Am I too old for this dress?

[Retiredandreadytotravel]

Do you think I can get away with this dress for Europe this summer ? I am almost 59. Size 10 (hope it fits haven't received it yet). I’m now thinking the print is quite young ? Thanks for your input

It is gorgeous and you can absolutely wear it!

The Alémais dress is beautiful. The Amazon retailer ripping off Alémais' designs is disgusting behaviour and illegal.

Not at all, it's beautiful.

Yes it is the real thing, I didn’t realise how many Amazon dupes there are though ! I’m sure they don’t use the quality fabrics of Alemais…

Wow I just clicked on your Amazon link. They don’t even try to be different. That is really dreadful….

Thank you I’ll have a look 🙌

It’s Alemais x

Thanks everyone such lovely comments what a gorgeous community 😍

What a fabulous investment piece! You'll have years of pleasure wearing that and looking beautiful .
And thanks for sharing the brand . Hadn't heard of them before and now love their clothes .

The Amazon ones will look nothing like the real ones. Alémais, despite the complex designs seem particularly susceptible to being ripped off. I know that they try to get them removed. I've sent them links a couple of times.

I would say it's a dress for an older lady! You might be too young for it...

Wear what the hell you like! I have never given a shiny shit about others’ views on my attire

I think it’s lovely, I’m 54 and would definitely wear it.

Lovely dress, enjoy wearing it

I love it!

For me it gives me a mental image of the chic beauties Isabelle Huppert or Lena Olin- both much older than you!

Honestly? You can absolutely wear this dress. It’s playful, yes, but not childish—it has that elegant, vintage postcard feel that would look gorgeous strolling through a European town. The shape is flattering and classic, and the soft pink and cream tones give it a grown-up charm.

You're nearly 59, not invisible. If you like it, and it makes you feel good, that’s really all that matters. Style doesn’t come with an age limit—and frankly, that dress with a good pair of sandals, sunglasses, and confidence? Chef’s kiss. Hope it fits perfectly
!

I’m 65 and I’d wear it!

It's lovely. Just FYI, the 10 in the label is SIZE not AGE. Hope that helps 😉

Love it. Would make me smile every time I saw it in my wardrobe and I'd be giddy as a kipper wearing it.

It’s a beautiful summer dress and you are certainly not too old. Enjoy wearing it!

It’s lovely. Wear and enjoy! (And for the record why on earth would you be too old? Wear with attitude and a great lippie!)

I love Alemais clothes in the summer. That dress is beautiful.

I have a linen shirt, it's a bit loud, but it's one of my most favourite items of clothing.

I've seen lots of amazon rip offs and also influencers including them in their "hauls". Gross.

I meant the dress is try hard not the Op.

I am nearly 55 and wear Get Cutie so no stranger to dresses with prints and pictures.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your kind comments. The dress has arrived, fits like a glove and looks good. Could possibly have gone up a size and TBH needs to be lined (what is it with expensive brands and linen, and no lining ?) but otherwise will be gorgeous for the summer

Not just me! I thought it very old fashioned and frumpy. The top part makes it look like a night dress!
