Is this dress stylish or just odd?!

Looking for advice on whether to keep or return this dress (excuse the rubbish photo!) It’s lovely cotton and I think the print is gorgeous BUT it’s totally unlike anything I’d normally wear (jeans/shorts/miniskirts) and I’m not sure if it’s stylish or just makes me look a bit bonkers (my DC laughed when I tried it on and said it made me look “like an old woman from the past” 😳 Is it really that bad? And how would you style it if not? TIA!

I like it!

LividLaVidaLoca · 23/07/2022 20:39

I’m going to need to know why you’ve blocked your hand off, BUT the dress looks lovely on you.

AverageJoan · 23/07/2022 20:40

I like it too!

whatth · 23/07/2022 20:40

I think it's absolutely beautiful and you look amazing in it! Don't know much about styling though!

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 23/07/2022 20:40

it's a very current style.

Melonportal · 23/07/2022 20:41

I think you look great in it

MrsColinRobinson · 23/07/2022 20:42

It's lovely.

Where's it from?

Heroicallyl0st · 23/07/2022 20:43

Gorgeous shape!

I have quite an identifying limb difference (but fair question!) I’ve blocked out my hair too but that’s just because it’s in crap condition 😁

Love it! You look great.

NiqueNique · 23/07/2022 20:43

I like it a lot! Looks great on you and your DC just laughed because they’re not used to seeing you dressed that way.

I’d style it with sandals/chunky shoes/ankle boots but that’s because I’m not doing trainers atm. Lots of women would wear trainers with it, I should think, given the current trend.

fatlazycow · 23/07/2022 20:43

I think it looks great. You have an amazing figure though, I don’t think I would be able to pull it off.

AnyFucker · 23/07/2022 20:44

That dress is lovely

dragonghoul · 23/07/2022 20:44

Forgot to say - it’s from Sezane (in the sale)

I don't usually comment in these parts but had to say this looks really good! Love the sleeve length/detail. White canvas shoes to pull it off in summer? Knee highs in autumn? Dainty gold jewellery to edge it up?

ofwarren · 23/07/2022 20:45

Gorgeous dress. Looks lovely on you

HinchcliffeandMurgatroyd · 23/07/2022 20:45

It’s gorgeous.

Twattergy · 23/07/2022 20:46

Fabulous! You look great. You look like you are quite tall so just wear with flats, maybe long/big earrings?

Hoolahulahoop · 23/07/2022 20:46

I love it & looks amazing with your figure and colouring

Rainallnight · 23/07/2022 20:47

You look amazing. Very elegant and statuesque. I love Sezane

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/07/2022 20:47

Looks lovely.

godmum56 · 23/07/2022 20:47

I think it looks very classy

TabithaTittlemouse · 23/07/2022 20:48

It’s beautiful. You have a gorgeous figure

RichardsGear · 23/07/2022 20:48

It makes you look very slim and elegant.

belimoo · 23/07/2022 20:48

You look great. You also look like you have the figure to pull any outfit off, so fill your boots!
