Can I wear this? And what with?

I know, I know...people can wear whatever they want etc 🤣 BUT...

On one hand I really love this - sleeves, smock style but not like a sack, nice length, black, bit of sparkle, feels quite festive 🤷🏻‍♀️
But on the other hand I feel like I should be pairing it with one of those padded personalised velvet 90s headbands and going to my school Christmas party 🤣🤣

It’s for a Christmas night out - just dinner and drinks. I’m 32, size 20, hate my legs so would be wearing with tights.

(I already have it so being sold out isn’t an issue! I just can’t decide whether to keep it)

I think it's nice! Keep it.

DutchessOfMuck · 11/12/2022 23:18

I think its lovely. Will be nice with tights, shoes, small clutch bag and minimal accessories.

Hope you have a lovely evening op

Great neckline and fab sleeves.

Do you have to walk far? I love the platform sandals that are everywhere atm.

I'd be tempted to get a sequinned blazer too, is that going too far?

@Claudia84 @DutchessOfMuck thank you 😊

@Balaya Literally taxis door to door so would be the ideal time for a fab pair of “sit down shoes” as I like to call them 😅 but I still have a dodgy pelvis from delivering my rather robust DS and it doesn’t thank me for wearing heels 😅 I’ve just done a huge vinted clear out of all my higher heels so I’m on the hunt for something lower and dressy.

Would black tights and a heeled ankle boot work?

Shame it's sold out or I would have bought it too!

@RosalindsAFuckingNightmare They did also have a top and a playsuit in the same fabric 😊 not sure if either of them are in stock!

Tights and ankle boots will still look great.

DramaAlpaca · 11/12/2022 23:46

That's fab, keep it.

Isthatmcormac · 12/12/2022 00:09

@DutchessOfMuck @DramaAlpaca Thank you both 😊

It's lovely OP.

MovinOnUp · 12/12/2022 00:50

I would wear chunky soled boots with that.
(A big padded headband would look awesome with it too)
Have a great night!

MovinOnUp · 12/12/2022 01:02

Not a personalised one right enough ☺️

Isthatmcormac · 12/12/2022 05:58

@catandcoffee Thanks 😊

@MovinOnUp Thank you! I think it was the velvety feel that threw me off 🤣 I put it on and instantly felt like I’d gone back to the 90s and needed my headband 🤣

Thanks for all your opinions - MN has spoken, the dress stays 👏🏼 Now to find some boots 😊

RuthW · 12/12/2022 06:53

Love that frock. You will look fab.

Isthatmcormac · 12/12/2022 12:50

@RuthW Thank you 😊

Love it op! That will look great with boots or shoes, heeled or flat. Enjoy.

Puzzledstill · 12/12/2022 12:57

It’s lovely tights and boots x

@Purplecatshopaholic @Puzzledstill
You’re all lovely, thank you 😊
Its a work Christmas night out and my very first night out and first time away from DS (apart from my 3 days per week at work) since he was born.....and he’s now TWO 😳😳🤣🤣 I’ve literally never done anything on my own apart from go to work since he was born 🤣
Not quite sure that I even know how to go out without him but we’ll see how we get on 🙈
