I'm 68 years old, 5' 6\\\" tall, 155 lbs, medium build, 38.I like to look my age, be pretty, not glamorous, and though I will get into a dress I don't like to spend a lot of time with frills and touch-ups. Keep it simple, albeit casual, but not complicated. I'm not going to a competition but to visit with my maker. When I snagged this dress, I had already purchased a different pattern and coloration that I loved. Usually they are too bright or gaudy. This was not the case. It is a lovely shade of khaki with the perfect pattern that is not garish or looks like I just walked out of a field of flowers. It is absolutely beautiful, falls and flows nicely, covers my knees and my elbows, shows no skin, is not too sheer, and hangs perfectly on my medium frame. Overall, this style is perfect for an elderly discreet woman who prefers to leave the skin exposure to the imagination of on-lookers. There is just a touch of elegance with the large flowing skirt bottom, yet it could also be worn to a birthday party or the zoo. Nice in-between options. I love it!
