Is this dress too short for a 38 year old woman?

[oliveoil]

am thinking maybe?

how are your pins olive? If they are good, then why not?

Depends on the tights, thick black tights? Then no, it is not to short for a 38 years old woman. Fake tanned legs, then yes

or what about this? will I look like I am attending a funeral?

Oooh yes! Well I think so. Hope I've not offended you

BUT, i do suppose if you look younger for your years and have the legs and body for it, you could get away with it.

legs are fine

but it is for works do so may be over the top and a bit tarty?

am getting depressed trying to find something, grrrrr

I like the second one!

(maybe i've turned into a prude since i turned 43 )

I prefer the second one. First is lovely, provided you are stick-thin with great legs, but that would be the case if you were 38 or 18. It's a pretty unforgiving dress!

Have you had a look at Next website?

The goth in me likes the second one.

I like the first one but you;d have to have good legs

I would feel more comfortable in 2nd one

I am size 10/12 and 5'9" so dress would be fine (I think) BUT I am of the opinion that you should be more demure when older [victorian]

Prefer second one by far.

But why don't you go for a lighter/brighter colour?

If you're 5ft9 then I reckon you could get a away with the first one. But I still think thick black tights.

not been on Next website

my wish list is:

fitted ish dress - NO swampy pregnancy style ones

long sleeves if poss

any colour, not bothered

mid thigh (ish)

have black shoes, will get nice clutch from Acceorise I have my beady eye on

tights a DEFINITE (hides a multitude of sins)

im sorry i wouldnt be seen dead in a marks and spencer dress

i am 34

i was in topshop at the weekend and they had far nicer dresses than the one in the OP, olive

but i dont think the OP is too short, no

what is wrong with M&S? harrumph

I am trawling the shops every lunch and getting v fed up

went in our huge Topshop on Saturday with dh and felt about 105, full of lithe and lovely teenagers without wrinkles

The trouble with Topshop is you're likely to be standing next to someone with the same TS dress on. Everyone shops at TS.
