    If it suits your figure then yes.

    If not then no.

    If you're very very slim yes

    Otherwise no

    If you have the figure, yes. If not, no. Nothing worse than letting things hang out that shouldn't be out, regardless of age.

    Also, you need to accessorise it properly to make it a bit more "grown up".

    Skater dresses are very forgiving, so I don't know why people are saying you need to be very slim! I have loads of skater dresses and I'm a curvy size 12. Frankly, they look great on me too :pac:.

    I think it's a lovely dress and it's not too "young" at all. Given it's winter, I'd wear something over your shoulders alright, but otherwise I think it would be lovely.

    if your body is that fit, then yes.

    It looks pretty classy. Wouldnt worry about your age it's just whether you have the figure to pull it off. You don't have to be super skinny to pull it off though!

    Its a really easy dress to pull off. Go for it.
    Just get a decent strapless bra, nothing worse than being uncomfortable in strapless dress. You'll be pulling at it all night! :)

    I agree, if you are slim wear it, otherwise no

    Yes, I'm not sure why people are telling the OP she has to be slim to wear it, skater dresses tend to very flattering. Skimming over bumps and whatnot.

    No. You should cave into prejudice (invented by yourself) and be a good little woman in her 30s and wear a tweed suit.

    Or just not go out at all. It's easier for everyone :pac:

    Well obviously you're of the right weight or God knows you would of mentioned it. First world problems really. Wear it if you don't give a fook what people think... hide in a corner and watch X-Factor if you do. Simples!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,934 ✭✭✭Dotcomdolly


    I'm almost 39 and the only question that matters is if you look good/feel good in it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,174 ✭✭✭RhubarbCrumble


    OP, I'm 33 and I'd definitely wear it :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,395 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64


    o, yes!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 918 ✭✭✭RoscommonTom


    Go for it , if your fit enough your young enough. Stick a picture up of you wearing it for us fellas, :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,624 ✭✭✭✭meeeeh


    As long as it's decent quality. I think that over thirtys should be a bit more careful about the quality of materials and finish.
