Is this an okay outfit for a wedding?

[Sophie1029734]

I'm 22 and have been to 1 wedding but I was a kid. I dont know much about the dos and don'ts for wedding guest outfits.
Is this an alright outfit to wear or is it too colourful? Too short?

Are you insane? Nono no and no

It's not even funny, the original post, any of the playing along, none of it is even funny. Why do people bother?

Dont forget photos will be around for years so nothing too trendy or in ten years you'll look dated

Last picture, the pink, in a size 14. As other have said, you can get it taken in--much better than trying to let it out. Good choice.

In 3m, if that is when the wedding is, it will be the end of December.

In half these dresses if the wedding is in a church you will be so cold you might get mistaken for the star of a funeral.

Winter! Think winter!

A nice red fleece skater dress perhaps?

When you are 22 you can wear that sort of dress. If it feels good on you go for it.

If you had to ask then you know the answer already

No.

No dignity wearing that dress.

I’m sure you asked the question but already know this is totally unacceptable.
Too much flesh on display Respect at a wedding is the starting point.
If it was your wedding, would you like all eyes on the wearer of this dress.

Tone it down a little but still be tastefully fashionable. Hope you enjoy the wedding.

Personally, I would avoid these dresses. They look a little cheap (sorry!) and seem a little short. The dresses are summer dresses - drinks with friends dresses. What may help would be to search for cocktail dresses on websites like ASOS. Also, Club L do nice cocktail type outfits that you could wear to a wedding.

No

Well the dress is fine, but if you want to stand out I suggest you remove the fabric from the 'handbag' and put a budgerigar in the resulting 'cage' . Try and colour match the budgie to the dress for maximum effect. 🐦

If you want to go short what about something like one of these? Also FYI they are only £35 xx

Yes, it’s fabulous, what shoes are you planning to wear?

Depends on what type of wedding it is

Good god, I can’t believe you are even asking

No, both are definite No - are you hoping to upstage the bride!

Which one out of the two? I'm really self conscious do dont wanna look dumb. I really appreciate opinions

I reckon either would be ok, but I do like the second one more.

Apart from not wearing white, (because you'll look like the bride) and not specifically trying to wear something outrageous/distracting (which will draw attention away from the bride and towards yourself), I'd say wear what you're comfortable in, but also what you'd feel comfortable in at that particular wedding.

To determine the latter, try and figure out what sort of wedding it's going to be. If the invite is fancy and it's at a country house, they're probably going for classy, so bear this in mind when you pick your dress. If it's a garden or a beach, something less formal would be appropriate.

To be honest with you, I don't think it would be bad to turn up in any of those dresses at all (apart from the white one) but if the guests are Mumsnetters they'll all be horrified.

If you're 22 and reasonably bubbly/confident I personally wouldn't think twice if you showed up in a rainbow frilly number for my wedding. I'm not the bride though, which is why it's usually better to play it safe with wedding outfits.

No.

Other 2

These are too white OP.

I know you've only been to one wedding but surely you've seem pictures of weddings on social media, or on TV, or in a movie or can use google?

OP the general rule of thumb is not to upstage the bride. So don’t wear white or cream, and don’t wear anything that will be too eye catching. The last thing a bride wants is to spend the day being told how amazing one of the guests looks! So nothing too dramatic. You can still wear a short dress and it can be pretty, but just not too special.
