Nay for me. No offense, but the dress looks matronly to me. I picture a very old woman with white hair wearing that dress with orthotic black pumps. 


LOL!!!  Hard to get that image out of my head, but you make a good point.

When I saw the dress hanging on the rack, I did not like it.  I never thought of it as matronly. The store manager at Laura Ashley convinced me to try it on.  I did, and I fell in love with it.  Incidentally, you must have thought Lady Di was old, matronly looking because this dress was copied from one of hers.

I'd have to say nay, but that's just for me. Shirtdresses are not very friendly to this extremely busty lady, no matter what the material.
