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

😅😂 I can actually imagine the Mumsnet response to Tana Ramsay (gold lace dress) and Victoria Beckham if they'd been daft enough to post here!

To Tana: Why are you dressing as a bride? Do you want everyone to hate you? You're making the wedding all about you!

To Victoria: You're the mother of the groom, show some respect. How do you think your son's going to feel about his mum showing up for his big day in her underwear?!

Both would be shown more suitable high-necked polyester outfits in desaturated pastels or navy, with obligatory floral prints and 'figure-skimming' straight skirts that remove any sense of a female body while flattering your slim waist.

I bet they're sorry they looked so stunning beautiful memorable ridiculous!

No. It's not wedding attire.

I was about to suggest that you get your DH to arrange to take you out somewhere suitable for a special occasion where you can wear that dress and he can dress up to your level at the same time. Leave it till later in the year when you are feeling more confident about leaving your little one behind for the evening.

If you feel good in it and want to wear it, then wear it. You can put a pretty shawl/pashmina on etc. I would not feel upset if anyone wore this to my wedding.

Or say to your husband if he doesn’t want you wearing it to the wedding then he has to take you out somewhere special so you can wear it and buy you another dress for the wedding!

It’s not suitable for a wedding. It’s an evening dress.

They mostly look ridiculous.

I don't think you can compare a 'celebrity' wedding populated by tall very slim people with a size 14 recently post partum woman squeezing herself into a size 8 black and white satin and lace dress. If OP is wanting to look glamorous like her friend, it would be better achieved by a dress in the right size, whatever style it might be.
(Sizes from one of the many other posts she has made about this dress).

I would suggest those dresses are somewhat classier. And the dress in question is, apparently, marketed as a wedding dress.

Pictorial evidence: Guests at recent celebrity weddings.

Completely agree with your husband and the vast majority of posters here.

The deep low plunge, low back, solid white skirt giving bridal vibes. It is a showstopping dress, but it isn't right for wedding guest attire!

Wowsers! No way!

Too ‘me me me’ and exposing for a wedding but would be proper gorgeous for a date.

Yes ☺️

Are you always this dramatic?

No, you can't wear that to a wedding

Well then we obviously disagree. Either way, I wasn’t calling all men incompetent, because that’s neither my belief, nor my experience.

Why?! They’d surely be able to say “it looks a bit bridal” or “it shows too much flesh” or “it’s maybe more formal than the event”?! These are reasonable things I can imagine loads of men with eyes and a brain being able to say. It doesn’t require a degree in fashion or a keen interest in wedding guest etiquette.

It’s a very ‘ look at me ‘ dress and whilst I’m sure it is beautiful on you it is so unbelievably unsuitable for a wedding. I can’t believe you even think it’s remotely appropriate.

Loads of men have eyes and a brain.

I came here to say wear whatever you want, but I can see that’s a controversial statement.
I think it depends on the Bride, you could wear it to my wedding, but probably not most people here in your comments 😂

Don't care about the white but you'll catch your death at a February wedding

I don't actually see the problem with this dress for a non church wedding. It's not really vibing wedding dress is it? If you know that many of the guests will be glam in satin type dresses and lots of skin rather than silk crepe with a matching jacket and hat then go ahead.

I also agree with everyone who has said it looks oddly-proportioned and cheaper than it is.

God no!

I work in the wedding industry and think YES wear the glam dress to the glam wedding. You're not in a country church. You will look stunning! Mnetters are always weird about wedding attire etiquette IMHO, forgetting that the industry has changed soo much and the old rules simply don't apply to a lot of today's weddings.
