I'm loving the denim dresses and skirts in the shops at the moment but not sure whether I can rock the look, being 53! Any of you lovely lot seen anything that fits the bill? Midi length. I'm 5.5 tall, size 12.

I'm the same age, same height and same size as you and have this, looks really nice. If you have big boobs I'd recommend trying the size up as well. I find nobodys child are always cut for small breasts. (I'm a 32FF)

Cos has lots - take a forged passport to be on the safe side:

You’re missing the bigger picture, @IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle. The OP needs the section of denim clothing they’re allowed to sell to people who are 53. It’s very limited; most stores haven’t seen such a request this century.

Thoughts and prayers, @Whosaidthattt …

OP, go for it. I’m 40 something and have 3. Denim dresses are timeless and ageless. A micro-mini, may be another matter.

I should probably have added an appropriate emoji to each of my posts - here they are for the avoidance of doubt, as tone is so difficult to judge with words on a screen:

Absolutely! 53 is young!

Whosaidthattt · 28/07/2024 16:06

🤣🤣 Ahh, thanks guys! Lots of ideas there, some lovely ones too. Didn't realise the age police patrolled some websites!! Now just gonna think about getting a fake ID before I attempt to get one!! 🥸🥸

And even if 53 were the oldest age any human being had ever reached - you would still be allowed to purchase a denim dress from any shop you liked the look of.

Yes. It's irrelevant if 53 is old or not old.

I have a friend who works at Sainsbury's and is always dressed completely in tu ( staff discount) and always looks fabulous. They have some great stuff.
