Does this dress look ok for a relaxed meal?

[LazyMareofEastown]

Have....ahem.......expanded in lockdown 😳 and am feeling a bit down on myself. Love this dress and it's really comfy (plus pockets 👌) but feeling a bit paranoid about how it fits around the midsection.

Does it look ok?

Sorry about the mirror, don't own a plain full length one.

I think its lovely and suits you very much.

Yes, it’s lovely!

It looks really good. If you’re feeling self conscious you can always break out the Spanx.

That's lovely. It looks so nice on you

Yes, it looks great.

Please don’t break out the Spanx though, would spoil the whole evening!

You look lovely in it. Have a nice time.

Look lovely.. enjoy!

Aw thanks all. I feel loads better now.

Carboncheque I've sworn off control underwear ever since a few Xmas parties ago I had a very unfortunate incident with some crotch poppers popping open mid meal 😳 and DP having to leg it to the nearest sainsburys for safety pins which I then had to do and undo every time I went for a wee. This got more difficult and became more hazardous to my nethers as the night went on 🥂🤣

It really does look lovely.
You look fabulous in it!

You look fab in that dress, it's gorgeous!!

It looks fine on the pictures, nothing to worry about at all.

But. If you will still feel self-conscious it's better to wear something else no matter what people say on here. I've had doubts about outfits before, asked friends opinions, they said I looked great, stuck with it, and then didn't properly enjoy myself because I was uncomfortable and constantly adjusting and worrying.

Maybe not the pants then.

It looks lovely OP

You look great and I love the dress.

It looks lovely. How does it feel when you're say down though? My mid-section seems to expand on sitting down, so some dresses that look perfectly nice when I'm stood up get less so...

Its lovely! Wheres it from?

Yes, it's a lovely and perfectly appropriate dress and looks to fit you well.

I can tell it really suits your colouring. It's relaxed and at the same time a tiny bit of décolletage on show. Your jewellery is lovely too. Nice one OP

You look lovely. Have a great evening.

You look great.

You look lovely.

You look lovely, I wish my midriff had only expanded that much! (Strict diet January)

Looks really nice on you 👍hope you enjoy the evening.

I'm back. Felt really comfortable and had a lovely time scoffing keralan food and drinking wine 😁

For those who have asked, the dress is vintage, from the 80's I think. I was drawn to it because its got strong shoulders which help create the illusion that I actually have a waist 😬.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Glad you had a nice time. The colours really suit you.
