Dh hates my new dress, what do you think?

Hello,

New dress, sale bargain, cosy, doesn't crease(!). Asked dh for an option on which size was the most flattering, but he really dislikes it.

Now I dress for myself, dh is lovely (and to be fair I did ask his opinion) but it's given me a bit of a wobble.

It mainly for work, in a kind of chuck on and not worry about. Dh massively prefers my other dresses. I'm an hour glass size 16, and a lot of my dressed are more fitted, but I think they look a bit dated now.

I though this was an on trend and flattering day dress, but now I'm doubting myself.

Tags still attached, it can go back.

What do you think? I'm late 40s.

Quite ghastly,and featureless ,maybe a woman undertaker would dress in this type of dress.

My friend, who is such a person, is always immaculately turned out and stylish in an appropriate and understated way, out of respect to clients. She wears darker, subdued colours, but not a great deal of black. She wouldn’t wear anything like this dress.

I take it you have never seen a female undertaker? The admittedly few I have seen have been very smartly dressed, and in one case strikingly stylish.

Brighten it up with a colourful scarf or necklace.

@Bluntness100, I have a similar dress from Uniqlo. Looked great on the hanger, looks like a sack on me.
