Yy to size down, it should be more fitted.

MrsMaiselsMuff · 01/12/2019 10:48

It is a bit child like. Adding black tights and black shoes will make it funeral like.

You have a great figure. There are much nicer dresses out there.

Hi, I really know clothes and fit. The dress is great if you add a thicker belt. The white band around the waist is a little high. Wear black tights and short boots. Black tights with pumps would be great too. You have a nice figure.

I really love it!!!!

I second black opaques & black stilletos Smile

You have a great figure but the dress looks odd.
I think the piping sits in a strange place-too high for your waist-and makes you look bigger and awkward. The flouncy sleeves and bow at the neck are too fussy and "child's party frock"

MissLadyM · 01/12/2019 14:32

You look lovely. I don't like the piping on the waist though. Maybe try a smaller size?

BennyTheBall · 01/12/2019 18:11

The piping and the bow ruin it.

Size down and add a belt

It could be worn for work or dressed up with silver /leopard heels

Is it a retro buy? Definitely has a 60s look about it. For me too much 'bits' eg ties at the neck, flared sleeves and the white? trim. Will say does look good on you but so so retro. Dark/black tights, black high heels or a boot. Though if going for a retro look light tights and wedge heeled shoes.

I don’t like it. Bows on adults are grim. Also the sleeves look weird. Any skater style dress would suit and have a similar look without the childish flounce of this dress.

ShortHairSuitsYou · 02/12/2019 10:05

I think return it if you can.
You have a lovely figure so could wear almost anything but the proportions of that dress are out. Too big around the arms and shoulders with a too high waist for the length.
If you are always cold I'd recommend a fitted jersey dress with sleeves worn with opaque tights and flats or short boots.

No , not retro . It’s from Ted Baker .
