I was thinking of styling with these shoes :

Too old lady?

The picture isn’t selling it for me, sorry! It looks so dull as a grey dress on a grey background. Have you seen it in person? Or do they have a good returns policy?

My first thought was handmaids tale

Those shoes! 😍😍

Dress is nice.

Shoes are not my cup of tea. Dress is nice but will need good accessories so it doesnt look dowdy. Both together- no.

You'd look as if you had joined an ultra-strict religious sect; one that didn't allow music, dancing, or even smiling. And I hate the shoes.

I just got a letter from Laura Ingles, she said she wants her 'crunchy cotton' dress back...

The shoes are nice though

I'd think you'd have more money than style sense if I saw you or anyone else wearing that especially at that price.
Btw seen similar in Primark if you really want to rock the Little House on the Prairie/Amish/Nurse Ratchet/Lolita look.

Though on the other hand depending on your accessories you might look really cool in a nonchalant ironic way

@idontlikealdi

It looks like an Amish dress just with buttons. If that's what you aspiring to, go for it.

I thought Amish too, but tbf I've hated most of the dresses I've seen in the shops lately, so I'm possibly not the best person to ask.

I love them both and works buy if Toast wasnt so damned expensive.

Love both

I love wearing dresses, but I'm not a fan of this one, sorry
Just seems a bit flat and grey?
Then again I don't know why people post online asking for opinions on stuff like this - if I liked it then I'd bloody well wear it and not give a shit what anyone else thought!

Hmmmm...if you're 6 foot tall and a size 10 with an amazing tan, fab hair and a gorgeous, interesting face....maybe?! But even then, only maybe! The dress is like something seen in a convent and the shoes don't go with it at all.

Are you an elderly Catholic nun? If so, it is perfect.

If you like it, wear it. Almost everyone looks better wearing something they feel good in. Personally I don’t like it, it feels like it’s missing a bonnet or something.

@Hadenoughofthisbullshit

The dress says ‘micro’ does that mean thigh length? If so I think it would work and would look nice with the shoes.

But then I am a bit of a boring art school type

It means “micro gingham” as in the print is a very small gingham. You have to zoom in to see it is gingham otherwise it looks grey. I’d say length is below the knee? On an average height woman.

I like the idea of the dress OP but whether you can pull it off depends on your own personal style. Certainly I would look as though I had renounced all worldly possessions if I turned up in that. Maybe you can rock it though.

Shoes are ok.

Love the shoes. The dress looks like a nun’s habit.

I would not spend £200 on those, sorry.

I wouldn’t wear those shoes with that dress. I like them individually, but together I think the overall look would be dowdy. I think the shoes with well fitting trousers would be great for work, and the dress with DMs might look ok, as long as you’re quite tall.

I think @Mamette is right about ‘the idea’ of the dress. I really liked the idea of this one which is rather similar, from Hush.

Chose the navy option…put it on…family took one look and started making jokes about the ‘Sound of Music’, singing ‘Climb Every Mountain’. 😉 Had to agree, it was not a good look!
@Kanaloa ‘missing a bonnet’. 😄

I also have some lovely DM's, so this is a possibility

I would, I hope, be wearing it "ironically" as another poster suggested. The dress itself is very conservative, but can be changed for the better with the right accessories I believe.

If it was in Primark for £20 I would have already bought it! I don't care where it comes from. Cheaper the better!

The shoes are gorgeous in real life. They are 100% staying.

The dress is very... Toast and the shoes definitely match the aesthetic.

It's not my aesthetic personally but they do comprise a definite Look, which if it's your thing, go for it, you're killing it.

I actually do like the brogues, although probably not in that colour.

Not a lot 9f Toast love here!

I love both personally!

This is the identikit outfit worn by many around here - all matching with big Deirdre glasses and clashing coloured mohair cardi.

Oh ok, personally I’d only wear it if it was above the knee but I’m short. I think like you say the idea of the dress is good if you could give it some ‘edge’ with some accessories. Leather and spikes or something
