Sorry for Daily Fail link but I think it’s really stylish and different.

I don’t like the little cape thing but I quite like the dress.

The top bit spoils it for me but I like the skirt part

God no the brides dress looks like one of those 60's 70's lace table over clothes and looks like the MIL cut an arm hole in the under cloth.

I think I might like it better without the cape thing. In some pictures it looks elegant, in others it looks thick and heavy

I love it and I feel I should book Mark the mother of the groom for 25 years time!

I honestly just see this 70's crochet table cloth ... my nana had one which she layered with a plain brown cloth (Mother of the Groom dress)

Apart from the ‘fanning’ on the bandeau and wanting the lining to match the length of the skirt, I think it’s absolutely beautiful. One of the best wedding gowns I’ve seen in years.

Classic but modern - a very very tricky balance to establish with a wedding gown.

Actually, I see the lining does reach the hem so I stand corrected on that.

The only elements of the styling that I would tweak are her ratings (pearl and diamond studs or very small hoops would have worked better with the busy dress) and her shoes - a lower cut on the foot, very pointed court in satin would have been more delicate).

Love it. Cool, different and very old fashioned. What’s not to love.

I love it because it’s so different to any other gown I’ve seen recently.

Love the fabric, the cut and the overall look. Not a dress for everyone perhaps but very fitting to their wedding.

Gorgeous!

The neckline of the cape doesn't quite work on her - it needs to be a bit more scooped I think. Front on is the least flattering angle but from every other angle it looks absolutely stunning
