Should I take notice of a friends remark about my dress

Yes. Shake it off. Sounds like she was jealous.

Just ignore her remark, two people, both her husband and yours said it was a good look. Maybe it was a bit of the green eyed monster.

Jealous - she didn't like her husband complimenting you. She is obviously insecure - wear your dress and ignore her

It really does sound like a touch of jealousy. Ignore it.

It sounds as though you looked stunning in it, your friend didn't like her husband thinking so too! Wear it, and other dresses with confidence. At a size 10 you will look amazing!

yes. ignore. she was annoyed that her husband admired it.
give her a wide berth. no time for negativity.
its her problem; don't let it become yours.
wear what you like.
if she or others say it again, be ready with your answer; why thank you, i thought it was brave too !

Agree with everyone. She didn't like you looking so good. Just below knee is not short.

Short , below the knee??? Ridiculous . Take no notice and be proud to be size 10 !!

Sounds to me as though you looked lovely and your friend is jealous. On top of that, her own husband paid you a compliment. Smile secretly and ignore her remark.

What a 'friend?' Size 10 and slim legs. A shame you have not worn dresses before! Thank goodness you have decided to wear them now. Enjoy being trim! [smile[.

Carry on wearing your dresses. I think your friend was a bit envious of your confidence in wearing it.
I don't like my legs either. When I wear a shorter length dress, I wear light weight leggings under it.

Please don’t let an unpleasant person rain on your parade, it doesn’t matter what others think ( who’s opinion would /could you settle on) it sounds like your ‘friend’ has a touch of the Green eyed monster
Wear what you like , best wishes and be happy.

My legs are full of veins but a few years ago my dil and daughter talked me into wearing more dresses. I wear them below my knees and I am so pleased with how they look.

Your friend is jealous probably because you look lovely with your slim figure. Buy a few more outfits like it and enjoy watching your friend squirm!

Take no notice at all. Wear your dress.

Obvious to me the problem was her husband remarked on your dress. She didn’t like it, hence trying to put you down, she’s no friend, real friends do not behave like that, reeks of jealousy Op, you wear your lovely dress with your head held high, also a dress that ends beyond the knees isn’t short, she needs to go to specsavers, and to be a size 10 is great

I love Boden dresses and also can't wear midi length not a size 10 though.
Your friend sounds jealous I am sure you looked lovely
I cheat with my legs a few doses of st Tropez gradual tan covers a multitude of sins

As I read it I'd say your friend was envious, because she's the one that wouldn't be "brave" enough to wear that dress.
You obviously can wear it with style, so carry on and enjoy your new look ?

It could have been SHE would feel self conscious if SHE was wearing it
It may not have been about YOU at all

I'm sorry it has upset you though I have a skin condition and wear clothes to cover but sometimes I throw caution to the wind and wear whatever I want but I understand how awful it is when you are self conscious and someone comments

Sounds like the length was entirely appropriate so ignore ignore ignore!! Wear dresses more & more. Stuff what anyone else says, you go girl!

Thank you all for the encouraging remarks. I really didn't think she was jealous or envious - she is slim and stylish. She does believe in stating her opinion though and will always say if she thinks something looks nice, that's what made me doubt I guess. I will continue to wear the dress and others and give St Tropez a try.

I agree with everyone else. She's jealous. Wear your dresses with pride.

How ungracious of your friend.

Though could it be that she’s aware how self conscious you are? Tbh, just enjoy wearing the dress, sounds like you enjoyed it and felt comfortable ?

Jealousy

Ive long given up caring what I look like! I dont go out of my way to please anyone nowadays and it takes a lot to knock my confidence.

I would probably have asked "What do you mean by that" and watched her squirm.
