Older women dig this dress, like seriously dig this thing! I had three ladies compliment me; the first was on a bike who stopped behind me as I was peeling my banana (I thought she was going to tell me off for blocking the way). I have never been so well dressed in the eyes of the mature lady!
I'm betting it's because it's Laura Ashley! This two piece set is as flamboyant as it gets. I feel like a flamenco dancer, but my shadow appears to be that of a Victorian harlot! The skirt is very full, and unlike some tiered skirts that scrimp on fabric, these ruffles are each a separate layer of fabric. There's a lot being held up by those thin straps at the top! I would usually steer clear of items that rest on the hips but this one is corseted, it has bones and everything so it's quite flattering. The only issue is I don't have enough boobs (three would probably suffice) to hold it up properly, either that or my shoulders aren't high enough.
It's a show-stopper for my legs though, even if my torso doesn't quite agree! It;s been great swirling around and kicking my ruffles in front of me!
