Thoughts on this Free People Dress

DH has offered to buy me something in this sort of price range because 'I deserve a treat' apparently! Most of my own money goes on the kids and I rarely buy new clothes. I love this in black but wondered if it might be too frumpy. I'm 30, 5ft 8 and a size 8 :)

Any comments or alternative suggestions welcome.

I don't know anymore. A lot of the dresses in the shops look frumpy to me but that's probably because when I was growing up grandmas wore dresses like that

It looks nice, 90s boho, would look greats with dr martens.

Not keen on the zip, if that what it is though.

It's really pretty. I saw a photo of someone famous in that dress actually, could be Millie Mackintosh or similar. It looked good.

I love it. It's my type of dress. I'm mid 50s, a size 16 / 18 and I'd wear it. I love it in red.

If that was my style, I’d love it. I don’t dislike it, it’s just not my style. I’d choose it over tailored seperates though.

Beautiful

SarahJessicaPorker · 13/02/2022 19:38

Nice!

GettingStuffed · 13/02/2022 19:40

I love it, very boho

Riverlee · 13/02/2022 21:33

Gorgeous, and I’d wear it !

countdowntonap · 13/02/2022 21:40

It’s gorgeous, and the reviews show lots of customers wearing the dress and it looks amazing on them all. I love Free People and think their clothes are always cut well to show off women’s bodies.

cherrysthename · 13/02/2022 21:41

I'd go for it but I would say that cos half my wardrobe is from Free People

gingerhills · 13/02/2022 21:46

I love it.

AnyFucker · 13/02/2022 21:48

I like that

Fridafever · 13/02/2022 21:50

Very nice

StarlightLady · 14/02/2022 07:25

Go for it! Then if you decide you don’t like it, I’ll have it!!!

MargotEmin · 14/02/2022 07:28

It's OK, definitely prefer it in the black. If I had your height/ build I'd probably just save my money by walking around naked to be honest.

Enjoy!

I have also been eyeing that dress OP. Lovely.

GeneParmesanPrivateEye · 14/02/2022 10:55

I have it and love it!

GeneParmesanPrivateEye · 14/02/2022 10:55

(Get it!)

User0610134049 · 14/02/2022 10:57

It’s a bit loud for me but I am older, shorter and fatter than you so if you like it and would wear it then go for it!

ChickenStripper · 14/02/2022 11:15

It looks like the kind of thing you get from Monsoon. I'm not sure I would pay that price for it. I'm a bit prejudiced though as remember all of this stuff in Monsoon in its heyday.

Purplecatshopaholic · 14/02/2022 11:16

Lovely dress. Defo go for it
