Dress to wear for wedding - too young for me?

35 replies

Feelingoldandpastit · 05/05/2019 21:47

Excuse my bedroom. It’s rarely tidy. Anyway - am I too old for this dress?! (36)
I want to look nice. It’s a family wedding and everyone else will look beautiful. They have time and money that I do not have. However this dress is new and not something I’d usually choose.

It’s a Lipsy dress.
I tend to wear dresses with a tighter top and a flouncy skirt - which is what I’ve worn for the last billion weddings I’ve been to.
But I’m bored and wanted a change. This one is more figure hugging.

Thank you.
It’s just different but I’ve kind of had a bit of a style overhaul generally and am suddenly disliking styles I’ve kind of always worn. I’ve got rid of a lot of clothes and I just wanted something different. I’ve lost about 2 stone in the last 18 months so quite a lot of things I had were too big.

Looks good and great on you. Have fun Smile

The only reason someone would be too old for this would be if their waist had thickened and they weren’t confident in showing it.
Your waist( and the rest of you) looks great.
Go for it.

Stravapalava · 05/05/2019 22:58

No you look lovely!

princesstinnedpeach · 05/05/2019 23:07

You look beautiful and definitely not like you're lacking in money or time - actually if I saw you I'd think you looked expensive.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 05/05/2019 23:08

So fabulous!
Def wear-why are you hesitating??
perfect dress

Lilacks · 05/05/2019 23:09

It looks fab. And your hair is still looking great too!
