How old and fat is too old and fat for this dress at a very informal summer wedding in a field?

That is a lovely dress and I think would suit lots of different shapes.

i think body shape will make this dress and it looks very flattering for a pear or hour glass shape

would love to know what you do for bag and shoes

How old are you?

MN can be very ageist where anyone over 40 is considered old.

My friend has this dress, she is 74 and size 14.

I'm 5'6" and it's fine lengthwise.

I absolutely love that shade of green. 💚

I thought most people here were over 40.

Gorgeous dress - do it!

They have them in stock here in lots of sizes

I think it's lovely. I wonder how it fits women with small boobs.

This is similar OP and you can buy in petite length if the one you have ordered is too long

Try this one OP!
They're always cut to be really flattering:

I really like it!

😁 It really is a personal thing OP. Five people may think you look great (or anyone looks great) in it and one person may think ‘nope, fat and old’.

So, where does that leave anyone’s choice?

I’ve seen this dress and it’s gorgeous, it’s suitable for any age.Regarding body shape I think it would suit all sizes, if it’s too revealing put a Cami top under it.Order it and see what you think, I bet you really like it.

Have you looked on the m&s website as they stock nobody's child

What a wonderful colourfilled photo!

8792, years or stone. Seriously, if it fits, and you love it, then wear it. Have a brilliant time at the wedding :)

I bought this in the sky blue and couldn’t believe how dreadful I looked. I was shocked, as I’d expected it to be super flattering but it showed far too much squashed boob for my liking! And the flare made my hips look 3 times wider than they actually are. Hopefully it will look better on you! Agree it seems to size small.

I have this dress in a size 14 and I’m a busty 61 year old, I love it,it’s super comfy and cool and I say buy it and wear it with confidence , nothing looks as good as a lady with a bloody big smile on her face 😉

It's a beautiful dress. If it fits well and suits you then any age and shape x

Weird. I'd say the opposite. I have a few of their dresses and love this shape. But in size 12 there is acres of spare fabric for my DD boobs. Maybe they have altered the proportions recently. My NC dresses are all at least 3 years old.

I'd wear that but I'm tall and slenderZ I can't imagine shirt and fat wearing that style. You'd look like a wench!
