I wear one in black and I'm much older than you

StrangerOnline · 09/11/2022 16:43

Definitely not

Quaffee · 09/11/2022 16:43

Lol I'm 51, size 14 and 5'1
I bought it last year and I love it! It's very stretchy, very warm and you can dress it up or down. You are never too old! Go for it!

girlmom21 · 09/11/2022 16:44

I think you'll look fab

LovelyBitOfSquirrel69 · 09/11/2022 16:45

Phew, thanks! Like the look of it.

Absolutely not, it’ll look great!

MrsGamgee · 09/11/2022 16:46

That's really nice. I'm 30 and I'd wear it exactly the way you style it

Zeeza · 09/11/2022 16:47

It looks amazing. I was expecting a micro skirt or a boob tube when I clicked. Enjoy!

LovelyBitOfSquirrel69 · 09/11/2022 16:48

LOL @Zeeza I defo can't rock that look!

Of course you can! It'll look great.

fantasmasgoria1 · 09/11/2022 16:50

You should wear whatever you want to. Too many people say am I too old to wear this. Well you are not!

ThreeKneeRepeater · 09/11/2022 16:51

Be warned, Roman charge you for returning things ordered online if you haven’t got a shop near you.
it cost me £3 to try on a dress at home. I won’t order from them again.

Mabelface · 09/11/2022 16:51

I'm nearly 53 and have a pinafore dress with dinosaurs on. Wear what you like, age shouldn't come into it.

SirChenjins · 09/11/2022 16:52

This is the sort of thing I wear in winter - I’m the same age as you and roughly the same size, and I think I look brilliant 🤩

No, you’re definitely not too old!

StrokeAllDogsandCats · 09/11/2022 17:06

You are not too old. Tights and chunky boots will look great. It’s a nice combo of smart and casual :) I’d wear that and I’m much younger than you (28).

I'm 53 and liking the look of this! 5'3, and a size 16 apple. Would it suit an apple shape?

And would it look OK with knee high boots?

Yes, scroll through different colours - can’t remember which, but one of them shows knee- high books. Looks good

I think it's the kind of look that suits any shape

Astrabees · 09/11/2022 17:19

I’m 66 and see no reason not to wear a pinafore dress. This one is perfectly OK but I would probably look for one with more design details, maybe studs on pockets.

inamarina · 09/11/2022 17:21

It looks lovely 🙂

MrsElm · 09/11/2022 19:52

Have ordered in the wine colour 😍☺️

The reviews suggest it's stretchy. I've ordered my usual size.

How exciting! Had a navy one from warehouse years ago …just ordered this in green! Thanks for the inspiration 😊

oh, and I’m almost 52, size 14 and 5’7”
