Another 'keep or return' thread

Have taken delivery of another holiday order, and would appreciate opinions on it as you all kept me right last time.

I'm 40 now, and I've absolutely lost all confidence in my shopping choices. I feel like I either dress like a child, or make no effort whatsoever.

Anyway... not sure what order these show up for others as in first, second, third, so please advise re:

White
Floral
Green

Thanks

The white one looks fantastic on you.

itsgettingweird · 13/07/2022 19:19

Green doesn't look long enough in the body but the style suits you.

Love the floral one for everyday wear.

White is nice style and shape but a bit meh! Maybe teamed with some bright flip flops and accessories it would be more interesting.

doingmyboxin · 13/07/2022 20:17

Thanks all.

The green one is packaged up, ready for return tomorrow 👍

Green is the best but needs a larger size to avoid camel toe, but then might not fit you as well on top.
White looks like nightwear/dressing gown
Floral is unflattering which is impressive given you have a great figure.
I don’t think any of them are quite right.
I think if you want something a bit more ‘grown up’ I’d maybe pick plain colours and no frills or gimmicky bits.

Funny to see how different everybody’s opinions are!

I think the white looks amazing on you
the floral looks good but nothing special, would be fine for casual summer comfort.
I don’t think the green fits you well

Housenoob · 13/07/2022 21:12

I quite like the green but maybe different size.

Floral is lovely and looks comfy and casual chic.

I absolutely hate the white one tbh, I mean it looks nice on you but I just don't like the actual garment, it's like a dressing gown a bride would wear on the morning of her wedding but in playsuit form.

Confuzzled19 · 13/07/2022 21:15

White is flattering but the crochet or whatever looks a bit ‘old lady’ to me
Like the shape of green but agree it’s short in the body
floral is nice - keep

anybloodyname · 13/07/2022 21:17

My preference

White
Floral
Green

You've for an amazing figure 👍🏼

DuesToTheDirt · 13/07/2022 21:19

White - yes
Floral - definitely no, shapeless and I can see your knickers
Green - your shoulders look too square

kilmilk · 13/07/2022 21:21

Green is my favourite on you! I think it's a beautiful shape and suits your figure. I don't like the floral too much but the white is pretty too Smile

EnSextant · 13/07/2022 21:25

The first one looks fabulous on you.

SilverPeacock · 13/07/2022 21:29

I like the white one
Floral ok but more casual
I would send back the green one but it might be ok in the bigger size

tobi21 · 13/07/2022 21:31

white is lovely, extremely flattering, green is also nice, I like the floral but I think you lose your shape slightly

ZaraSizeMedium · 13/07/2022 21:35

Keep the white, return the other two.

3WildOnes · 13/07/2022 21:40

I think the white one looks great on you.
I think the floral is unflattering.
Green in OK.

Vargas · 13/07/2022 21:42

Thé plain white one looks fab on you!

CinnamonJellyBeans · 13/07/2022 21:44

Get the white one. It looks lovely. Add a straw/raffia type belt and some tan sandals.

Green is too short in the body and not all that nice.

Floral one looks a bit silly.

Hoolihan · 13/07/2022 21:48

Going to go completely against the grain but I don't think the white one is flattering at all - the waistband (elastic?) makes your hips look wide, there's too much fabric. It looks cheap too. Much prefer the shape of the green and think it shows off your fab figure better.

overgrowngrass · 13/07/2022 21:55

White one is lovely, not so keen on the other two. And I don't think your hips could look wide if you tried! You have a lovely figure.

Makes her hips look wide? Is there something up with your screen? The white one looks fantastic and is very flattering.

The green is not flattering (may also be the camera angle to blame), but OP has wisely decided to send it back.

Sanfranciscobabe · 13/07/2022 22:19

White is great, floral too ‘babygro’ for me, green is nice

Lyn29 · 13/07/2022 22:23

The green and white are gorgeous!!! Definitely keep!!

threecupsofteaminimum · 13/07/2022 23:02

Floral for sure.

protoctist · 14/07/2022 13:58

The white and green to keep, the floral one looks like a toddlers outfit.
