Is is casual?
It's quite expensive but I couldn't find a cheap one worth buying.
Picture one is a size 10 . picture two and three size 8 and a little tight around the ribs.

Yes that is casual and what a beautiful dress ❤️. I’d say the first photo has the better fitting dress.

Thanks Jess and greycat. I decided to buy it, though tags are still on. I got the 8, based on the shop assistant. DH and DDs like it. I plan to wear it to DDs primary graduation as well as my work party

It reminds me of a dress that one of my cousins wore to another cousin’s wedding down under. I really like it, and I’m bummed I missed the wedding.

In summary I really like it

Thanks Anna. I am a bit annoyed the next wedding I am going to is in May, so will probably be too cold for that.

Yes it is beautiful. Definitely a versatile dress, can dress up with strappy heels or down with flat sandals. Gorgeous colours on you and highlights you lovely figure. So glad you bought it.

Thanks, FI, Rachy, Suz and Bijou.

I had quite a convoluted trip to getting it because I didn't want to settle on colour. (I wanted to try it on during my lunchbreak yesterday, but the queue was too long, so planned to go after work, but DH was sick and so I needed to go to home straight away for child taxi duty. Tried to get a park in town last night (super crowded). Today went to a suburban mall and tried on the design but with a different pattern (orange/yellow) and finally went back to the city, walked for ages from my parking spot and grabbed it!)

Honesty note. I'm wearing quite an augmenting bra for these photos! And will on the night too.

Well worth the effort! Looks absolutely lovely and makes me jealous for your summer weather in the southern hemisphere. I would definitely wear this more casually as well with a denim jacket and flat sandals. Enjoy!

Gorgeous dress, Anne. You can dress up with fancy shoes or down with a denim jacket and flat sandals.

Thanks style fan, notsaf and Rachy.
Actually this dress wouldn't do in the hottest Australian weather, too heavy, fitted and lined. But good for evening.

Can’t tell about sizing, but it’s a great dress on you. Lovely style and length. Easy to add a cropped cardigan or jacket and change up accessories.

Very pretty on you. The print looks casual . You could wear or carry a jean jacket and wear sandals or espadrilles with a rattan or straw bag.

Anne, I’m glad you purchased the dress. You look amazing, but appropriate for both occasions. I am sure you will find many uses for the dress since it is classic enough to last a long time.

Looks lovely on you! I agree that this could be dressed up or down with ease - with a pink pashmina for resort wear, a burgundy blazer/ cardigan for a wedding & a light wash denim jacket for a chilly summer evening.

Thanks everyone! This post was from December and I wasn't keeping an eye on it so didn't see your responses. I can't remember if I posted a picture from one of the nights I wore it, so here's one.

Beautiful dress! Shoes can fine tune it for the occasion, dialing it up or down a little. A light cropped sweater can take care of any late evening chill while keeping it resort casual.
