k.hill Posted June 26, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Is this too young for 40 somthing, or can I get away with it? I thought maybe a little too promy/promish? Very open to honest opinions. Other pic just doesn't really show what the dress actually looks like on me, so I'm trying again. Honest opinions are very welcome - after last picture being compared to streetwalker and mambo queen - nothing can phase me now. I have attached ACTUAL picture. Let's try again - can I do this for fun/formal night...It is my 12th or so cruise and I am sooooo sick of boring black evening dresses and dresses that are just a couple steps away from maid of honor.

poochierebelbear Posted June 26, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Love that dress! Looks good. I too agree, wear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplelife Posted June 26, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2008 With the extra length from the height difference, the dress looks much better on you than on the model in the other picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowPrincess Posted June 26, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Okay, now I like it :D Not "hootchee mama" at all. If you're comfortable in it, wear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenem Posted June 26, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I like it. The fabric looks like it'll have a tendency to crease, and the sheen will then highlight every one. So, smooth it out when you sit down or beware unattractive spider webs when you stand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreytRacer Posted June 26, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Wow! You're a hottie in it! Looks great! Just make sure that you "own it" when you walk into a room and always stand up straight! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLLund Posted June 26, 2008 #9 Share Posted June 26, 2008 My first thought was .. ummmmm didn't we already do this .. then I clicked the thumbnail ... what a difference .. that is just great !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidznp Posted June 26, 2008 #10 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think that dress looks great and is very flattering on you and would be a fun option for a formal night. If it was me, I would wear some silver or neutral colored shoes rather than black. Have a GREAT time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDHALFAN Posted June 26, 2008 #13 Share Posted June 26, 2008 You look great in that dress. Wear it and have a ton of fun. Valerie:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSQ Posted June 26, 2008 #14 Share Posted June 26, 2008 sorry. While I think the color is lovely, the cut doesn't look all that flattering to me. I dunno, I just keep thinking "yeah it'll be okay as long as you don't wear any fruit on your head. On the other hand, if you are comfortable in it, and like it, what's it matter. I tend to lean towards the school of thought, if you have to ask ... you probably already know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger belle Posted June 26, 2008 #15 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I agree with those who made the positive comments...I think the dress is appropriate and looks good on you...I never saw the first pic posted, but the one you posted of yourself in the dress looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoothdancer Posted June 26, 2008 #16 Share Posted June 26, 2008 As far as your question... Is it too young for a 40 something, absolutley not. Does it flatter your figure, yes it does. Although you might see a young girl wear this to a prom, so what.... Is that not true of many formal gowns? As far as your question on the color... Nice color, not too bright and from what I can see from your skin tone, it is a good choice. The rest is very subjective. A gown style that I may love, the next person may hate. There really is no right or wrong answer, it just depends on personal taste. You are going to get a variety of responses. Myself, I like the style, it is fun, flirty and a little different. Now and then I pick something unusual but usually go for a more flowly and elegant gowns...that just my personality showing through in the gown. Still, If I wanted something fun then I would wear your choice wihtiut hesitation and I am 50! In the end you have to make the decision for yourself when you look in the mirror if it is a style you like and one you would enjoy wearing. BTW would not go with a black shoe either!

Sanibel*Gal Posted June 26, 2008 #19 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Looks Great! Wish I had a dress I LOOKED that good in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texaswinediva Posted June 26, 2008 #20 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Love the dress and the color. I think another color of heel would look better than black. You look lovely and have a very cute figure. Go for it!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandkelly Posted June 26, 2008 #21 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I still think it is to young. Maybe because I have DD's that wear them and I try to be fashionable without looking like them. The side pic makes it look like it fits but the front shot makes it look like the belly is tight. The shinyness of the fabric accentuates it.
