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.

Love it. Will look gorgeous on you op.

Those of you who already have Free People dresses, what's the sizing like?

I really like, sort of thing I’d wear… but can’t see anywhere on the site what it’s made from, so suspect it’s man made fibres. In which case it’s quite pricey.

Still lovely, though.

Sizing is really generous, Blue

It's nice

Movinghouseatlast · 14/02/2022 15:14

It's lovely!

Nice!

Lovely, would work for someone your height (not for say someone who is 5 foot 2).

No, you're too young for this style.
Go with your gut feeling.
You are tall, slender, far better dresses for you.

It doesn’t say what it’s made of.

Lol

Just reading the blurb on their website about who they are and who their customer is: 'And that's just who we wanted to reach: a 26-year-old girl, smart, creative, confident and comfortable in all aspects of her being, free and adventurous, sweet to tough to tomboy to romantic. A girl who likes to keep busy and push life to its limits, with traveling and hanging out and everything in between. Who loves Donovan as much as she loves The Dears, and can't resist petting any dog that passes her by on the street.'

Love it

@DelphiniumBlue I’ve only got a jumpsuit and two tops but I found they came up large and I sized down.

@countdowntonap I got both my tops from this brand in sales and jumpsuit had to buy online as was way too big in the shop.

I was looking at the white version but it’s out of stock 😫
