And if she what shoes would suit?

I'm not keen. It's a bit frumpy
40is pretty young still.

That's a pretty dress. I'm not sure what a Function room is. Is this like a village hall? Are you worried you'd be over dressed?

Oh I don't see it as frumpy at all. I see it like 1920s and elegant, a bit artdeco-ish

Like a function room in a pub or venue where there's space for a party.
I'm not sure
I've not been to an evening party in absolute years so I have no idea what to wear

I see it the same.

I think it's beautiful! Not frumpy.

Don't think it's frumpy at all! I'm 31 and I would wear it. Probably just with some simple black strappy heels!

Yes.

Not at all frumpy and I would have thought very suitable.

I like it, shoes like the model

Well these venues can vary wildly! I went to one recently that was really nicely done, but as for the guests we were in a vast array of clothing. I was on the dressier side, but I would always rather that than under. Your dress will be great!

Exactly that.

Personally I'm not over keen on it but each to their own, to me it is a bit frumpy. Heels are always nice with any dress
