I would also have to agree. You need a fabric with a nicer drape--usually a little more substantial, like a mostly wool blend ponte fabric. It has enough structure to drape smoothly over any "trouble areas" and it will be very comfortable too.

I like heals but you can wear flat ones.

Tan or brown


I'm almost 50 and like op's dress. I fear it would look frumpy on me with a big chest, but still better than those quince ones. And a tan heeled bootie might be cute. Cuter than these I think.

What about these styles? https://anindigoday.com/floral-mini-dress-styled-3-ways/

Don't like the belt with the first one but the booties look good to me. Dated or are they still good?


I think the booties are fine too.

This season taller boots are in though but I don’t think you always have to be in. I think you should wear what you feel comfortable wearing.

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.

I think it is very cute and would wear it. Although maybe not in fall. The material looks more spring/summer?

Please don't wear this dress! It's something my daughter would wear.

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!


I'd wear the sweater dress, but sweaters are my thing.

I hope knee length dresses/skirts will come back, because they're much more figure flattering.
