Is this dress too "bridal" to wear to a wedding as a guest?

Bridesmaids are in sage green. It's obviously pink but is it it still a bit too bridal?

I've got an aunt who would wear that.
Any family occasion, she never disappoints. 😁

I'm sorry I have no sense of style but I agree with the others that it's both too bridal and too negligée to wear in public!

It's very Yootha Joyce

Too bridal? No.

Too hideous? Yes.

Looks like it came from the set of a Carry on film.

It's not bridal It's just disgusting.

MrsMoastyToasty · 07/07/2024 11:15

It's too "5 year old playing dress up".

ErrolTheDragon · 07/07/2024 11:26

I think this one will be a rare unanimous 'No'.

Appropriate that this isn't on the style and beauty board as the dress possesses neither.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 07/07/2024 11:30

IMO too pink and frilly for anyone anywhere, except for a 3 year old. At that age my Gdd1 would have adored a mini version.

Sorry OP, you will only need to brandish a wand and you'll look like the Good Fairy come to bless the happy couple.

TheFormidableMrsC · 07/07/2024 11:33

Sorry OP, it's hideous and absolutely not suitable for a wedding.

Anonymouseposter · 07/07/2024 11:36

It's unsuitable. Too attention grabbing. Looks like a not very nice bridesmaid's dress.

fedupdontknowwheretoputmyself · 07/07/2024 11:36

Wear a duffle coat over the top.

allthemiddlechildrenoftheworld · 07/07/2024 11:37

Or 'it should have been meee!'

This thread is serving… and so is the dress, but unfortunately it’s not serving wedding guest appropriateness.

OP, is the bride your sister who you’ve always hated and been jealous of but you promised your mother you’d “wear something pretty”? Are you the groom’s ex?

Seriously though, choose something else and run it by us first.

CHEESEY13 · 07/07/2024 11:38

Jaysus of Nazareth! That's a nightie!!!!

Ha! Ha!ha!

godmum56 · 07/07/2024 11:42

it would be great if you were having a Quinceanera, not otherwise.

RuthW · 07/07/2024 11:43

You can not wear that to a wedding

Wheelieusefulbinlover · 07/07/2024 11:44

DonnaChang · 07/07/2024 11:02

Is the bride Barbara Cartland? If so, this will barely register.

Sorry OP, it’s not a nice dress.

Homage to Barbara Cartland was my first thought when I saw the dress. The second was an overwhelming sense of horror

Bestyearever2024 · 07/07/2024 11:44

It's a cross between a toilet roll holder and a negligee ..... I'm thinking no for a bride and no for anyone 😃

OhDearMuriel · 07/07/2024 11:45

Yes, it's totally inappropriate.

Save it for when you get married ☺️

alternatively add wings and a toaster

It's a toaster, from "Scrooged"
