I wouldn't have minded a guest wearing this to my wedding, even if it's a bit 'out there' (as long as hot pink isn't the bridesmaid colour). I'd rather that than someone wear casual or normal clothing.

You could always disguise the back with a jacket for the ceremony.

It's beautiful op wear the dress! Don't listen to people here who think you shouldn't make an effort at other people's wedding that's just ridiculous.

I think it's beautiful and the other posters who disagree are just old jealous prudes 😆 I have seen gypsy weddings where the guests are wearing next to nothing ffs. Go for it OP!

We don't wear 'next to nothing' but we do dress to impress! I loved everyone's dresses at my wedding. Why wouldn't you want guests to make an effort?

I honestly can't see one thing wrong with this dress?
People get crazy on this site over wedding guest outfits, I think it's lovely and in no way is it's 'a look at me dress'!

It's usually even more entertaining when posters start showing you suggestions instead of the one you've asked about, like this... (totally opposite to what you've shown).

OP - it's lovely, it's fine for a wedding and don't bother asking MN about outfits for weddings because most MNers are really weird about then

Thanks 😂😂😂

I tend to agree

Family wedding next year.. seen this dress online that I love....

Would I be unreasonable to think this is ok for a wedding guest? Or is it too bridesmaidy?

It's a lovely dress, but perhaps a bit too "look at me" for a guest? What with the eleborate shoulders and back.

SuckPoppet · 19/08/2024 09:58

I wouldn’t choose a dress with that back as a guest or a bridesmaid.

Except for the evening do maybe.

I wonder if some posters didn’t click through?

I think it's fine to wear. The only reason it might be a problem is if it's a similar colour to the bridesmaids as the colour is so distinctive. I don't think it's too showy though. Maybe a shawl or jacket for the church (if there is a church service)

Can't believe the comments on here, it's obviously criminal on MN to show your back 🤣🤣

It's MN
You can't show skin or you're the wicked temptress 🤣
Especially when it comes to weddings

Menstum · 19/08/2024 09:57

Way too much for a guest.

Unless the wedding is in a swimming pool or on a beach, I think this would look odd, even for bridesmaids. But then I'd have pervy uncle Derek to contend with so...

Yes, might just do for a beach wedding.

I wasn’t aware that women’s upper backs and shoulders were considered so dangerously alluring as to be attention-seeking if shown. I think it’s a great dress, nice length, and unless the bridesmaids are also wearing hot pink can’t think how you’d be confused with one at all.

It’s the whole back and part of the midriff. Too much for a wedding.

I dont get this either- I've seen all sorts of cleavage or leg showing dresses at weddings. I hardly think showing your back a bit is "attention seeking".

The only caveat I'd agree with is- what colour are the bridesmaid dresses?- if they're pink then no dont wear it, if they arent it's fine- it's a gorgeous dress and it's perfectly ok to look good at a wedding. You dont have to dress in sack cloth and ashes for the sake of the bride. People will be looking at her anyway, not staring at your back fgs!

operationmincepie · 19/08/2024 09:50

Oh, what a shame. Front, I thought was fine but bold. But when I saw the back, I just thought bridesmaid.

ThinWomansBrain · 19/08/2024 09:50

Maybe a shawl or loose wrap over it in the day, but show off its full glory in the evening?

Powderblue1 · 19/08/2024 09:49

I think k it's lovely and it's fine because of the slightly shorter length

Wahine24 · 19/08/2024 09:49

@Shiningstarr nope its very "look at me" I was being vaguely polite before hoping you would read between the lines.

Dotto · 19/08/2024 09:49

Front, fine, back, too much.

Way too attention seeking.

Thanks that's what I was thinking too... just wanted to see 😂
