I am 2 inches shorter than the model, have to wear flat shoes.
Size 8. I want too wear it as much as possible :) I bought it as it is beautiful and cannot find ways to wear it. Thanks for any help!
It looks white on my screen but it is very pale pink.

I tend to wear dark tops. I like the idea of navy with pale pink. Would this top work or would there be issues at the waist?

Off topic but I LOVE that top, reminds me of Loewe style.

OP, I think it would be easier to style if it was white as I would suggest a black vest top or waistcoat style top.

I struggle with pink near my face myself, I woud definitely go more fitted on top to counteract the flowiness.

Just don't wear it with Tabis like on the picture!

@frumpydump I just saw your thread which got lots of lovely contributions - you said you have no sense of style, so people with experience/knowledge offered help. Your post here is like me posting "no one except you gives a shit what you look like" on your thread. Just pointless and mean.

Ok you don't like it. No problem, but it is made by a very well respected and loved designer and it's hardly a wacky or bizarre piece is it? A long pale skirt for spring/summer?

You were probably just hot and grumpy but then you keep coming back and doubling down, just stop! Be glad you got some help on your thread, like I am here. And stop sniping in S&B, it's not the place for it, AIBU is elsewhere!!

I am 51 and think it would be too young on me, but lovely for someone in 20s!! thank you

It really wouldn't.

I have skirts in a similar shape although not as pale and I pretty them up further with cardigans or tops from Palava

I think there’s a difference between “I have some ideas” or “how would you style this” and “I’ve spent a ton of money on this ugly skirt that I now can’t wear”.

The skirt is horrendous btw

What a nasty comment. I noted there was a very similar comment on your own thread about a dress you own, but which is now deleted.

I hope no one reports your comment so we can all see it. Oh and this skirt is much nicer than your dress.

I see you perfectly embody the spirit of your username, dump.

Ah nonmerci99 I now understand your (now deleted) comment on frumpydump's thread

nonmerci99 · Today 12:04

Yeah I was just taking the piss as she’s been so nasty here, surprised she can be so rude but I can’t be sarcastic in reply to that?!

PamelaDoov · Today 12:07

Came for a pic of the skirt, stayed for frumpydump getting her arse handed to her 🤌

faithfultoGeorgeMichael · Today 12:16

I like @frumpydump 's dress (on her thread), it is baffling thou, the colour is pretty much identical to my skirt! It's also long - albeit a dress and with added polka dots! Really quite similar imo but what do I know..... 😂

The navy Cos top I posted (and own!) also comes in brown ;-)

That’s a lovely skirt. I wear a lot of those sorts of skirt. I would go for a contrasting colour in a bold print in something like a light green. It also would need a belt:

Op I’m wearing this today in navy, on me it’s about 4 inches from the top of my foot so much longer than the model and the skirt appears much wider, than it appears on her, so a similar vibe to your skirt.

you can see a T-shirt top works well with it, so I’d also say a close fitting T-shirt would also work and be very flattering.

@frumpydump , I just read your thread and I’m really stunned you came on here and decided to attack. Especially in the dress you were in yesterday, which is a little more out there than the ops style. and that by your own admission you struggle with style.

it wasn’t nice, I think I’d apologise. You wanted people to be nice to you then didn’t extend the same kindness.
