I’m clueless. Would this dress look ok for a 40 year old size 14?

If so, what shoes would you recommend?

Would these go with it?

Thise boots will be great but look at Shoeaholics first as they sell KG at massive discounts

MayThePawsBeWithYou · 01/02/2022 17:29

The boots are £49 on shoeaholics site. I buy all my shoes from them.

The dress will be very flattering. I’d wear a court or ballerina shoe with it.

Oh I love that dress. Perfect for a romantic dinner and the sheer sleeves would be very flattering.

Personally I would wear black heels, probably pointy toe, I think it's a classic look, but then I'm not necessarily that stylish!!

That's a nice combo - I like the idea of the boots to make it a little bit less formal/girly as well

Lemonweightloss · 01/02/2022 19:01

Both perfect 🥰

nancybotwinbloom · 01/02/2022 19:16

Lovely

SnotRags · 01/02/2022 19:18

Thanks everyone. I’m the opposite of girly so I have no idea what I’m doing! I wear jeans and welly’s all day every day 😂

On that note, if I was to wear the dress with the boots, should I wear tights under the dress? If so what colour? My legs are white and chicken skin looking

That dress is so pretty! And you'd get loads of wear out of those boots. I'd go for black tights, hide a multitude of sins and you can get away with either really black tights or sheer black tights at the moment. Hope you have a lovely time! Smile

MayThePawsBeWithYou · 01/02/2022 19:45

I would wear sheen 60 black tights

Just get a really nice pair of tights in a shade or two darker than your skin

Weareallvirgins · 02/02/2022 18:29

No tights your 40 not 60.

Moonface123 · 02/02/2022 22:02

Its a beautiful dress, very apt, hope you have fantastic time.

SnotRags · 04/02/2022 07:52

The dress arrived and looks ridiculous on me, almost comical. Oh well! Back to the drawing board!

It's a nice dress, but I REALLY don't like it when there's a really obvious seam along the bottom. It's a wee bit frilly for me, too, but I'm old.

How disappointing! Usually you can’t go wrong with a wrap dress.
