Dunno.
Thought I looked good in the jump suit but not sure about the very open back.

Tea dress - I'm 51. Fine line between this and what your gran would have got from Littlewoods?

Column dress - ok, but cut strangely around the hips

I love the tea dress - where did you get it from?
I'm 46 and would wear that.

You look fab - I am more than a decade younger than you and I have arm envy!

Love the jumpsuit in particular.

Arrivederla · 15/07/2022 18:33

You look amazing in the jumpsuit!!

The photos of the dresses are too dark to see properly, unfortunately.

EmeraldShamrock1 · 15/07/2022 18:34

You look fabulous in both outfits.

You can easily carry off the jumpsuit.

AllKnowingGerbil · 15/07/2022 18:38

I honestly think you look great in all of them. My fave is the column dress.

stringbean · 15/07/2022 18:39

Yes to the jumpsuit and second v-neck t-dress - it's a useful item for your wardrobe. Not sure about the first dress - not as flattering. Do you do weights or body pump?? Would love arms/shoulders like yours!!

Sexnotgender · 15/07/2022 18:39

You look fabulous in all of them.

Ontomatopea · 15/07/2022 18:40

I like the green dress.

DSGR · 15/07/2022 18:43

I think you look fab in all of them. Amazing figure and I wish I had your back! I’m 45

Lineala · 15/07/2022 18:46

You look fabulous.

DuchessOfSausage · 15/07/2022 18:46

The tea dress is lovely and really suits you. The jumpsuit looks a bit crap from the front but you have lovely back and arm muscles, so I'd look for something similar but with a v halter neck

TheOrigRights · 15/07/2022 19:17

Oooh, how to make a girl feel good, thank you. It's just me and DS13 here and obviously he isn't keen or helpful when it comes to styling his mum.

They are all M&S.

I do a lot of sport - mainly running, but also swim and bike and some weights.

You look fantastic in all the outfits, seriously!

hazellad · 15/07/2022 19:33

I think they're all great, the v tea dress is the most flattering but they're all lovely

Girlintheframe · 15/07/2022 19:37

I think you look fab. Love the jumpsuit! Only thing I'm not sold on is the tea dress

TheOGCCL · 15/07/2022 19:44

I like the jumpsuit but would like to see what shoes, as think that makes a difference. The jumpsuit looks like it would look better with heels for example.

I don’t like the v neck floral neck, seems a bit fussy and as a result somewhat old ladyish. But again shoes could make or break.

TheCanyon · 15/07/2022 19:51

To hard to see the dresses to say either way The jumpsuit looks great but is it too big on your torso? I'd love a jumpsuit but I've the bladder of a toilet training toddler

GreyTS · 15/07/2022 20:59

I think with your figure you could do better, they all look a bit blah tbh. I have a v similar build ie lean and muscular and I stay away from anything frilly or flouncy, mainly go for separates, almost always halter neck, high neck etc tucked into wide legged trousers or shorts or skirts. I wear silky cami tops a lot too after avoiding sleeveless for years (muscles) and actually love the look now. Zara is my go to, sizing is perfect, I'll try to link some stuff

GreyTS · 15/07/2022 21:09

These are all things I've bought and worn recently

Agree with everything GreyTS says - you can do better with your lovely figure.

IvorCutler · 15/07/2022 22:07

I think you’d look good in anything. You look slim and strong, 🤌

Penguinsaregreat · 15/07/2022 22:11

You love fabulous in all of them especially the jumpsuit.

quietnightmare · 15/07/2022 22:31

Jumpsuit is the best

TheLassWiADelicateAir · 15/07/2022 22:40

I like the tea dress. The photo is too dark to see much of the other dress. Don't like the jump suit.
