My partner booked a theatre trip and weekend in London pre Covid and hopefully this august we can go we have booked an expensive restaurant on the Friday with a smart dress code then on the Saturday we have a pre theatre meal booked at an average restaurant and theatre after. I’m at a loss of what to wear I’m 27 size 10-12 if that helps

Red dress looks best.

ShirleyPhallus · 19/05/2021 20:27

Agree with all the comments, but you’ll have a brilliant time so I think dress up as much as you want!

BeaLola · 19/05/2021 20:33

I do like to dress up for an occasion - I love the red dress - great for the dinner , I do like the black one but would think boots not right for august and agree with others suggestions re footwear - looking forward to see skirt

I like outfit 1 and 3 on you. Pale dress is nice but not flattering to your colouring I don't think?
Exciting being able to dress up again!!

WineGetsMeThroughIt · 19/05/2021 20:35

The red dress looks amazing on you!! 😍

Overwhelmed245 · 19/05/2021 20:43

Thanks it’s a black midi skirt I would wear a black body suit and some heels

You look fucking hot OP, in all
the pics ! Wear what you like, you'll look amazing 😻

bellsbuss · 19/05/2021 20:48

You look amazing in the red dress.

RampantIvy · 19/05/2021 21:26

I agree that the red dress looks fabulous on you.

I have social engagements tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. You can bet your bottom dollar I am going OTT with dressing up and wearing make up. I can't wait.

[quote Overwhelmed245]@Frequentflier I’ve never been one for trends but both dresses are oh polly and there definitely on trend

I do love the red dress[/quote]
I don't think the clothes on that website are on trend, as in a cool fashion-y style, because they are very bodycon/sexy, but if that is the style you like then you probably don't want a Ganni style midi dress.

Are there any 26 year olds wearing Ganni style midi dresses on a night out though. Maybe 45-55 year olds

SwimBaby · 19/05/2021 22:15

If I had legs like the OP’s and I was in my 20’s I’d choose her outfits. I’m in my 50’s now and in the midi dress gang.

gingercat02 · 19/05/2021 22:22

I give not a shit for the too cool to dress up brigade. Life has been shit for 15 months. Rock it girl. Red dress all the way 💃👜👠💍💄

Frequentflier · 19/05/2021 22:39

Yes, bodycon is the word I was clumsily groping for. I don't see even young women wearing that trend these days?. I somehow missed seeing the first dress though, and I like that the best.

Absolutely! I only know about it from the graduates at my work (finance) they’re all fully kitted out in Ganni and Zimmerman for a night out and think I’m positively ancient at 34 because I still wear Whistles.

That's the thing. I think for the evening and for OP's age this dress is completely suitable. She looks banging in it! She will definitely turn head and for the right reasons. No one will laugh and stare because they deem her unfashionable and out of date.

HoldontoOneMoreDay · 19/05/2021 23:39

Girrrrrrrl if I had legs like that I'd go out in my knickers, frankly.

Overwhelmed245 · 20/05/2021 09:17
