City centre (not London) wedding noon today. Had planned on wearing a long, navy evening style dress, but found out late last night that the small group I’m attending with are mostly wearing short summery dresses. Should I wear a more summery day dress, or stick to the long navy one?? 😩
Thanks so much in advance for any help, DH no help at all 🙄

What will you be most comfortable in?

Mindgone · 31/07/2021 07:55

Both are comfortable, the navy one looks gorgeous, but I want to fit in. I think it will probably fit in with the other guests, but possibly not with my smaller group!

Go for a summery dress, long navy doesn’t sound very July lunchtime wedding and it’s going to rain this afternoon so your dress might get ruined if you have to move between venues.

It sounds like it will bother you to be in the navy so I’d switch. You will feel more confident if you’re comfortable and have more fun

Summery as it may well rain and the bottom of a long dress would get very wet and annoying

custardbear · 31/07/2021 08:03

Can we see photographs ?

The navy one

I much prefer the longer one, regardless of whatever anyone else is wearing.

Throughabushbackwards · 31/07/2021 08:49

Go navy. It's lovely and I think could be dressed down to be more casual if you're concerned.

JW13 · 31/07/2021 08:49

Agree with @Bagelsandbrie the navy one is gorgeous. It's irrelevant what everybody else wears. Both are completely suitable so wear the one you prefer!

dappledsunshine · 31/07/2021 08:50

I prefer the navy, the summer one looks more casual.

Dontjudgeme101 · 31/07/2021 08:51

I prefer the navy one too. Just go with the one, that you feel comfortable in.

PragmaticWench · 31/07/2021 08:51

Navy is much nicer. Can you add some summery accessories?

Mindgone · 31/07/2021 08:52

Thanks so much! I think that’s what my heart is saying too!
I love Mumsnet and am so grateful to you all for helping! 😘

Navy. At least in the photo, the other doesn’t look wedding guest outfit.

Go elegant and hold your head up high, you’ll look lovely

DoubleTweenQueen · 31/07/2021 09:02

@Mindgone The navy one! You won't 'stand out' as in like a sore thumb, but will be eye-catching because you look properly and elegantly dressed for a wedding.
Summer dress too casual?

Go with what you want to wear!

Lulu1919 · 31/07/2021 09:04

Navy is FABULOUS wear it with your head held high and enjoy all the others guest looking at your awesome style !!!

Loyaultemelie · 31/07/2021 09:05

Navy it's absolutely gorgeous and elegant!

RuthW · 31/07/2021 09:07

Neither look very weddingy. Id go with the summer one as long as your hat/fascinator and button hole go with it.

Catlover77 · 31/07/2021 09:08

Navy, definitely

custardbear · 31/07/2021 10:18

I've changed my mind the navy one is better for a wedding - enjoy 🥰

Galassia · 31/07/2021 11:28

The navy dress.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 31/07/2021 11:29

The navy one is so much more "weddingy"
