I'm 37 and I want it! Am I having some sort of episode?
I'm slim with decent legs but.... I dont know.

Looks a bit like what a prostitute in Westworld might wear. Having said that I think you should wear whatever the hell you want and after this pandemic I plan on a few nights in a tutu.

Fridainexile · 09/03/2021 18:36

Don’t do it 🙈🙈🙈

Of those who say no age limit to clothes I do really agree and would say the exact same!

Sorry OP. It's not age that's the issue. If I saw someone wearing this I'd think they were going to a fancy dress party. Would love you to prove us wrong and post of pic of you totally rocking it!!

hippychick11 · 09/03/2021 18:41

I love the colours but don't really like the design. If you like it though, wear it. 37 is far from old and do/wear what makes you happy

Cosmos45 · 09/03/2021 18:43

That's a dress? Wow..

RidingOn · 09/03/2021 18:44

Buy it but keep it to wear on your 80th birthday.

EmmaOvary · 09/03/2021 18:46

It’s for pirates of any age

🤣🤣🤣

Tanfastic · 09/03/2021 18:55

Fancy dress surely? Confused

Disabrie22 · 09/03/2021 18:55

OP if you can pull it off - wear it - life is too short to care about what anyone else thinks

thirstyformore · 09/03/2021 18:55

You can (and should) wear whatever you like. But that is pretty awful. I can't imagine who would look good in it! Sorry. If you love it, buy it. I'm sure I have clothes that you would hate!

CryptoFascist · 09/03/2021 18:56

Fucking heck

Toilenstripes · 09/03/2021 18:57

Halloween party?

S111n20 · 09/03/2021 19:02

If you like it why not !

NoseOfJericho · 09/03/2021 19:02

@burritofan

I think it’s for streetwalkers only, sorry
I thought of brothels. However, if you have a Latin appearance and plan on learning Flamenco it could have a place. But if you like it, it makes you feel good, go for it. Confidence is all.
Mankyfruitbowl · 09/03/2021 19:11

I don't believe in age limits on clothes, but yeah... I agree with pp that it's not the loveliest item!

The way the model is standing makes it look like she's trying to keep it on... Imagine what it would look like if you were just standing straight, or moving about. On a Zoom call you might look naked Grin

But as always - if you love it and will feel good in it - buy it!

Whatwhyhowwherewho · 09/03/2021 19:13

Dorien from birds of a feather would love that!

requitalissima · 09/03/2021 19:16

Sorry, unless one is wishing to appear as a wanna-be-Carmen (not derogatory, Bizet Carmen Hmm) - this dress should be swiftly discarded.

GameSetMatch · 09/03/2021 19:16

Wear what you want, it doesn’t matter what age you are but surely you wouldn’t wear that to a garden party or a pub lunch 😳

Hoppinggreen · 09/03/2021 19:17

Age doesn’t come into it
Nobody between 1 and 100 should wear it

1forAll74 · 09/03/2021 19:20

I like it, but am an oldie now, but it reminds me of my ballroom and Latin American dancing days.

MessAllOver · 09/03/2021 19:22

It will definitely help you stand out from the crowd. I wouldn't hang around either Soho or bees in it, though.

HelloThereMeHearties · 09/03/2021 19:24

I could just about live with it if it wasn't so short. And without the choker.

Maybe wear it with black leggings?

Redcrayons · 09/03/2021 19:24

Wear what you like, but that’s hideousnot to my taste

Sexnotgender · 09/03/2021 19:26

@Roszie

Not sure about the age range.

But it looks rather flammable to me.

Pretty much exactly my thoughts😂
