It does depend on your shape.

This would be good for me because it has a high waist so that the skirt would flow over my hips. I think it might make someone who was slim hipped but full busted look a bit too heavy.

I’d ignore “busy” comment. He probably doesn’t like flowery stuff. Generally men don’t seem to.

Seventies? Maybe but what goes around comes around. I think it’s really pretty.

Have you a daughter, female friend or neighbour who could see you in the dress and say whether it suits you or not? If you keep the dress, how much will it bother you that OH’s not keen on it?
I quite like the dress, though it wouldn’t suit me!

It’s very pretty. If you are pleased with it, that’s surely all that matters. And I certainly don’t think it’s old fashioned - there are masses of longer, patterned summer dresses around at the moment.

I think it's really lovely . I do think you need to be medium to tall. However, all that matters is that you love it

The dress is lovely but as to whether it suits you, who knows!

Does it suit your size, shape, height?

I've bought a dress online and it arrived this morning. When i tried it on I thought it looked really nice (I'm size 18 and don't have much confidence in clothes shopping). When I asked OH for his opinion he looked, said "Hmmm, its OK. It's a bit 'busy' though and it looks old fashioned, like something from the 70s".
'Busy' is his favourite word for something with a lot of pattern.
Now I don't know whether or not to keep the dress. I liked it but now it seems spoiled.
I think (hope!) I've attached a pic of the dress and am keen to get your opinions.
