Is this dress suitable as a wedding guest?

Black tie wedding in November. I want something I can potentially wear again but is also formal as it’s at a v snazzy London hotel! Thanks :) I would wear a high heel not a wedge sandal like the model!

I love the shape of that dress. A friend bought it recently and says it’s very flattering.

I’ve worn black to a wedding

I love the style of the dress but I’m not sure if it’s the material or the cut it looks bulky. I think you would get a similar dress in Coast that will be cut better from a material that hangs nicely

And as for the granny shoes

Um, it's definitely not for me. It's kind of a weirdly unflattering mix of dowdy in shape & length, but also really low cut, if that makes sense? There again, I'm one of those weirdo MNers who thinks you should never wear black or white to a wedding, so...

I think the shape of the top is lovely, but the bottom half looks odd, somehow. But I don't think they've presented it very well on the website. It might look a lot more drapey/flowing in real life.

I assume it’s going to be inside, might be a bit cold for November? Love it though. Could team with royal blue, red, deep purple accessories.

Lovely, but add some colour with accesories.

Side boob to a wedding is a bit of a no no I think.

Yes I would say to that colour and cut, but order it and try the fabric. I have a couple of coats and trousers in that fabric and LOVE it, but I am not sure I would feel smart enough in it for a black tie wedding.

Sorry, I had not seen the side view before. Now I think the cut of the dress isn’t quite right.

Looks very casual I think.

Not for me

If you’re only 5ft 4 I think it will swamp you. It says the model is 175cm which about 5ft 9 and it’s long on her with a lot of fabric in the skirt. I think by autumn there will be plenty of nicer evening dresses around to choose from, particularly if Xmas party season is anything like back to normal.

I like it. Would wear with a bright mule - bright pink or emerald green.

It's a no from me. It's going to be rather chilly for a November wedding. You will want something to cover up, and I can't think of anything that will keep you warm that would look nice with this dress.

I also think it looks rather casual. Sorry.

You could add a gorgeous red heel and lip, would be stunning!

I saw someone try that dress on in Cos, it looked stunning and far dressier than in the picture. I even loved the material. It made it stand out slightly at the bottom and looked unusual. You can add accessories.

No sorry, there's so many other dresses on the market. You're younger than me and I wouldn't wear that to a wedding. I might wear it on holiday but that's it.

I think for a November wedding you’ll be bloody freezing and should go for something that has a sleeve, and can be worn with tights tbh

Regardless of the colour I think it's awful, sorry.
I can't see how that shape would be flattering on anyone.
I think the waist is too low and the dress too long for the shape of it. It looks as though it should cut just above the knee.
That's just me though.
If you like it try it.
Personally I like coast, little mistress or ted baker for occasion dresses, it's been a while though!

No, definitely not.

Mind on a second look maybe it's just too big for her? Maybe that's why it looks like it sags round the waist

i don't like the neckline (a bit low loose fabric will need to secure that), sleeveless even more so for a november wedding. then there is the whole what is it made of problem, on top of it being black (to a non black tie event).
it's a no from me.

What the hell is happening in her sandal

Oh my god!

I love that.

I love the dress OP. Very classic.

The green one is also nice for another occasion and reasonable too.

I think it's beautiful, I'd wear it.
