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

Wear what suits you and flatters you, whatever weight/age.
You could carry a lot of weight on your hips and still be good in that.

That's a strong colour so make sure it's one that works on you.
I'm 65 and just don't show my knees, but otherwise have the same style I've always had.

Exactly. If it fits and I like it, it's for me.

I think it’s a lovely dress & would be a flattering fit regardless of size. Amy age too. Go for it, I’m sure you’ll look lovely

Doesn’t matter what size as long as they stock that size of course. As for age, it would suit any age

Lovely, forgiving dress for any age or size !

You should wear what you feel good in x

Great dress, lovely colour. Empire waist and fit and flare are known to be flattering to all figures. Have a lovely time at the wedding. Ooh just saw your update about selling out! Lots of similar designs out there :)

If it's covering shoulders and knees, it's going to be the most flattering for any large lady. If it's a lovely dress, which it is, go for it.

That is a gorgeous dress and I am sure you are a gorgeous woman who will look gorgeous wearing it. Go for it

Beautiful dress
No age limit
No size limit

Not entirely true

Depends where you carry the fat. I'm very podgy round the middle - a real apple and although I'm a 14 that dress would look awful on me

I have a friend who carries her weight totally differently and still has a relatively flat stomach and defined waist, although she's 18 plus most clothes look good on her

Age is irrelevant here

It’s a lovely dress and is timeless. Great choice and I might get one myself x

It's beautiful and what a fabulous colour!

Try Vinted! Search the exact brand, dress, size and colour you need and you may get lucky.

I think you could be too young for this dress, but not too old! It's not saying slim twenty-something to me. But anyone else fine.

I actually think I ordered the denim version from M&S. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I have a long body and a small waist. And the middle bit didn't hit my waist at all and made it feel big a bellowy on me.

Any age as long as it fits - especially your boobs. It doesn't look like it has much boob space!

I have it in denim. V nice but I had to sew up the v a bit as was far too low. If you look, is v low on the model too. Comes sort of under the boobs!

You're never to old for this one!

I have the long sleeved version of this dress in cord and also the black seersucker type fabric. It is beautiful on, although my work colleague did say the green cord was a bit 'Maid Marian' due to the billowy sleeves I'm a 10/12 and bought it in the 12 - the 10 was a bit snug under the bust. I wear a camisole underneath as it its very low cut.

Next also sell Nobody's Child online if that helps?

I wish more clothes sellers will get the idea to use fatter models to show their clothes esp online ones. Just from a practical point of view, it's hard to know if it looks good on someone fatter or shorter. Then they'll save in return costs!

M&S sell it, try their website 🤞🏻

The biggest size available is size 14 so this is a daft question.

@Lovesgotme "The biggest size available is size 14 so this is a daft question."

Other sizes were available when I originally posted- so this is a daft comment.

Try Fat Face they had a similar one with more flattering neckline perhaps… the red one was in the sale at 50% off!
(So I bought two!)

There’s an -18 in green when I looked this morning!
