Dress for wedding guest

Hello....

Do you think this dress is appropriate for guest at a summer wedding ? The top layer is see through but had a long black slip underneath.

I'm not really a dressed up kinda person, when I picture wedding guest outfits I imagine the type of outfits you see for a posh day at the races, all fitted dresses, with matching hats, bag and shoes. That's definitely not my style.

I was planning on wearing a pair to dusty pink velvet heels and jewel coloured clutch??

Thanks

I think it's a lovely dress but you might be a bit warm.
Definitely suitable for a wedding but I'd say maybe winter rather than summer

That is a beautiful dress. I would have bought that too for a wedding I’m going to, but like pp have said, maybe too warm for a summer wedding. Please update with what you find, as your style is similar to mine!

And I’ll post if I find anything!

It's gorgeous but if it's a beautiful summers day you are going to boil and feel far too wintery. It's a great price so I'd buy it anyway but perhaps have another outfit ready in case it's a hot day.

Thanks everyone. The materials is soo thin and sheer. Totally see through except for a thin black slip underneath so I'm hoping I won't get too hot. Plus I'm also edging by bets that the British weather will be as disappointing as ever.

I have a christening to go to in April so will keep it and I can use it for that if I find something else for the wedding.

Thanks for all your opinions, I'm glad everyone thinks it's a nice dress, I was doubting myself.

@princessbear80 I'll keep you posted Smile

So I have now got a few other options

I do prefer a long sleeve so I might just have to accept it might be warm during the day.

The orange and gold dress is lovely but the back means I'll struggle to wear a bra.

The green dress I could order and the orange bold print dress I already own but have never worn.

I really like the first dress. I’m a warm person so wouldn’t choose it for summer, but it’s lovely. The light green one in your later post would be my next choice.

I'd stick with the first dress. Can't imagine the UK being too hot for it. Also love the green one. Very similar to a navy one I wore to a wedding recently.

Thanks. I think I will stick with the first one. I have planned all my accessories now too.

Love the green one too, we have another wedding to attend so I may still purchase it Smile

I think the Orange and gold dress is beautiful, by far my favourite of all of your options. The green one is very pretty too but I don't like the bold print orange dress at all.

You have lots of lovely options....I'm sure you'll look great.
