Do you think this would be nice for a wedding guest? I am 40, but have always thought of phase 8 as "older" and a bit staid. However it fits nicely and was really well reduced. Also, if I keep it, I wont have to traipse around town trying more things on. I was considering gold or black shoes and dont think it needs jewellery... But am open to suggestions for shoes/accessories

Really like it-it's classy & won't date. You could accessorise with gold shoes etc

toffeeboffin · 19/07/2017 01:33

Love it.

It's very flattering and won't date as onynx said.

ohms11 · 19/07/2017 01:43

Good. Glad you like it. My mum liked it too, but I didnt know if she was taking my age into account or if she kind of fancied it for herself!

That is beautiful.

poppy2021 · 19/07/2017 01:50

Is it black. If so I wouldn't wear it to a wedding. It's not that I don't like it, I think it's lovely.

ohms11 · 19/07/2017 01:58

No Poppy, it is not black... It is green.... Bottle green,

Love it

poppy2021 · 19/07/2017 18:18

That's ok then. Jazz it up with bright accessories Have a lovely time

TerfwithaNerf · 19/07/2017 18:21

I think it's lovely. Really classy and a beautiful, unusual colour.

A bronzey-gold shoe would look great (rather than a shiny yellow-gold iyswim).

Maybe a nice cuff for jewellery as it doesn't really lend itself to a necklace.

NotYoda · 19/07/2017 18:21

Phase Eight is great for 40-somethings because they have a selection of stuff that's not too short and for people with bosoms

As long as the colour suits you, go for it.

SaveMeBarry · 19/07/2017 18:24

I actually love that dress, think I may order it too!

namechange20050 · 19/07/2017 18:25

Bloody hell that is a great frock! May buy one myself...

namechange20050 · 19/07/2017 18:25

Definitely gold accessories

Store it folded up in a drawer

It will last for years that way

MyfatheristheKing · 19/07/2017 18:26

It's lovely :)

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 19/07/2017 18:27

That goes for all the tapework dresses

wobblywonderwoman · 19/07/2017 18:27

I want it!! Definately get it. You could get a floral clutch or gold and you will get loads of wear from it. Imagine it at Christmas .. Lovely too

SunsetBeetch · 19/07/2017 18:29

It's gorgeous

Dailystuck71 · 19/07/2017 18:35

Lovely.

Nettletheelf · 19/07/2017 19:24

It's a yay from me. Phase 8 a bit patchy but this is one of their winners.

Shockers · 19/07/2017 19:27

It's lovely!

Autocorrect changed lovely to Liverpool then... it's definitely not Liverpool.

Cakes2Shakes · 19/07/2017 19:29

This dress is gorgeous! Could always have a bright coloured clutch to go with it too, will make it a bit more playful
