m.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/aqua-jacquard-fit-and-flare-dress-100-exclusive?ID=2663756&CategoryID=1005206Is this dress too young? I'm in my 40s. I need a dress for my dd's dinner/dance bat mitzvah party. I also need it for the sanctuary beforehand so I bought a black beaded wrap and a cashmere shrug/bolero so I have to choose which to wear. I tried on a more conservative dress with jacket and Dh said it was too much like a suit and I should wear more party. He said less all black (I guess with black jacket over white and black dress it was very black). But I'm worried this choice is too young / short. I really want to look classy. The party will have a fun vibe because dd is 12. Her 'theme' is shapes and patterns with bright colours. Her dress is a tight black bodice, one shoulder with flower detail, cream tulle skirt with sparkly gold fleck. I have a picture of me in this dress but have to figure out how to post it. Is this age appropriate?

If you like it and feel good in it, wear it.

Wear what ever makes you feel good. If you like it -wear it.

I'm 51 and I would wear it. I don't know about the appropriateness for the event at all as I've never been to a bat mitzvah, but I like the dress.

There’s a post from admin pinned to the top of the forum. Photobucket rules changed and their free accounts don’t host pictures for other sites anymore.

Can you not just add the pic from your computer, or phone, as an attachment?

Thanks. I feel good in this but have wondered if I feel good because it makes me feel younger. Ha! I felt classic in the conservative dress I found (it was super fitted, one shoulder but plain fabric - white bodice, black pencil bottom, one shoulder with bow on shoulder - with black jacket over it looked like a suit). I don't think I feel as classic in this dress. But I feel way more fun in it.

I would wear it, I just turned 44. I am to the point I wear what I want outside of crop tops and really short shorts. We are still young (ish)

Well - the photos are sideways and tiny. Hard to really see the beaded wrap.

It's perfect, and you look adorable. I like the little sweater and the shoes in that photo better than the wrap and shoes in the other photo.

It's really cute. As long as your boobs will go where they're supposed to and stay there, go for it!

Ok! Thx everyone . And now I'm embarrassed I posted about photobucket when there is a permanent thread at the top of page 1. I haven't bought shoes. The party is in January. I'm looking for a dress now because I don't want a holiday dress and I think that's what is in stores soon. The wrap versus sweater might depend on the weather that day. I'm always cold. I thought I should have a snap out in the wrap so it doesn't fall down. |

I like your choice a lot but it seems that the wrap hides most of the dress. I an 40 and would wear that dress but I never end up wearing any wrap I bring. I was reading your description of the party and your other dress and I just bought a one shoulder dress that might fit the bill. www.pinupgirlclothing.com/pinup-couture-vivien-dress-in-pink-hawaiian-hibiscus-print.htmlPersonally as long as you like it, it should be age appropriate. I would posit that if something seems age inappropriate, it's probably not appropriate on anyone. We just let young people get away with a lot fashion wise ;-) |

You look absolutely beautiful! I like the first one best, but the one with the wrap is beautiful too. Go with the one that is most appropriate for the setting. Personally, I would prefer to have my arms free for greeting people, carryinhg things, etc. Can you do everything and not have to worry about the wrap falling off? Maybe wear the wrap for the ceremony and the shrug at the party since they are both very pretty?

Can't decide. I swear I don't work for this company, I just have this bra and don't know how to describe it other than backless and strapless. I used to hate these bras because they squeeze my fat into a little belly roll, however the the style of dress you've selected, any fat is hidden by the skirt. Anyhow at least on me it helps define my waist and doesn't show under most garments unless there's a huge plunge. I have an old one by wonder bra but I can't seem to find it online anymore to show links of other vendors. www.pinupgirlclothing.com/dayleen-longline-bra-black.html |
