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!

Looks lovely on you OP, I would definitely buy it based off of your photo!

Love it!

I don’t think it looks odd or bonkers at all - it’s very classy 😊
The only issue could be that you might feel it’s “not you” and therefore not wear it very often. But it’s a lovely dress and it looks great on you.

Wow you have an amazing figure, the dress looks fabulous on you.

I'm glad everyone likes it because that's the type of dress I would wear. It's beautiful on you. Hope you told your children not to be so cheeky and be more kind?

You look very good in it but it will date quickly - definitely not a classic piece.

it's a very current style.

It's very current style and has been for decades. I've got dresses which look like that and are from the early 1990s.

It's beautiful.

It's absolutely beautiful - and it's lined too !

Just had a better look at the dress via your link - it’s definitely stunning!

Lovely

Pooet · 24/07/2022 10:50

You look amazing. You have the perfect figure for that dress.

xyzabchij · 24/07/2022 10:53

If I could pull that dress off the way you have I'd be wearing it non stop

boatahoy · 24/07/2022 11:50

The dress really suits you! I bought a similar style dress from Me and Em, totally unlike anything I've worn before and it felt so comfortable on. I'm not that tall so the midi is like a maxi length on me Grin

ShouldersBackChestOutChinUp · 24/07/2022 12:46

It's lovely. Looks great

uncomfortablydumb53 · 24/07/2022 14:00

Dress is gorgeous and you look lovely in it
DC's have only commented because it's a different look for you

luckylavender · 24/07/2022 18:25

I like it!

Divebar2021 · 24/07/2022 19:13

It’s very sweet and lovely and I’m not particularly a lover of sweet and lovely but it looks wonderful on you. If I were made to wear it I’d take it in a Vampires Wife direction

Rainbowshit · 24/07/2022 19:20

Absolutely love it. Really suits you. Wish I had the figure to wear a dress like that.

Riverlee · 24/07/2022 19:21

Love it (off to Google Suzanne)
