It's lovely , I'm older and I'd wear it, only reason I actually wouldn't is that I'm top heavy and bib things aren't flattering .
I'm sure it will look fab on you

I'm 50 and want it. Is a 10 their smallest size?

I like it & you aren’t too old.

I’m 52 and asked the same question recently about a very similar pinafore. I now live in it 😁

LovelyBitOfSquirrel69 · 11/11/2022 09:19

For those of you who were ordering, mine arrived yesterday and I'm sorry to say that the sizing is not very generous! I'll have to exchange for the next size up.

I joined the pinafore club too and ordered the navy. Arrived today I love it. Thanks OP for the inspiration!

I was wearing a very similar dress well into my 60s for teaching, so not too old, though agree it better suits those with smaller breasts.

I love it , been looking for one for ages, I ordered one from George at asda which I picked up today but its huge, I ordered a size 12 thinking cheaper clothes would be cut smaller, but it came up like a size 14, I'm finding m&s jeggings i now need a 12 and in this dress from George I would need a 8, why can't all retailers do the same sizing.

Mine arrived today and I am very happy with the fit and colour. Now just need to get some suitable tops for under it!

I'm 53. Love a sleeveless dress cos can wear different coloured top underneath and jazz up with funky tights. Too old? No way. In your prime. 🙂

Summerlark · 17/01/2023 05:11

At 58, I think that outfit is too old for me! Just why would you want to wear something reminiscent of a school gym slip?

ChillysWaterBottle · 17/01/2023 05:13

No. Go for it x

KirstenBlest · 17/01/2023 06:00

I'm older than you and wear pinafores a lot. They tend to ride up when one sits down otherwise great.

Morestrangethings · 17/01/2023 06:05

I like it, and like a pp, if I wasn’t so top heavy I’d wear one. So practical and looks good.

Thank you, I was just dithering between 2 sizes, size up it is.
