Is this dress ok for a first date?

[Amberamethyst]

I don't know why I've bothered to hide my face as if you know me you know me!

I got this website recommended and ordered this dress, they send the wrong colour as if orders blue. But I think the green is nice too!

Honest opinions on it for first date 😬

Looks great on you - it's very formal though so it might seem too much unless you're going somewhere 'dressy'.

I think it's beautiful but quite dressy so depends where you're going? You look stunning in it

Absolutely! Do you feel good? Because ultimately, that's all that matters!

Yes it's lovely! Unless you're going to a pub or dog walking 😉

Yes it's quite a formal restaurant

It’s lovely and you look great but it depends on the date.
Its quite booby for a first meeting too

You look great, but it is very dressy. I used to go on first dates in jeans!
Where are you going?

Depends entirely on where you are going.

It’s very dressy, i would wear that dress as a wedding guest. It’s lovely though!

I think it can work you are going to a very instagrammable restaurant or cocktail bar where you can see on the location tags that people are very much dressing to impress- but it would look out of place in a more rustic little bistro. Also not massively practical if you think you might be bar hoping.

although tbh on mumsnet a standard first date seems to be getting dragged around a park like a beagle. so i’m just happy for you that you are going to get to know someone in a nice, romantic setting if you are considering wearing that dress!

I don’t think it looks very dressy, I think it’s perfect for a dinner out.

It's gorgeous and perfect for a posh restaurant. It will make quite an impact but on the right way.

It’s lovely - where’s it from please @Amberamethyst ?

Check the location tags on insta. See what people are wearing.

i’m not trying to piss on your chips- it’s a lovely dress, but even very formal restaurants are likely to have people in jumpers, blouses and jeans.

you’ll look fabulous, but I personally hate feeling overdressed so it’s worth checking out the vibe before

i think it could be dressed down with some opaques, chelsea boots, little leather jacket, hair down.

have a lovely time!

I like the dressing it down idea.

Lovely, you look great in it. Have a fun date!

Issue is I'm not great with makeup so I definitely won't look insta 'done'

The colour suits you - I think, obvs can't see your face.

It's lovely but I wouldn't wear it on a first date. It feels too formal and I wouldn't want him talking to my boobs all night.

Does it need a popper so it's not white so low?

I think it looks great. Not too booby or too formal. I always wear dresses and would much prefer to be over dressed than under dressed but this is not overdressed. Just keep make up simple.
love your hair as well.

You look great... classy and confident. I'd give this a big thumbs up for a restaurant date :)

Looks great on you! Do you comfortable in it or are boobs too much on display

i think you look fabulous. and not too booby. as it is a maxi you can easily get away with a bit of boob (imo a bit of boob is never a bad thing anyway)

just because everyone else may be casual doesn't mean you do. it's not like a ball dress - will look lovely in a nice restaurant regardless what others are doing.

basically you look amazing - go one your date knowing you look hot and the whole of mumsnet is wishing you luck!

I think it's lovely

Dress is nice, I absolutely hate the heels though. I agree with PP who suggested dressing it down.

Thanks for much for the reassuring comments.

First date after the end of a 22 year marriage.

I'm ready to move on to the next chapter and I've know the guy for a while so we are friends
