It's caught my eye. Not at all my style, I'm told I scrub up OK but I'm generally very ordinarily dressed. Sometimes a short skirt.but pretty modest.

I have and evening wedding do to go to. Lots of people I know there, including one I aim to impress 😆

I'm 53, tall, slim, blonde, but not in the least bit glam. Not much bust. I'd probably wear it with flat sandals.

Am I going to look ridiculous?

Is the blue better?

It’s very glam. I wouldn’t personally wear it as it shows a lot of leg but it depends what it’s like on and also what kind of wedding it is.

If it’s just the evening do and everybody is going to be dressed up it will be fine.

You might look like a bridesmaid. The last wedding I went to the dresses were quite similar to that.

It's gorgeous. I'd love to be able to pull it off

At least buy her a drink first!

Definitely dont wear with flat sandals. But if you feel good, go for it

Evening only would be ok imo assuming it’s your average wedding. I think it’s more about your confidence as you need some to wear it, will it boost your confidence by wearing it, or make you feel out of sorts/ self conscious? I think people look their best when they seem fully comfortable in what they are wearing.

It will look odd with flats - and I say that as someone who wears flats 99% of the time. It's not the sort of dress you can dress down. You either need to embrace the full-on glam look or choose another option.

Oh that will look gorgeous if you have a slim figure but not with flats

I agree with others not a dress to wear with flats.

You won't know till you try it on.

It's a bit... obvious?

I think flat sandals could work if they are pretty /delicate - metallic would be my pic.

Yes, that what I had in mind, probably silver with a bit of sparkle

I thought Lipsy was a teen brand, I'm the same age as you and it's not on my radar. If it looks good and makes you feel confident go for it.

I think the blue is better. The burgundy makes me think of Christmas with the colour and sequins etc.

I've never thought of it as teen, more middle aged trying a bit hard 😆 but no it's certainly not a go to on mine. They have it on Next now, that's where I was looking 😆

I think it looks great and if you've got the figure for it absolutely get it and enjoy being glam.

Honestly, it’s a bit dated and naff. I also think it would look odd with flats. It’s a bit ‘cruise trip chic’.

Just my opinion, obviously!

Something g about it seems quite old fashioned to me, I think it's the top half - the design seems like something the mother of the bride may wear (but not the bottom half!)
Or it's a bit prom dressy/bridesmaidy.

If you are trying to attract someone you know you need to appear as yourself, not as someone you will never be again.

Order it and see what it is like on. Personally not my cup of tea, but I’m a great believer in wearing what makes you happy and confident.

It's very camp, very Jane Mcdonald (and she's a total queen obviously!).. get it on, hair and lippy, quaff back the champs, hold court and flirt outrageously with the object of your desire!! Enjoy.

I think it looks like a dress for someone in their mid fifties. The colour, the fabric, the cut are all quite old fashioned and really weird for a summer wedding and just wouldn't go with flats at all.

It will look like you're in your nightie if you wear it with flats.

Agree, if you feel good in it, go for it.
personally, it looks rather dated and a bit naff, bit ‘loud’.

Something Like this says summer wedding glam to me, and would look great with flat sandals
