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

You will have to put something over your shoulders to arrive and are going to look like the bride with a coat/shrug/cape over a wedding dress. If it were in a very warm country in summer maybe it wouldn't be such an issue but you can't arrive at a wedding just like that, even if you have a private driver.

The dress isn’t suitable tor a wedding. I have been to all sorts of weddings over the years and never once, no matter how glamorous the wedding have I ever seen anyone in a backless dress. The white skirt wouldn’t bother me though I am never a fan of a black/white colour combination in a dress.

I’m baffled why your MIL bought the dress for you in a size too small and in a style that’s not easy to wear. You say it’s too tight but yet are going to wear it. But you want to wear the dress, so wear it, you’re not really bothered by posters saying it’s not suitable.

Mine gave me a nice book about gardening. I'd have been gobsmacked to open a wedding dress 😂

If you think its the sort of dress alot of guests will be wearing maybe ask the MoH her opinion. She's closest to the bride so hopefully will have a good idea of what she'd care about or not. :)

If you do go ahead and wear that, you will likely have red wine spilled on you.

What a weird gift from your MIL.

No. As pp have said too exposing for a wedding & long white skirt is not good for a wedding either.

That's not suitable for a wedding. If your breasts are any bigger than the model it will be way too much exposure for a wedding. Even without it being revealing I'd say it's too much for a guest, too much white and the shape/length of the skirt is more bridal party than guest. Get your DH to arrange an evening out for you to wear it.

It looks a bit cheap & vulgar: trying too hard. The bodice looks a bit like the underwear you see in the window of Anne Summers.

If you want bias cut, elegant satin, look at Ghost.

It's a beautiful dress but too much white . Don't wear it.

It's horrible and looks like a nightie 😂

No it’s white and revealing. The day is about the bride!

I want to say yes but would check with a mutual friend - or even the bride herself if you are friends. Someone who actually knows what the bride would think rather than an opinionated random like me

Its February so you'll need a layer over the top (non-white jacket or woolly jumper) which will resolve the too much skin on show issue

Afraid not OP - it is a beautiful dress and brilliant that you feel brilliant in it, but not appropriate for a wedding - too much on show, too much white (and to be honest black is somewhat frowned upon too for wedding guests). Even if the dress code is evening wear (most UK weddings the dress code is traditionally day wear - albeit fully appreciate that’s entirely the bride and groom’s choice!) I still think the amount of white and the sexiness of it mean it would be a bit too attention grabbing. Whatever style of wedding / dress code, I don’t think it’s polite to wear something that could potentially upstage the bride somehow even if entirely unintentional.

I can't believe this thread is still here and still going

Yes, that would look stunning!

@MegsyLondon not rtft but have seen your posts.

If the white skirt is causing the issue with DH, could you dye / paint it to give it more colour? You could do it easily with fabric paints (even food colouring!) to make a kind of watercolour ombré effect, and then add a throw in one of the colours if you wanted to cover up on top for any part of the event.

I’d practice on a tea towel first and then go for it, assuming your MIL won’t mind?

You know it isn't suitable for a wedding so don't try and justify it.

My arse would look like a lunar eclipse in that (very white, very fitted) dress. I think it would only work on a gamine teenager, and even then, absolutely not at a wedding.

I did see a guest wear a similar dress to a wedding once. She was a friend of the groom, we all knew she hated the bride and she successfully (and vindictively) fucked up all the photos - formal and otherwise - as “Bride 2” while grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Unless you’re also that much of a mean girl, don’t do it.

My thoughts exactly . The wording of the post is odd like maybe Ai.

A man turned up at my friend's wedding wearing light washed loose jeans and believe me, there were looks and mutters! 😂

So the bride is your best friend, she's very glamorous in general and she's the only person whose opinion actually matters, so wild idea, ask her! If she really is your best friend, she'll be comfortable enough to be honest in her response, problem solved!

Indeed, I thought it was a quite poorly disguised bit of advertising, but it's managed to stretch to five pages!

I don't think it should be worn to the wedding.
Fashion is subjective and whilst I really dislike it I get that it make you feel great so that's good too. I would get your husband to take you somewhere so that you can wear it.

I wonder how many extra clicks that website had had since this thread was started. Great marketing trick.
