I love it, looks so ott and fun, buy it, you can always send it back

Chooseausernamenow · 09/03/2021 21:07

God it’s hideous at any age.

CrazyOldBagLady · 09/03/2021 21:09

You'll be the hottest fortune teller at the party. Go for it.

The top half is just basically a 'gypsy' style top. i can't wear them as too generous of nork, but i always think they look ok over jeans in the summer.

The skirt however - hmm. 80s Top Of The Pops. (shows age)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/03/2021 21:11

Sorry, but that's one of the worst things I've ever seen on here. Surely this is a joke?

JimmyJabs · 09/03/2021 21:22

I'm put in mind of the video for Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode, which is set in a Wild West brothel. It doesn't help that the model is standing in a really odd way - as a pp said, it's almost like she's having to tense her shoulders and hips to stop the dress from falling off. Wearing it to the pub would be courting disaster!

BrookePalomoV · 09/03/2021 21:24

I think it’s potentially outing especially if I see you on my street. Do they do other colours?

Laeta · 09/03/2021 21:26

I love it too!!

RockingMyFiftiesNot · 09/03/2021 21:32

It's not a question of age, it's a question of taste.

JaquelineBeanstalk · 09/03/2021 21:48

Wow thats bad.,

SabrinaTheMiddleAgedBitch · 09/03/2021 21:51

It's absolutely hideous OP Grin But if you like it go for it I say

shouldistop · 09/03/2021 21:54

God, it's really horrible op sorry. Nothing to do with age.

crystalcherry87 · 09/03/2021 22:08

Ugly dress unless you're beautiful and can wear anything.

Ugly dress unless you're beautiful and can wear anything.
Still ugly!
Hopefulquitter · 10/03/2021 00:21

Okay Okay I get the picture! Grin I won't buy it... Wink .I also will consult MN for all my future purchases to avoid looking like a hooker/fortune teller/wannabe flamenco dancer etc etc Grin
My taste in clothes is renowned for being terrible. I need a stylist!

@M0rT

I think it would be uncomfortable in hot weather, but you could get it to wear next winter? With opaque tights/leggings and boots and a leather jacket it would probably look good.
Yes it would actually! I have no imagination so I am grateful for yours. hmm....

it's one of those dresses that looks great in the ad pics, but once you unpack it you realise you'll never wear it in a beer garden under the heaters because you'll go up in flames.

YukoandHiro · 10/03/2021 03:49

Anyone over a size 4-6 is going to looks like a giant beach ball in that. Forget your age, unless you're absolutely tiny forget it...

Also agree with PPs that it looks like it's made of a cheap material that would make you sweat and smell

Builtthiscityontoiletrolls · 10/03/2021 03:54

Can you not look into your crystal ball or your tarot cards and find out if you should buy it Wink it is very fortune teller (but I do like it a little bit too) Blush

GreenSlide · 10/03/2021 03:56

I think the under 25s all wear little crop tops with high waisted skin tight leggings now Grin

23PissOffAvenueWF · 10/03/2021 04:01

I don’t think you’ll find any many under-25s keen on it, so go for it!

WrappedinHaze · 10/03/2021 04:03

If you like it so much, go for it! 37 is not too old for sure.

What I don’t get is some of the answers here; the question wasn’t what do you think about the dress but if it’s ok for a 37 year old but yet so many people felt the need to make some nasty comments and denigrate someone’s taste when nobody even asked them! So many meanies on mumsnet!

Buy the Dress, wear the Dress 💃🏻

If you love it buy it! Life isn’t about pleasing other people. Especially some randoms on the internet.
