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!

It looks gorgeous. You look gorgeous!

blebbleb · 23/07/2022 21:41

Stunning. It really suits your tall slim figure. I could never pull it off!

Odd? No, it's currently quite fashionable to wear these Little House on the Prairie dresses.

Verite1 · 23/07/2022 21:43

I love it! Looks amazing on you. Can you link to it.

astoundedgoat · 23/07/2022 21:45

Absolutely gorgeous.

CandyCaneLane0 · 23/07/2022 21:45

It's lovely

C152 · 23/07/2022 21:54

You look fantastic in that dress! And the style is very in.

It's the kind of dress I would try on, think "ooh, I look nice in this", but never actually end up wearing it, cos I like to get my legs out or show my figure off and as nice as I'd look in whatever it is, I'd always revert to your. See also: maxi dresses that live in my wardrobe, get tried on once a year but never make the cut.

It looks beautiful. Don't ever doubt yourself! If you like it then that should be reasonable enough to keep it (and wear it!) but if I had a lovely slim figure (I used to - RIP) I'd wear that dress for every possible occasion (even just putting the bins out and doing a twirl for the neighbours 🤣)

Anystarinthesky · 23/07/2022 21:59

It's lovely and really suits your slender figure.

sleepyhoglet · 23/07/2022 22:00

Well I can tell you are tall and slim and I think the dress is very now. I like it on you

Girlintheframe · 23/07/2022 22:02

I love it!

GreenClock · 23/07/2022 22:03

It’s great!

JimmiChoux · 23/07/2022 22:13

I think you look lovely in the dress, it fits you really well. It's a keeper.

PlinkPlonkFizz · 23/07/2022 22:13

It is a beautiful dress and you carry it well. Ignore the DC and wear it with pride!

dragonghoul · 23/07/2022 22:28

I’m genuinely touched by these comments, thank you - I will wear it with confidence now! For those asking, here is the link (currently sold out but occasionally things pop back into stock): www.sezane.com/en/product/delphina-dress/mini-flowers-peach-and-green#size-6

It really suits you. You look amazing in it.

Mythreefavouritethings · 23/07/2022 22:31

Another one to say you look lovely in it, I’d be more swayed by your pic than the model’s, it suits you.

sheepandcaravan · 23/07/2022 22:37

Absolutely made for you. Just lovely

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 23/07/2022 22:40

It's lovely

1000chairs · 23/07/2022 22:54

Looks lovely. Ignore DC's.

TenoringBehind · 23/07/2022 22:58

It looks fabulous on you!

JasmineVioletRose · 23/07/2022 23:04

Love it!

Apollonia1 · 23/07/2022 23:08

Your figure is amazing and it totally suits you.
I'd wear it with white canvas runners in summer, or beige ankle boots (in autumn).

Springdaisy · 23/07/2022 23:13

I like the style/cut, not the color.
