Posing up a storm in Instagram in the ultra short garment, Charlie looked sensational as she showed off her pins in the multicoloured frock.
The dress was black but had an illustration in the bottom corner of a lady’s face.
In the caption of the stunning snap, Charlie penned: “Bought this dress over 22 years ago, before my kid was born, and I STILL love it.
“It actually makes me feel very happy.
“Funny how a piece of clothing can do that.
“My face doesn’t look happy. But I am actually very happy.”
Fans were quick to gush over the snap, with many keen to comment on her “very slim” appearance.
“U look very slim,” said one.
“Love it! Bonus it still fits & you look amazing!! Xx,” penned a second.
“It’s lovely and how much weight have you lost wow,” swooned a third.
