C’mon I couldn’t leave it like that. I was starting to very much enjoy the derailment….

Hi @Kenworthington Colin is gorgeous & I love the look of Needle & Thread dresses.. as you have a reason & the budget to get one then go for it!

I didn’t read all of the other thread because it was mental. What about a jumpsuit?

A velvet jumpsuit is beautiful. Comes in various colours.

Kenworthington · 14/02/2022 09:06

That's fantastic Kenworthington. Hopefully one of these will be the perfect dress. My money is on the black patterned one shoulder. The cream/gold flowy one is beautiful as well though.

@Kenworthington Please post photos when you get them. I am now ridiculously invested in your dress and joining the fan club of those of us who love your attitude!

NotAnotherUserNumber · 14/02/2022 10:28

P.S. I absolutely LOVE the print on the black patterned SOA dress!

Kenworthington · 14/02/2022 11:25

I def will thank you @NotAnotherUserNumber

Maybe you should all get wedding invites? Dress code is: as ridiculous as you dare

@Sexnotgender

I do like a jumpsuit but two issues……
I have a stupidly long torso so camel toe could be an unsexy issue plus

I will prob end up fairly pissed. I do not want to wee myself in the struggle to get the darned thing off.

Unglamorous, unclassy, unseemly and def not elegant. Oh dear

The cream dress in your OP was fabulous! I'd wear it in your situation!

I may have missed it but yvie old are you OP and what's your day to day style like? Would love to know!

Kenworthington · 14/02/2022 11:42

@Rosenborg. Thank you 😘

C&p -

In daily life I wear Alot cos and H&M mixed in with some ‘boutique’ things. I like massively oversized coats and dresses. And comfy possibly fugly footwear. I am a fan of Birkenstocks and socks. In the summer I wear similar shapes but more bohemian/hippy style/colours/muted prints. I like a basket bag or a clutch. I like big clumpy sandals (o have two pairs of really cool Kurt Geiger ones from last summer/ one in tweed and one in quilted denim), My Best Buy’s have been my Louis Vuitton neverful which I use all the time and my Gucci horse bit bag (which I use for nights out and when I don’t have to carry loads of crap around) so I am a fan of modern classics I guess with a bit of a twist.

I am 46 and 5’8 and a 16

Fabulous!

I hope you find the right dress for you and looking forward to seeing pics!

Kenworthington · 14/02/2022 11:45

I’ve just realized I said on last thread I’m not keen on a print and here I am- head to toe in clashing prints 😬😬

Well, luckily it's out of stock....
Unless you've already got it 😄

notawittyname1954 · 14/02/2022 12:12

@Kenworthington Just be your own fabulous self. Wear what makes you happy. I've been told I shouldn't wear bright colours over a certain age because its being a show off. Truth is bright colours make me smile. Its all about confidence and I think we very much look at things as how they would look on us or suit us. Keep doing you and if you love it wear it. You are hurting no one.

I can see how wetting yourself at your son’s wedding might be problematic 😂

[quote Kenworthington]Holy hell I LOVE this LOVE LOVE LOVE. Perhaps with some kind of long thing over it or a big oversized blazer????

That is gorgeous

Just in case the two you've ordered don't work out, Wolf & Badger keep throwing these up in my ads. My cookies must give a very different impression of my lifestyle and stature.
