I think the Somerset Minis are too girlish, though I've only seen pics and not in person.
The long quince dresses - especially the second one - really emphasis that point that you don't want your skirt to hit at the widest part of your leg because it makes your legs look short and stumpy. That second quince dress really makes the model look terrible - imagine what it would do to a normal sided person. |
It's not nice, and what stood out to me was the layer around the hips. What did you wear last year? Just wear that. You don't have to buy new clothes for every season. |
Yeah that's one of the most unflattering cuts I've seen and the color is so bland, yikes. |
| Look at Rails for cute dresses. |
Ok. Get it everyone. But although this say mini it does to my knee and a little below. |
They are way too girlish. I have a couple of the full length somerset that I love and I tried the mini and it looked ridiculous. I’m early 40s and a size 2, but it just looked way too young. And agreed about the quince dresses. I like some quince stuff but the linked ones are mostly frump city! |
Blech. This reminds me why I never wear dresses anymore (though I want to). Those will all look terrible on most women. And can we please retire that last look already? The 1940s house dress look is just sad. Gah, I hate shopping for clothes as a middle aged woman! |
| The Somerset dress has been around so long that there are Amazon knock offs. To me, the tiers and puffy sleeves add to the “young” look. |
| I am 45 and have this dress in a different color (also knee length on me). I think it’s a fun dress and have worn it with flat Chelsea boots in a light tan suede color. |
| Please don't wear this dress! It's something my daughter would wear. |
I think it is very cute and would wear it. Although maybe not in fall. The material looks more spring/summer? |

Quince has a dress that is very similar that I have in 3 colors. I get tons of compliments when I wear them. Friends have purchased it after they saw mine. And we are all late 40s.
The dress is not for fall, tho laugh. |
