This is proving to be a popular topic on Wonderstuff today. As I wrote to another lady, I believe that age should be no limit in the fashion stakes. And, in fact, today's fashion is feminine and romantic - perfect if you're 30, 40, 50+. I would always recommend tailoring too: it has a clever way of holding you in and polishing you up. Go for a pretty dress and a slimline, tailored blazer and you'll look spot on.
