I'm slim with decent legs but.... I dont know.

I'm absolutely all for if you love it buy it and wear it.
But honestly? It looks like a cheap nightie that would ignite itself with the static.

Gettingthereslowly2020 · 09/03/2021 18:24

I can't imagine anyone under 25 wearing that! I think it's bloody awful but each to their own.

If you like it then buy it, life's too short. I don't think you can ever be too old to wear anything. At 37, you're far from old anyway.

Not sure about the age range.

But it looks rather flammable to me.

ChequerBoard · 09/03/2021 18:24

Errm do you have a specific occasion in mind? Might be a bit much for a quick trip to Tesco?

Dayafterday · 09/03/2021 18:25

It’s hideous!

Hardchoices · 09/03/2021 18:25

It looks so cheap and nasty sorry OP. I get the idea of what you want and don’t think it is age limited but that particular one looks sweaty and cheap.

Tehmina23 · 09/03/2021 18:27

I think it's ok for your age as 37 is young still.... but not sure when you would wear it?
It's got a summery look but the fabric & long sleeves would be awful in hot weather.

Spodge · 09/03/2021 18:27

If you like it then buy it. But it does look like the kind of thing that might appeal in a picture and then you find you can't actually wear it anywhere.

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 09/03/2021 18:27

do the castanets come with or will you have to order those separately??

Justasecondnow · 09/03/2021 18:28

Not to my taste but a world where every one wears respectable neutral tones and the right pair of jeans is dull. If you like it, buy it, try it on and see what you think. Hope you feel great it.

Midlifephoenix · 09/03/2021 18:28

It's awful, no matter what the age.

AnyFucker · 09/03/2021 18:29

That is only useful to pop over your toilet roll

Tehmina23 · 09/03/2021 18:29

Look for short cotton tiered dresses with short sleeves/ straps which are a better fabric & sleeve length for summer.

frogswimming · 09/03/2021 18:29

Erm if it was 1986 perhaps it might be some way acceptable. It's awful so frilly and cheap looking.

burritofan · 09/03/2021 18:30

I think it’s for streetwalkers only, sorry

Viviennemary · 09/03/2021 18:30

Its dreadful. But if you like it get it. Its not an age thing.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 09/03/2021 18:31

I’m 26 so only slightly older than your predicted age range and I wouldn’t wear that.

If you like it though...

Craftycorvid · 09/03/2021 18:32

I’m not smitten either, but also have no truck with age limits on wearing what you like. So, if you like it, go for it.

WhiskyWhiskersdottir · 09/03/2021 18:32

It’s for pirates of any age

purplecorkheart · 09/03/2021 18:33

Sorry but it is awful no matter what your age and figure. I agree wholeheartedly with the poster who said it looks flammable. I would act wearing that in the manner that I would act if I suspected a gas leak no naked flame/not turning anything electrical on and off in case of a spark.

LizzieMacQueen · 09/03/2021 18:33

You've been in lockdown too long OP.

Thatswhatmamasaid · 09/03/2021 18:34

Oh no.

JaninaDuszejko · 09/03/2021 18:34

You can wear whatever you want at any age.

HopefulQuitter · 09/03/2021 18:35

I'm renowned for having awful dress sense( a standing joke amongst my friends/family and I think this thread had just confirmed it! I'd wear it maybe, pub lunch,beer garden, garden party of any sort if we are ever bloody allowed again
