To me it looks like a clubbing outfit at best.

Evening reception only? Possibly. Possibly wouldn’t wear it to (say) a church service for example. But then I’m not young enough to wear it anyway so...!!

Crikey! Lady of the night comes to mind!!

Totally inappropriate for a wedding imo.

I actually don't know where that could be worn to without raising an eyebrow or two.

Yeah why not!

TulipsTulipsTulips · 22/10/2019 12:22

Yes you would BU

Digitalash · 22/10/2019 12:22

I wouldn't wear it because I'd look ridiculous but if you can pull it off I don't see why not.

Rightyoh · 22/10/2019 12:22

Thank god I asked!! Online shopping next!

What part of the country? What venue? What do people usually wear OP?

But my first reaction was dear God, you can't wear that.

Totally inappropriate!

@CallMeRachel

A friend got married last year. All the young women there were wearing similar style dresses. Bride was 25 so young friend base.

Why would you wear a nightie? Wink

DanceWithThePoets · 22/10/2019 12:25

Is it a Halloween themed wedding?

DanielRicciardosSmile · 22/10/2019 12:25

I wouldn't, it looks a bit like a nightie.

DonKeyshot · 22/10/2019 12:25

Do you usually wear a nightie to weddings? If so, crack on. If not, don't start now.

circlesandquares · 22/10/2019 12:25

Sorry, I don't think this a suitable dress for a wedding reception.

ThatMuppetShow · 22/10/2019 12:26

Are you popping out of the cake, or just dancing on the bar?

DanielRicciardosSmile · 22/10/2019 12:26

@DriftingLeaves snap!

Bluntness100 · 22/10/2019 12:26

Lol.

embarassednewname · 22/10/2019 12:27

Evening party, yes depending on the crowd and venue. Don’t wear that to church!!

ThatMuppetShow · 22/10/2019 12:28

I wouldn't wear it because I'd look ridiculous but if you can pull it off I don't see why not.

I tell you why not , in case you don't see. The rule of any wedding, day or night, is that you don't try to overshadow the bride - it just makes you looking like a complete twat. It 's not the time to try to pull off what you think is a sexy outfit.

There are hundreds of flattering clothes you can wear, a nightie is not appropriate.

Not black for a wedding. People will think you're in mourning because you aren't marrying the bride or groom yourself!

Rightyoh · 22/10/2019 12:29

It’s only the evening. I will be saving this one for another more appropriate occasion!

Evening reception and you've got the figure for it and you love it, go for it! This is the sort of thing that my cousins wear to weddings, they're young girls and they look great.

Only on Mumsnet do people get so het up about what is appropriate for weddings. At most weddings you get a range of ages and a range of outfits.
