Is this nice? I like it but suspect it might be one of those dresses I think will look cute on, until I realise I'm a middle aged mother and I'll only bring frump to the party :))

I'm not mad gone on the shirt top, tbh, although I like the colour and the rest of it.

I really like it and think it'll look great on you smal! I have a similar dress but blue with which I bought from Ganni before I moved to DC so years ago. I really love it and it is such a flattering shape. That style must be back in, I noticed that & Other Stories have one almost identical to mine: https://www.stories.com/en_gbp/clothing ... 45011.html

I really love the colour Smal! Try it.

I like this skirt, especially as I got it heavily discounted. I don't normally wear this length. What would you wear with it?

You have to wear shortish tops or tops tucked in, basically.

I’d go with the model’s styling too. I think it looks lovely.

It would look good with a sweatshirt or polo/funnel/roll neck too:

I was just about to say one of my black midis I often wear with a slimfit black poloneck jumper tucked in. Or I have some shorter jumpers that can go in a french tuck.

I’m thinking this might need to be my Christmas Day dress.

Thanks guys. I went and bought it today. I had the children in tow so it was a quick in out but a quick glance told me there were lots of other nice dresses so I’ll need to go back solo.

Marks has 30 per cent off some clothes and it's satin nightwear. Got some lovely pajamas

Which ones did you get, Marth? I was extremely allured to one of their sets, but they don't sell them as separates, and seeing as I'm completely different sizes on top and bottom that's no good for me.

I bought some from Etam instead.

I wanted the butterfly ones! They're gorgeous. You will look very posh and sophisticated. In your jammies. :))

I tried these on and they're very comfortable. I thought that they might look nice with bright tights - but then I saw someone had bought them for her elderly mother. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
