Aged 46, size 8. Wedding in Sept. Is it a bit prom like, youthful, mutton / lamb?

Whoa there, tiger

Is it just me or are posts in text talk just annoying?

Shelley49F · 04/07/2024 09:19

It’s very beautiful, very chic and demure. I love lace 😍
But to be honest who cares what you wear as long as you like it and are comfortable x forget age there’s no rules to what we can wear. I’m 49 by the way if you hadn’t guessed by the username 🤣

No it’s not just you. Apart from being vicious, that poster is irritating and it’s deflected from the OP.

OP, the dress is beautiful and you will be too.

Rock it darling - you will look superb in whatever you choose. And congratulations on your wedding.

No, you will look amazing in it! We are not old, we are women with life experience. Congrats on the forthcoming wedding 💜

I'm late to the thread but just wanted to say that I love the dress. Beautiful and classy 👌

popsickle555 · 04/07/2024 21:28

It's gorgeous!

Grammarnut · 04/07/2024 21:35

Lovely. Entirely the right dress.

Never too old to wear what you like. The dress is beautiful and elegant.

But what if, what U like doesn`t like U ??

Ilikeadrink14 · 30/06/2024 22:56

What a strange thing to say, and rather unfriendly. I don’t think the lady asking for advice was wanting a bitter twisted reply like yours!
She will look gorgeous, so you’ll just have to lump it! If you can’t say something pleasant and/or constructive, don’t waste people’s time!

She asked - I replied
> if DONT like the reply, DONT ask ...

Hesma · 04/07/2024 22:36

I think it’s beautiful. I’d wear it if I had the figure.

oakleaffy · 04/07/2024 23:05

@MistressOfCopperMountain That’s a beautiful lace dress.
No way are you “Too old” for it

It’s lovely.

I think Pepsi Max is probably jealous of OP’s fine slim figure. 🙂

@PepsiMaxPerfect will you just lay off it

IMarchToADifferentDrummer · 05/07/2024 07:22

Oooh, that's a gorgeous dress, and NO, you are definitely NOT too old!!

JMSA · 05/07/2024 07:40

Oh my goodness, definitely not too old!
Wear it!
I prefer the first one as I hate the granny-ish length of the second.

MistressOfCopperMountain · 05/07/2024 07:51

@PepsiMaxPerfect Thank you for your opinion. I have heard it. I bought the dress, I look amazing in it and will have a fantastic day. You can go shave your back now.

The dress is lovely! Very classy. Ignore @PepsiMaxPerfect she seems like an uneducated troll. Can't even string together a proper sentence 😂 #chav

I was 49 when I married dh. My dress was a £99 monsoon one. I got lots of positive comments. It showed cleavage.

I like yours (1st)

I think it's too close to looking like a wedding dress tbh

BellyPaula67 · 05/07/2024 18:07

Sorry, unless it's you that's getting married. It's beautiful 😍
