Is this dress stylish or just odd?!

[dragonghoul]

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 think it suits you. I’d wear it with ballet flats now and boots in autumn.

Wow, what lovely comments - and helpful styling suggestions too. Thanks everyone 😊 I will listen to you and not my cheeky children!

I really like it and you look lovely

I love it!

I was expecting something a bit marmite but that is a really lovely dress and totally ‘now.’

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles you may want to read up thread a bit.

OP honestly what do kids know about style 😆

I really like it too, it suits you.

You look amazing! I'd wear with brown leather flat sandals. Absolutely beautiful dress and you have the ideal figure for it

I’m strictly jeans and I think that’s a lovely dress! Looks great on you too 😊. Kids are always going to find it funny when mum or dad changes up their style but they’ll soon get used to it. Especially seeing as you’re rocking it!

Looks so pretty!

Bloody gorgeous.

Oh, apologies.

Oh my goodness, it’s totally divine

Oh, it’s lovely. Wear with flat tan boots in ten autumn, flat sandals now.

I’m also a jeans girl but this dress is actually stunning

the print and style - and really suits your figure

You look lovely

It's gorgeous, don't return it!

Looks tres chic. I like it 😊

It works because of your stunning figure.

For the avoidance of doubt, you can wear whatever you want and look good in it. Enjoy the magic power, some of us aren't blessed with it!

It looks really lovely on you. You should definitely keep it.

It looks fabulous on you, very classy and elegant.

Gorgeous!

would look good with tan wedges

I love it ! Suits you !

It wouldn't do on me, as I'm a fat fcker and I'd look like an 80's sofa but I love this style on slimmer figures. I'd match it with chunky footwear (DM boots maybe), or trainers, and a denim or biker jacket. With a long chain necklace.
