Is this dress ok for a first date?

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 😬

You look gorgeous! I hope you have a great time on the date!

BlackSwan · 29/01/2023 11:59

Could you try black shoes with it though? I'm not convinced by the nude shoes.

massivesalads · 29/01/2023 11:59

Op you look amazing! Wear the dress!

I never look at someone and think "wow they're so overdressed"

TangledWebOfDeception · 29/01/2023 12:02

Oh I love it! It looks great on you and that green is one of my favourite colours!

Good luck on the date, hope you have a great time!

Paq · 29/01/2023 12:03

It's great, you look fabulous!

KickAssAngel · 29/01/2023 12:03

Look at yourself sitting down at a table. The top is fine if it stays in place, but make sure that it doesn't move and expose more as you sit down. You want to be able to relax and not worry about what your dress is doing if you move.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/01/2023 12:05

It looks great but maybe a bit much for a first date? I don't like the shoes though - would be better with heeled black ankle boots and a biker, maybe?

Mummymidwife33 · 29/01/2023 12:06

Love it! You look stunning!
I would wear that on a first date.

Actually where is it from please?!

And please give us an update on the date!

Purplecatshopaholic · 29/01/2023 12:08

Stunning dress op. You’ll knock his socks off in that!

Redebs · 29/01/2023 12:08

I'm not yer mum, but that's a lot of chest on show 😅

Livinghappy · 29/01/2023 12:14

Its quite booby for a first meeting too

I was thinking this^ especially if you met OLD, you turn up very glam and he looks nothing like his pictures!

However given you know him...I do think it is a little booby, less is more etc

Nameneeded · 29/01/2023 12:16

You look amazing ! The colour is lovely too.

StarsSand · 29/01/2023 12:19

Stunning!!

I don't think it's too booby at all, and the sleeves balance it out anyway.

I agree you should dress it down a little, maybe flat shoes and a casual hairstyle.

ThirtyThreeTrees · 29/01/2023 12:22

I think you look stunning. You've a great figure. I'm wish I had your legs. It's a lovely dress and the colour suits you too.

I disagree with the too much cleavage comments. It's sexy not trashy. You aren't spilling out of the dress or anything. It's not like you are going to the library or a parent teacher meeting.

The shoes are OK but if you have an alternative try them instead.

Hope it goes well.

IsThePopeCatholic · 29/01/2023 12:23

Too revealing and I don’t think the shoes go with it.

ThirtyThreeTrees · 29/01/2023 12:25

PS - can you please add link to the dress ar some stage? Might have to purchase!

maddiemookins16mum · 29/01/2023 12:26

It’s lovely. Really fits you nicely too. Have a lovely time.

TangledWebOfDeception · 29/01/2023 12:26

It's not too revealing. 🙄

OP knows the man, it's not as if they'e meeting for the first time.

I agree on shoes, I'd wear black, burgundy or navy. But if you're set on the shoes, wear a bag to match as that way it will at least make sense.

TangledWebOfDeception · 29/01/2023 12:26

*they're

Girlintheframe · 29/01/2023 12:28

I think you look stunning!! Beautiful dress and suits your coloring. Perfect for dinner!

Only negative thing I would say the shoes aren't quite the right colour. Other than that you look amazing

Amberamethyst · 29/01/2023 12:29

Any ideas for better shoes?

I have similar in black? Or gold?

Vitriolinsanity · 29/01/2023 12:29

As my nana would say, boobs or leg. Because it fits it looks elegant without being wey hey!

Have a lovely time x

Ethelfromnumber73 · 29/01/2023 12:30

You look amazing. Hope you have a wonderful time.

TangledWebOfDeception · 29/01/2023 12:30
