Can I wear this Satin Dress to a Wedding. Husband says no. I feel stunning in it, and think it is ok to wear.

But do weddings really have an age demographic as such? They tend to be as multi generational as an event can get. Therefore regardless of the bride, OP and their friends' opinions some people are likely to think OP is dressed inappropriately. Whether she cares about that or not is up to her.

There's always one of those! Thankfully not at our wedding but at my friend's wedding and it was an elderly aunt. It was a dress where you could see about half of her bra, as the dress was scoop necked. The bra was the same colour as the dress but you could see it prominently. Initially I (and many other guests) thought it was accidental but no, when someone pointed it out to her she said airily "it's meant to be showing it off dear". My poor friend, she looked so beautiful but it's all anyone can talk about now when her wedding day is brought up...

So, to return to the thread, @MegsyLondon I'd say please don't wear this dress to the wedding. See if you can ask MIL to have the baby so you and DH can go to a really posh cocktail place and a swanky dinner and show it off but it's not wedding appropriate. I'm glad you feel nice in it though, I remember the days of feeling so unlike myself after having a baby and it is a confidence knock. X

OMG; it does too! They class it as a bridal gown...

If ever you were in any doubt OP, surely this confirms the majority of PP's opinions here and gives you your answer?

From your updates, it would suggest that you are still trying to find reasons for us to change our minds and say 'yep, go for it'. But I really don't think you should wear it!

Surely your boobs will fall out if you bend over / lean across a bar / dance?

Have I got Déjà vu or have you posted about this dress before?

No. It's not suitable for a wedding. It's a date night dress. Specifically, too white and too much flesh on show. Buy another dress and wear this for a fab night out with DH.

Speak to the bride. She maybe fine with it but I do think the skirt is too bride like. However she may not think so.

For what it’s worth, I encouraged my female guests to go for it at my wedding and wear the glam dress they never get to wear, I loved seeing them all dressed up to the nines.

Absolutely not!

OP if you’re friends with the bride could you message her and ask? Send a photo and a “was thinking of wearing this to the wedding just checking that it doesn’t clash with bridesmaids etc?” or something along those lines.

No!!!
The bride will be on here afterwards bitching about you!

Zero jealousy from me, hun. Jealous of what, exactly? She asked if it was a suitable dress to wear at a wedding. The resounding answer is "no" it certainly isn't. It's totally inappropriate and it would show a real lack of class if she does wear it. Up to her, though.

No because of the cream skirt.

No. Just NO!

Far too much flesh on show.

It's upstaging the bride.

Save it for a special occasion of your own.

If someone wore that to my wedding I'd wonder why they had chosen to wear am evening gown to a wedding as it's just an odd choice and hope they didn't feel embarrassed looking so out of place.

I wouldn't be offended by the white skirt or think that mattered but I would think they looked pretty tacky with the extreme low cut top. I'd be embarrassed on their behalf rather than annoyed about it but if they weren't embarrassed then all fine

Looks lovely - go for it! 👍🙂

But because they're not dressed in wedding clothes, it's patently obvious who is getting married and who isn't. That's why I've never understood the froth over this.

So long as it's not a white bin bag. Because, y'know, that might be upstaging the bride.

You’d be the talk of the wash house.

I love it! Tbh I would have said the aesthetic was too evening-y for daytime, but I see you've said others will be wearing the same style so I think you're fine, personally. Wear it and enjoy it!

Some people are absurdly conservative about what you can and can't wear to a wedding. As if this is ever going to be mistaken for a wedding dress just because the skirt is white! 🙄Provided you're not dressed in something that would upset the bride, you're good as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't even tell you what the women were wearing at my wedding.

Why don't you ask your mother in law for the receipt and see if you can exchange it?

No. Too revealing and too much white.

You don't dress like you're trying to upstage the bride.

Definitely not suitable for a wedding.

I think your age matters. If you'd asked me last year, I'd have said no but that's because I'm 40 and im in the world where none of my female friends would consider it appropriate.

But the last wedding I went to, the teens and 20s girls were wearing exactly this sort of thing: form fitting, plunging, high leg slits... often all at once!

So I think your age, the age demographic of the wedding, and the brides reaction are key.

If someone wore that to my wedding I'd think 'wow they look sexy good for them!'

White skirt I don't think is an issue as it's paired with black top

You obviously have a great figure to feel good in this dress. I do wonder if there is a bit of jealousy in these responses.

Maybe just wear a bin bag so everyone is happy

Ha!

OP, I’m not sure why you asked when you’re just arguing back with everyone who says no.

This dress is for a red carpet event, a gala dinner, a ball. It is not a wedding guest outfit, they are simply different things.

Im not sure why you’re so insistent on wearing it.. Yes you love it, but a brides wedding isn’t there just to give you an opportunity to wear a glamorous dress you want to be seen in. It’s about the bride.

It’s not usual to wear dresses that are so glamorous/sexy they might draw attention away from a bride on her wedding day. Nor is it usual to wear white. If you look at photos and videos from any wedding you will see that the bride stands out because she’s the only one in that colour - wherever she goes you can see her. That effect is spoiled if other people are wearing white dresses too.
