to have worn red lycra to a wedding?

[UncouthLostYouth]

From Jane Norman.

Maybe father of the bride reminisces a bit too fondly about you and your red dress.

It might have been the first time she's mentioned it to you, but I bet it's not the first time she has discussed it since the wedding.

DH's workmates partner was planning on wearing a pink leather mini skirt. She didn't in the end

Isn't red traditionally worn by the grooms mistress or some such bollocks?

Isn't red traditionally worn by the grooms mistress Oh yes, very traditional ... in Noo Jersey maybe ...

I think I got that from my Grandma, who also objected to green for reasons I can't remember and anything with birds on

Were you on intimate terms with the groom OP?

Did people see the aforementioned red lycra hanky draped over a chair while various naked limbs poked out under the top table?

Are you watching me, squoosh?

There's always someone dressed totally inappropriately at a wedding.

Oh er Mrs!

There's always one of these guys too.

He's wearing my dress on his head, damnit.

Who was orange? Someone always has a fake tan accident too.

OP getting ready for the group photo.

I'd rather wear bright scarlet to a wedding than black. And there's ALWAYS someone dressed in all-black, funeral-style. At the christening I most recently attended, one of the godmothers was in all-black, even with a black hat

Thanks for the support, phonebox (not that I deserve it).
The baby at that christening ought to watch out for spindles on her 15th birthday...

squoosh add a peephole bra and you got it.

I hope you got lucky at this wedding Uncouth, waste of perfectly good lycra otherwise.

In my twenties my mates and I used to say "Jane Norman, Tarty Clothes For Skinny Women". Personally I wouldn't wear red lycra to a wedding or anywhere else but neither would I be bitching about it five years later.

Shame on you for wearing such a dress to a wedding.

No, YANBU (or, you weren't being unreasonable). It's a bit odd that MOTB feels the need to bring it up 5 years later.

I wear black to everything. I love black old Goth.

You clearly took the limelight of the bride

I don't think it's probably the colour of the dress so much as the style and length. We went to a wedding last year and there were a couple of girls there who basically looked like prostitutes. Yes they have great figures and could pull off the outfits but not for a wedding - nightclub maybe. I think at things like a wedding it's about having a bit of class rather than just looking like an s**g

my wedding dress was like this on the top, with a full skirt -I think the label was that famous designer 'Miss Selfridge'. Wore the dress to several other weddings too.

(waves to husband of two decades plus)

I don't think it is 'tacky'. You don't have to dress like nana's curtains to go to a wedding.

ps at a recent wedding, there were lots of girls in skintight dresses and very high heels. As far as I saw, none of them were selling sexual services. They looked very good.

is it the 1940s in here?
