Do we like this?

this one

Too young - I know it is but I like it

Yes?

Arms a bit scary

I am 5'11" and a small 14 (was 12 last summer ) and bigger up top than bottom. Nice legs. Wedding to go to but that isn't the most important thing.

BTW as an old bird I should probably try for dignity and elegance (boo!)

We are not amused.

@ La redoute selling anything 'too young', though.

I like the first one best.

Well when you are as old as me anything is too young. But perhaps in that case I meant 'too slim'

But I tend to agree I think.

i liek the last one with the beads!
the model is wearing.
would suit blonde or v dark hair

Ooh yes beads are nice. Might have to wear with cardi though.

or how about a sort of light shrug?

a light shrug sounds delightfully insouciant and Gallic

The last one is rather frumpy
I like the DP one the best

Like the first one best.

The last one and DP one are lovely. The next dress is awful.

I only like the last one

with maybe a thin, three quarter length sleeve style cardi

Aksherly
I zoomed in on last one and can see it is broderie anglais, and now I really like it.

Christ they are all fucking hideous.
The first one is criminal-like something an Aeroflot hostess would have worn in 1975.

FGS, be a bit more adventurous!

Laura Ashley have some lovely very well made for the price frocks at the moment.

the last one is the only half-decent one.

LaRedoute and DP ones both look cheap and nasty.

that first turquoise one is, as Moondog states, too 1950s air hostess.

I quite like no. 4.

The brown one's 'orrible though.

The blue flowery thing reminds me of Les Dawson, for some reason.

And yes, Aeroflot hostess for no.1.

But then, I wouldn't listen to me. I have no style sense whatsoever.

I think the only okay one is the DP one, the rest are awful - irrespective of age.

Orm I don't like the first one, sorry.

Second is nice but not sure what's going on.

Third is very very short esp if you are 5ft 11

4th I like actually tho I agree re arms (mine!).

LOL at Laura Ashley being adventurous

OK I accept the aeroflot comment. But apart from that there is almost no consensus at all! Tsk MN!

Will have to have another search... I like a straightish shape - don't want anything frilly or sticky-out.

clary - have got into the habit of wearing very short but that is in the winter with thick tights or leggings.

like the second one best, not too young, actually quite Sam cam-ish.

I am 6ft, size 12-14 and am hooked on Phase 8 dresses for weddings, they do a style which comes down to the knee, and has two layers (bottom one a play colour, in stretchy jersey, top one is more lace-lime, it clings in all the right places). I have 2 dresses from Phase Eight, and they are comfy to wear, feminine and a bit sexy (but not too ).

They are a bit $$$$, so I buy in sale (get half off) or maybe e-bay?

just so you can see if you like the style.

Oasis have loads...thisor
this

In fact just browse the lot yourself {grin] here

They are all hideous, sorry. That first one is truly, truly grim.

i love the oasis zig zag seam dress.

i don't like any from the op - the last one is ok spose.

the first one will make you look like a thunderbird airhostess/britneyspears

Thanks for the suggestions. I have to have freak clothes because of my height - normal dresses always have a waist that sits under my bust Which is one of the reasons I chose those first ones.
