, you can see there's a slip that stops a couple of inches above the hem.

It is a bit ott for ordinary lunches...
