Am I too old for this summer dress?

user1497886612 · 19/06/2017 17:20

Am I too old for a dress like this? I am 44 and I have lost a lot of weight recently. So I have not bought a nice dress for a long while. I have to go to a wedding in a couple of weeks and I like this one and the website was recommended to me by a friend. But I am not sure if it is a little young for me. Advice please!

Not at all looks lovely enjoy!

Purplepotatoe · 19/06/2017 17:25

No such thing as being too old for something!

Teacupinastorm · 19/06/2017 17:26

Not at all! It looks lovely!

mrsBeverleygoldberg · 19/06/2017 20:17

No, it's lovely.

Upsideout · 19/06/2017 21:05

Beautiful dress, you'll look lovely.

Bluntness100 · 19/06/2017 21:08

Honestly? I think the opposite you're too young for it. I'm three years older and I wouldn't wear that. I'd expect my mother in law to. Sorry op.

SaltySalt · 19/06/2017 21:09

I'm 44 and I think the dress is too old

MorrisZapp · 19/06/2017 21:10

What bluntness said. It's a pretty dress but if anything it's on the 'classic' side.

UsedToBeAPaxmanFan · 19/06/2017 21:12

I wouldn't expect anyone under 75 to wear that dress. Sorry.

defineme · 19/06/2017 21:13

It's very classic and a bit 50s,not young at all, but pretty! Have you been going out in twinsets?

Andcake · 19/06/2017 21:13

I'm 45 and think it's too old 😳

Funnyfarmer · 19/06/2017 21:15

Blue or green one?
Not that it makes any difference. I'm just curious.
It's a very nice dress. I think it could be pulled of at any age.

PacificDogwod · 19/06/2017 21:15

I'm 51 and that dress is way too old for me

Funnyfarmer · 19/06/2017 21:16

I think the green one is nicer.

AgathaF · 19/06/2017 21:17

I'm not keen on it either. Nothing to do with age though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/06/2017 21:19

I love the green one.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 19/06/2017 21:20

Yes, I think the dress is too old, too.

Sittinginthesun · 19/06/2017 21:22

I'm 46, and own a similar dress, which I love. I also had an almost identical dress when I was 20, which I wore with DMs.

Malfoyy · 19/06/2017 21:22

I came on to say that I think it's a dress for someone about 15 years older as I'm about your age and wouldn't wear that for this reason! PP have beaten me to it but the point remains

tigerdriverII · 19/06/2017 21:23

Too young for that! I'm 55 and wouldn't be going near it with a barge pole

Confusedandintrigued · 19/06/2017 21:25

Too old?

I'd say you were about 20 years too young for it

SinglePringle · 19/06/2017 21:27

What the others said - I looked at it and thought it the dress of a classically minded 70 something.

AnniesShop · 19/06/2017 21:29

I’m a much more mature woman and I’d def wear that.

Ojoj1974 · 19/06/2017 21:31

It's gorgeous and certainly not too old for it. It's a classic style which you can make young and carefree or sophisticated and elegant

MabelFurball · 19/06/2017 22:11

Yes it's a lovely dress and not too young or old.
