I had a dress like that in plain pale grey georgette back in the 1980s, it was by Albert Nipon and I thought it was incredibly sophisticated at the time

It's very like the kind of thing Princess Diana wore in the early years of her marriage or while she was engaged to him.

I quite like it! Blush I'm tall and flat chested and that style would probably look OK.

Yes, if you look like the model. I'd look like a loon. I quite like autograph because in my head I'm tall and thin, but I never actually try any of it on...as the one time I did I had a rude awakening.

When I was teeny (before I started school) my dmother wore something similar in duck egg blue. I loved her in that dress and thought she looked so pretty. She hated the dress after a while as fashion moved on.

I think a tall teen could dress it up as Lemon said. Meanwhile, I won't be rushing out to purchase it.

Very similar to what my 84 year old great grandmother used to wear.
With wrinkly tan tights and slippers.
I do see that in very specific styling situations it could look " rock grunge " but I think you would need to be very tall to pull it off.

I came on to say Miss Marple but I see someone beat me to it.
I quite like the black Zara one but you'd have to be very tall to pull it off. What's new Grin

Viscosey heaven. The dress equivalent of stay press slacks.

Actually I bet my niece would wear something like that although I doubt whether she shops in Marks and Spencers and she wouldn't style it like this. She's also 6 foot tall with no hips.
