I'm only going for the evening. It's in a hotel that's known as a good wedding venue locally but nothing OTT posh.

The colour and cut suit me and I'm more likely to wear it again than a "wedding guest" outfit.

Ooh that is lovely! It's an evening do so you need a lovely dress!

So classy!

FarTooHotForMe · 02/07/2023 17:49

I think it’s perfect too and as you say you could wear it again.
It would be nice at Christmas dos too.

It's glorious - and good value.

It's lovely. The colour is fabulous.

BHRK · 02/07/2023 17:57

It’s lovely, I would keep accessories minimal and wouldn’t carry a clutch bag. It’s perfect though

SatOnBeckysHill · 02/07/2023 17:57

Nice dress op!

Good to hear @Dotandtime!

enjoy wearing it 😊

AssertiveGertrude · 02/07/2023 18:13

It’s stunning and perfect for an evening part of a wedding - very elegant

Christy135 · 02/07/2023 18:42

The dress is perfect

Hidinginaonesie · 02/07/2023 18:48

I love it and am now really upset that I’ve seen it and it’s out of stock 😂

MavisMarch · 02/07/2023 18:51

1st dress is nice and elegant. The 2nd option looks like it was made for lego models. There's no shape to it and it won't flatter anybodies figure

CC4712 · 02/07/2023 18:53

I love the dress and prefer it over the jumpsuit thing. As long as you have a suitable bra that won't show straps and at the back, and underwear that won't have a VPL, the teal dress is lovely.

Tallisker · 02/07/2023 18:53

What a gorgeous dress and a gorgeous colour. I want one now!

Yes, I am a bit concerned about a bra. I have a good strapless one, but I need to try them on together, I think dress might be a bit low at the back.

Otherwise it's a stick on one, which I've never tried before...
