Hi
Getting married next Easter, elopement style wedding with daughter (28) and her partner as witnesses.
I have been sending pictures of dresses to daughter for her opinion and this came up on my feed. Sent to daughter as I thought it was perfect for me in terms of style, arms covered etc etc.
She hates it!!
For info 57 (age) size 10/12.
Am I loosing my style mojo?

I'm not keen on the off the shoulder neckline and the giant sleeve rosettes, tbh, but it's your taste you need to cater to and your wedding!

User12435687 · 21/03/2025 11:38

Don't like the arm flower things but if you like it, go for it! Love the colour.

Seacatt · 21/03/2025 11:39

I don't like the sleeves/rosettes either. Too fussy.

MidnightMillie · 21/03/2025 11:39

Oh dear no, it's very 1970s.

You're around the same age as me so you'll remember Yootha Joice in 'George and Mildred'?

This is who immediately sprang to mind.

But as always, if you like it then go for it.

beetr00 · 21/03/2025 11:41

@Smokedsausagesupper no!!! to the rosettes 🙈 shape is fine 🙂

Overtheatlantic · 21/03/2025 11:42

Oh dear. I’m your age and I like it a lot! Are we about to get run out of town?

Annascaul · 21/03/2025 11:42

Not really, no.

Simrin · 21/03/2025 11:42

I'm in my 50s and not keen on the sleeve rosettes.

Also scuba fabric always seems a bit weird to me.

Nice colour and length and silhouette, though.

saveforthat · 21/03/2025 11:52

Against everyone else. I like the dress but not the colour. It just proves the old saying op, you can't please everyone so you have to please yourself.

AngelsWithSilverWings · 21/03/2025 11:57

It's a no from me. I'm mid 50s. It looks uncomfortable to wear and the sleeve detail would drive me mad I think.

Regretsmorethanafew · 21/03/2025 11:58

Hideous. Sorry

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 21/03/2025 11:58

No, it's truly awful. Awful colour, awful shape, daft arms.

TheChosenTwo · 21/03/2025 12:00

I quite like the shape of the dress but I really dislike everything about the sleeves (those rosettes 🥴) and I don’t like that weird stretchy scuba material at all.
sorry op!
If you love it then it’s the one for you, your wedding is about you and your dh to be, nothing else is anyone else’s business.

Same! I really like it, then read the comments😂

Coffeeishot · 21/03/2025 12:04

If my Dds didn't like it I'd probably take their advice, we are always honest when it comes to clothes.

Fwiw I don't like it the colour mainly but the rosettes are bulky.

But it would deeply weird if everyone liked the same clothes just because they were born within a few years of one another. I had lunch with two friends yesterday -- we're all mid-50s. One of us was wearing wide-legged trousers, a shirt and a wool coat, one of us a Max Mara dress and trench, the other barrel-legged jeans, a floral top and an Ilse Didrikson jacket.

TwoRobins · 21/03/2025 12:18

Sorry, OP but I don't like it. I think the slightly witchy-style sleeves make it look like a fancy dress outfit.

But it really is what you think that counts!!

varden · 21/03/2025 12:21

I absolutely LOVE the colour.

Well you did ask us, so I'd have to agree with others, it's just not "right" or something.

Back to browsing OP, and congrats on the wedding, hope it all goes great for you.

I thought it was okay, but you really don't want style advice from me 😂

First thought was no, not for a bride... I'm thinking white and lace but... Yeah, it's an odd dress, where would someone wear it?

If you have the figure though, then your life is much easier!

Ooh no OP 🤣 lovely colour, weird arm flowers!

Oh no don't 😀 have you seen anything else ?

JanglingJack · 21/03/2025 12:25

They say blue, I see mint green 😭

Coffeeishot · 21/03/2025 12:28

I see mint green ! It definitely isn't blue 😕
