What do you think?

Oh no ... don’t like to be too warm in my undercarriage.

As it's for Christmas I would suggest something brighter.Perhaps red with a fur trim around the hem and green thigh high boots would be appropriate?
I would save the little black dress for a funeral occasion but perhaps that's just me?

Going to bed, feeling a little bilious ?

I tuck my vests into my thermals

How wonderful Ellan, they must be lovely and warm! You can’t beat a good vest.

Is it Lucca, shame, I wanted to do some gardening.

I thought I’d stay In and tidy my vest drawer.

Well if it's raining I might do that too, it's been a while.

My vests are longer than that dress

NotAGran55 I only wear very short dresses for things like this or very long dresses, if I'm going somewhere very special. X

Does anyone else feel baffled as to why we keep being asked for fashion advice from someone the same age or younger than our own Daughters? Surely one's peers should be the go-to people as to what is or isn't current - or appropriate. Laura I definitely think we need to go straight to the Argy with those ideas .

LauraNorder, I don't wear thongs, you seem to have me confused with a lady of the night. X

Nanaandgrampy, what's inappropriate about it? Because it's not a floral midi dress? X

BlueSky, awww thanks... I'm sure your beautiful as you are. X

With your height it will be a pelmet not a dress ?! Is it appropriate for a family Christmas Day gathering?

Apparently it’s going to rain tomorrow

What do you mean Bluesky x

FH I mean wow! Wish I had long slim legs!

I’m sorry , and I’m sure you like that dress but unless you’re in your 20’s it’s totally inappropriate - opaque tights or not .

FH how will you avoid your bra straps showing? The neck looks very wide. I hate straps showing, it spoils the whole look.?

Never forget your underwear, just in case. Perhaps a nice red silk and lace thong, maybe a temporary tattoo of a butterfly on each butt cheek. You could add some red silk and lace gloves so that when you bend over there's a hint of matching garments.

They are long (I'm about 5'9) and reasonably slim (I'm a size 8-10). X

Wow FH! Wow !

Perhaps not this one

That was such a stunning dress.

Wow FH even with thick black tights your legs must be long and slim to be shown off with such a short dress, then as you said you are younger than most of us on here.

Perhaps you could put it on and take photos, with and without your jacket, then we could advise?

It's not so much about another layer - though I do get cold - as about if it would look better with or without something. X
