Thoughts on this dress?

anne

I am wearing this dress today not because I like it particularly but because it was easy and I wanted a low profile dress today for my daughter's assembly (going there straight from work)
Pros
It doesn't need ironing
It is in great condition even after 4 years

Cons
It has 3/4 sleeves (I like the look of this but NOT the feel under another item
Neckline is low
I have to wear a cami underneath and that is bust flattening
It is dark looking outfit
The fabric, which is that mesh type used in the sweat pea tops that were so popular in the forum 5 years ago, may be a bit dated

Thoughts?

I really like #1, but am not so sure about #2. Have you ever considered Second Base for demi-camis?

I love that dress, Anne. I'm not wearing my Sweet Pea as much but can't give them up. At least here the look was never main stream enough to look dated now.
I wear a cami or tank under everything almost daily and don't find them bust flattening. Is it tight?

Thanks Thistle
I did take the cardi off at some points in the day.
I don't think we have second base here I Australia but I think it would still be bust flattening

Joy we wrote at the same time. The cami was tight but I think it has to be to get the coverage. This cami wasn't a good choice anyway because it was mildly v neck but I couldn't find a scoop neck

Hmmm. I don't think a cami should be bust flattening if you are wearing a good bra, Anne. Maybe it has too much spandex or is too tight. If so, what about a tank top instead?

The dress is pretty and feminine on you.

My cami/tank top collection clearly needs some work on it!!

Leaving aside the cami issue, I forgot to mention another pro - I have slept in this many times when too tired to undress!
and Con - the waistline is an empire line on me owing to my long torso ( my waist is a few inches below the bottom of it) And sometimes I feel that makes me look bigger than I am.
