this dress

Just out of interest ...

Do you like the dress? How it's styled?

And what age is this look for?'

Im 42 and I'd wear this, not sure if that helps!

Berrybakecake1 · 16/09/2017 23:30

I'm 33 and I'd wear this with opaque tights or leggings and knee high black boots. If that helps.

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 16/09/2017 23:31

I'm 50 and wouldn't.

It's probably aimed at my age group but it's not to my taste - it seems dated.

NotTheDuchessOfCambridge · 16/09/2017 23:34

I'm 38 and I'd wear this how it is.

TheOriginalMagratGarlik · 16/09/2017 23:36

Dress is a nice typical work-wear dress. I'd probably wear it. I'm mid-40s. It's not very different or exciting, but it's safe (not too low on the boobs, not to short, no shoulders showing) and hence typical work-wear.

EnglishGirlApproximately · 16/09/2017 23:37

I agree, if wear it for work with opaque tights, suede pumps and s jacket

Puffpaw · 16/09/2017 23:40

I'd wear it to work with opaques and flat black boots

Dustbunny1900 · 16/09/2017 23:42

Not crazy about the print it looks too busy and kind of dowdy (just my first impression)
It could be nice in a solid color with tights, boots, and chunky bracelets..maybe a leather jacket. Seems like it could be a great versatile piece if ordered in a more neutral color

nodogsinthebedroom · 16/09/2017 23:49

I really like the style but the cut/material wouldn't flat my lumps and bumps so I wouldn't wear it.

nodogsinthebedroom · 16/09/2017 23:50

I'm 35 btw.

MrsCK · 16/09/2017 23:51

I'm in my 20s and I would wear it with black flats or with boots to go to work. I'm a teacher.

Judydreamsofhorses · 16/09/2017 23:55

It's not my cup of tea and I'd never choose it, but if I was gifted it I would wear it to work with black opaques and ankle boots. I'm 44.

ujerneyson · 16/09/2017 23:57

I'd wear it for work if I had absolutely nothing else in the wardrobe but it's really dull and uninspiring.

BillywigSting · 16/09/2017 23:58

I'm late twenties and would wear it with black opaques and ankle boots, maybe a blazer or leather jacket. Probably for something like office wear.

Joinourclub · 17/09/2017 00:00

All a bit boring?

I'd wear similar shape dresses and ankle books/ opaque tights to work, but I'm not keen on the floral pattern.

Joinourclub · 17/09/2017 00:05

Hmmm I thought it was jersey initially but is it that horrible shiny stretchy stuff that m and s love?

KittyConCarne · 17/09/2017 00:05

I like it- the style would be suitable for office-wear, and I'd wear it if I was the right shape for it.
I'm 33 and I'd assume it's for vaguely around my age group.

Nettletheelf · 17/09/2017 00:46

First impression: yawn.

Views on styling: bar the boots, it's a bit Kate Middleton (not an endorsement). It's safe looking, and when I see people in this sort of thing I assume that they have chosen it to blend in and because they think it will be easy to wash!

oldlaundbooth · 17/09/2017 01:03

I absolutely love this dress!

I'd wear it with heels for work or boots at weekend.

I'm 35 if it matters.

kali110 · 17/09/2017 01:50

In my 30's, don't like it.
Don't like the shape, looks like it would only be flattering for small sizes, and the pattern is too fussy.

Mominatrix · 17/09/2017 06:41

Mid 40s and I'd wear this as an everyday kind of dress. It looks comfortable and easy to wear.

Herja · 17/09/2017 06:44

37 - 55. I really don't like the boots, oretain the dress very much either actually. It's safe and inoffensive, but in a way that just doesn't please me.

BorisTrumpsHair · 17/09/2017 07:28

Print is hideous. Shape is ok.

I'm 49.

Spudlet · 17/09/2017 07:30

I'm 35, I'd wear that for work. Black opaque tights and flat black boots with it.

imjessie · 17/09/2017 07:32

I'm nearly 43 and I would only wear it with black ankle boots and a leather jacket . I'm not very good at adulting though .
