this

www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/32329375

it just arrived (bought on net) and it is really lovely on and doesn't show my stomach (had dc3 5 months ago and stomach still not great)

Bought to wear to a wedding. BUT.... what do I wear underneath? I am nearly 37 so a bit long in the tooth for wearing it as a mini dress. Suggestions please? I am a large size 12 or a 14 atm.

ooh very cilla

Not leggings! Some slim cigarette pants? (I love that name)

Why couldn't you wear some opaques and heels?

petitfilowersandchocolates · 10/02/2009 19:26

I am considering opaques and heels

southeastastra I take it you don't like it I wasn't sure I'd like it either but it looks good on

Palazzo pants - a la this?

mrsmaidamess · 10/02/2009 19:29

Does the purple match?I'm thinking with black opaques

brimfull · 10/02/2009 19:29

very thick, very good opaques and fab shoes

MrsSeanBeanIsEmployable · 10/02/2009 19:29

nice shoes there MrsM.

southeastastra · 10/02/2009 19:32

no i like it!

Ronaldinhio · 10/02/2009 19:35

not wide trousers...no!!

I'm another one for the tights fab shoes option

alicecrail · 10/02/2009 19:35

Thats lovely. Black tights or cigarette pants as suggested by mrsmadamess. I wasn't sure of the choice of accessories Monsoon suggested though, i mean what grown woman would wear a silver alice band with a butterfly on it

petitfilowersandchocolates · 10/02/2009 19:35

Are these too matchy matchy?

Can you wear opaques with a peep toe? Or will that look naff?

Look for straight slim fitting trousers...gap usually do them, almost like tuxedo trousers for ladies. Ooh with a gold clutch you'll look fandabbydoubledosie!

Tillyscoutsmum · 10/02/2009 19:48

Ooh - I bought a similar shape/style dress from Monsoon a few years ago and have got stacks of wear from it - very flattering.

Agree with thick tights and shoes (possibly wedges)
