I rarely wear dresses or skirts unless they are floor length, mainly because I hate wearing tights but I also have large ugly marks on my shins from an old injury and medical issues. Last summer I wore a dress for the first time in years as my DS got married. I got some opaque tights from M&S and they were a reasonable fit despite my being a size 22 but only 5ft 1in tall. Unfortunately they only came in packs of 2 so the unworn pair may never see the light of day! (I'll save them in case my DD gets married anytime soon.) I also bought shoes to match the dress and wore them for the service but they were so uncomfortable I changed out of them to drive to the reception and decided not to put them back on! I don't suppose anyone noticed and I certainly felt more relaxed in my comfy old ones. I'm afraid at my age it's all about comfort over style every time.
