I fear my friends are being kind, so be brutally honest...

Does this look good, bad, awful? Too short? Too long? Too black, too boring? Too rectangular?

Thanks.

I'm petite and think that's a good length on you

I thought it looked great but just needed a bright accessory. But, I am old, and don't have a pulse to put a finger on!

Thanks Hilda, that one is really nice I’ll keep an eye for it when I go shopping tomorrow and give it a try.

The trousers are too short OP. I'm only 5 3 myself, but I have two jumpsuits both from River Island and they're quite flattering (I think!) I bought them last year, but the link below is something similar. I'm between a 6 and an 8, but bought the 6 as I felt the 8 was a big too big on the hips/thighs.

It'd look better in a smaller size I think.

It is a no fro me. The material looks cheap especially on the bottom half and the shape isn’t structured enough and makes you look quite round around your stomach area which I don’t think you really are. You need more structure from the waist down.

Beautiful! (It has pockets too!!! What's not to like?!) Wear a big chuncky silver necklace with it. I think I prefer the black shoes - they are more elegant - but if you are partying, go with the silver shoes.

Shirley that one would be too clingy. I do have a significant muffin top Grin

It was from Wallis, which I’ve always thought was far too old for me (at 35 Blush, need to get over myself!)

I like it from waist down. I don't like the top half Blush

Top bit fine but it all goes wrong from the waist down. You can do better imo

I was linking it thinking they will all say I'm mad Grin but if you can't wear sequins at Christmas, when can you!

Where was yours from? You know it's the right length so maybe another option from same brand could work?

The sequin one is gorgeous, but it’s not going to be made for a short arse like me.

LOVE the sequin jumpsuit!!!

At 5’2” I think the 70s vibe one would swamp OP but the sequin one could be gorgeous

Ignoring the sequins and velvet (I'm trying to find an example!)
It's a bit in between leg shape wise

More fitted in the leg like this http://www.very.co.uk/v-by-very-sequin-jumpsuit/1600198237.prd

Or a distinct wide leg like this

It’s for my Christmas night out. I have a similar black wrap dress, which is mid length and the one time i’ve worn it I felt that I looked like a brick shithouse!

The jumpsuit is shorter on the model, but I’m not quite 5ft 2, although this is the petite version.

Yep, send it back - you've got a lovely figure. Anything else would look loads better

I like it but I think it's a tiny bit too short in the leg for you, which is not particularly flattering. Wish I had your figure!

Ollivander84 · 07/12/2017 22:26

No. But I think the v neck works well, so if you cut the photo off just under your boobs, that area looks fab. The middle bit is adding bulk and the trousers a bit short and too wide
I would look for a v neck one with slimmer cut to it

Yeah, even the other shoes dont help. You're too young for it OP.

To be fair, the top part looks ok so probably a wrap dress would look lovely on you?

What’s the occasion and can we help you find something?

Tried it with my only closed toe black shoes. The buckle is silver and I can’t change it, it’s sown in.

It’s back in the bag with the return form filled in Sad

Thanks though!
