Is this an awful wedding guest dress?!

Looking for opinions! I'm a mum of 2 little children and rarely go to events anymore, both children under 4, size 14-16, 5.3 and wanted something that hid my legs and tops of arms and skimmed over tummy so that I felt slightly more comfortable. I've always had reasonable success with Monsoon dresses and found this in the sale. I've been told by brides friends to all send photos of our outfits (unsure why!) And that I cannot wear this and will upstage her. I asked if it was anything like her dress and they said not even remotely close! I read all the reviews before purchasing and most have worn this dress as a wedding guest! Is it my poor taste?!

Too bridal/bridesmaidy.

I don't think it would upstage the bride.
I don't like it though, it's quite frumpy and I think you could do better.
You absolutely do not have to send pics of your outfit to the bride's friends!!

It’s lovely, however I wonder if it’s like the bridesmaids dresses or the colour of them

If you didn't send a pic of your dress, would your invitation be revoked?

I don’t see what’s wrong with it, unless it looks like the bridesmaid(s) dresses

That's really pretty
