This dress looks fabulous on you and you definitely should wear it. I don't know when the style rules changed to say that anyone over the age of forty shouldn't wear an attractive dress, but I deplore it. And I'm in favour of fighting against it! Where I live, all older women seem to have a uniform of trousers and often shapeless tops. It's one reason why I started sewing again; for a bit of choice. Definitely wear this dress. I agree fully with Sarah Liz, and it suits your style perfectly. Thanks for the info about the lining btw. Trish S

Oh my goodness, she would LOVE to know she is more classic in the french way as she loves all things french! She even took french in college because she wanted to learn the language! Thank you ever so much Sarah Liz! :)

I can see that this is not Melissa's style - she is more classic in the french way, and you are more classic in the feminine way. Nowadays this word (feminine) has dropped from the lexicon, because that is not the way we are meant to be anymore! It used to exist as a style category.

So anyway, back on topic - you - the dress is lovely, and there is nothing wrong with the look inside at all - wear it and enjoy it!

Agree with your point here, and after I wore it to the play and the entire day I photographed these photos.... it wasn't until the next day I began to think I might feel comfortable wearing it more. And now these lovely compliments are giving me more confidence! Thank You! :)

What is wrong with you, girlie?! You bring up so many negatives about this dress . . . and you look fabulous in it! You may have had to make a few tweaks to it that you wouldn't normally do, but the end product is great. It's a very classic style (to my mind) and is in no way "too young" for you.

If you had worn Melissa's outfit out in public, we may have had to have a little talk with you. On her, at her age, it's perfect and she looks lovely. In a few years, she may be asking to borrow your beautiful Toile de Jouy dress! :o}

It is totally a keeper! I like this style on you very much. It's a classic look, but just a little bit flirty.

Beautiful dress and you look fantastic in it. Sometimes, you don't feel the garment (if that makes sense) but after a couple of wears it will grown on you, and I hope this is the case. It really does look good on you.

Thank you Beverly! :)

You should totally wear this dress! I think the silhouette looks great on you, and I don't think you need to have a certain age to wear it! If I had seen the fabric in a store, I would have bet that you'd like it, it is absolutely you!
I think Melissa just is a different color type, so maybe white, which is a great choice for xou, just isn't for her. I think anything red would look great on her! I'm excited to see what dress it is going to be for her in the end! And btw I think it is great, that you are not disappointed or anything, you're right with not guilting her into the dresd And it does look beautiful on you, I even like the looser fit!
