Dress for mother's 94th birthday party

I bought this, but not sure because of the twist in the middle - it feels really unflattering. I normally love Jigsaw and I like this print and length. Any other suggestions please?

I think it and you look stunning, I really like it, saying that, if you don't feel it in that dress then maybe go a different way. The way a dress makes you feel makes a huge difference, but I think it's really lovely.

My phone can't enlarge your pics, but from what I can see, it looks like it fits you beautifully! Very flattering, I'd say.

If you want a few alternative ideas, what's your budget/size? And are you open to other colours or would you prefer similar pinks/blues ditsy floral type?

Congrats to your Mum, btw. 94 is pretty impressive.

Absolutely gorgeous, don't change a thing.

It looks beautiful on you and fits really well.

You're all really kind but ... it feels as if there is this lump where the material twists and it cancels my waist.

Budget around £100 - £150, size 8, this sort of length.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I tend to do French Connection and Jigsaw, but less impressed with the latter this year.

And thank you re my mother! Yes, still lives completely independently, walks miles, pals with a land girl from the last war. 😊

This dress is 25 years old but I like the style if it were much longer.
