Be brutal and honest.

Too much skin for 48?

And absolutely no offence taken at all. Comments very much appreciated 😀

Yes.

Oblomov18 · 23/04/2018 15:21

Yes, I'm afraid it is too much skin.

ColinsVeryJolly · 23/04/2018 15:26

You have a banging figure! You could wear anything, but that dress looks a bit 'Rhyl Sunday market'

Enjoy having a look around at some gorgeous clothes you could wear, you'd look great in anything.

RoseWhiteTips · 23/04/2018 15:27

Can’t you wear your hair down?

I’m sorry but despite the good figure you look much older than 48. The dress is dated and pink and green is too sugary a combination. A mutton dressed as lamb look, I’m afraid.

BennyTheBall · 23/04/2018 15:40

You have a fab figure.

As you want comments - your hair is ageing you! Only 48?! It's a bit Babs Windsor. Sorry.

Jesus rose retract your claws!!

StormcloakNord · 23/04/2018 16:21

Dress isn't to my taste, certainly not 'too much skin' though, you look great.

Since you asked for brutal honesty - is there anything you can do about your hair colour? Blush You honestly do look great (and maybe it's just where I'm from) but the hair colour ages you. It's too yellow-y and box blonde. Could you get it toned a bit/get some highlights to bring it up/make it less yellow?

You really do have a cracking figure though!

BadTasteFlump · 23/04/2018 16:22

'Comments very much appreciated' doesn't mean 'slate me'!

Why don't you post a selfie on here Rose so we can all see what perfect looks like.

AfterSchoolWorry · 23/04/2018 16:26

What rose ??

Not true and just very bitchy.

newdocket · 23/04/2018 16:29

omg rose, that is horrible.

i'm not that keen on the dress. you do have a great figure, i think if i were you i'd just for something less 'loud', a bit more pared back.

newdocket · 23/04/2018 16:30

'plump for something less loud' is what i intended to type!!

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 23/04/2018 16:33

You have a fab figure. The dress is ideal for a beach lunch on holidays. Not for London though.

crimsonlake · 23/04/2018 16:37

I think it looks too summery as the weather is due to turn colder. You look great though.

Highhorse1981 · 23/04/2018 16:40

Are you in TW op?

You have a great bod and beautiful smile. Truthfully though, I don’t like the dress and a bit much for late forties

Highhorse1981 · 23/04/2018 16:40

My 5 year old has almost that exact dress

Fairyliz · 23/04/2018 17:07

Sorry I'm another one who thinks its more a holiday dress rather than walking around London dress.

pilates · 23/04/2018 17:20

No, not with your figure

Delatron · 23/04/2018 17:24

I don't think the OP asked for comments about her hair only about the dress.
You might want to take note of the 'I didn't have hair for a while' comment.

OP, you have a fantastic figure and you are in great shape. I agree that dress is fine for a holiday or maybe a super hot day here bit unfortunately it's cooled right down now. Definitely show that figure off though.

Mercurial123 · 23/04/2018 17:42

There's nothing wrong with your hair OP I've been through chemo and my "new" hair was much more frizzy and unmanageable. You have a nice figure your dress isn't that nice.

IfNot · 23/04/2018 18:32

Does she fuck look older than 48! Not that she asked for anyones opinion on that. Why do some people have to get vicious?

skislope · 23/04/2018 18:48

I'm 6 years younger and very jealous of your arms. Think it's a holiday dress really and London has been so cold today!

halfwitpicker · 23/04/2018 18:51

You look good - but as pp's say, leave the dress for vacation. Great arms - mine would never look like that.

Atalune · 23/04/2018 19:00

op I think you’ve been very brave to come on here and post a pic.

I went to the gym tonight- #armgoals Wink

I hope some of the negative and unnecessary comments haven’t upset you. I’d love a head of hAir like yours. I’m in a constant and downsize battle encouraging the 6 stands of hair I have into a style that looks thick!
