Not so much an aibu , have just purchased this dress to wear to friend wedding (day guest) and my sister saw it and said theres no way I can wear it, you shouldn't wear black...
A solid black dress fair enough but surely as its floral it ok??
Opinions pls Grin

pic?

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 23/07/2018 18:40

I can’t see a picture, but I wouldn’t wear black to a wedding unless the coloured pattern over the top was really big

wellBeehivedWoman · 23/07/2018 18:40

I think black is totally fine for a wedding, it's just an old superstition to object to it!

Popsicle434544 · 23/07/2018 18:41

Haha that would help wouldnt it

Just have colourful shoes and bag, well not really colourful just not black.

Belindabauer · 23/07/2018 18:45

It's fine.

WhataLovelyPear · 23/07/2018 18:46

I think it looks really weddingy (if that's a word) probably because of the flowers. I'd accessorise with baby pink and/or white to be on the safe side, but that's just me.

EnglishRose13 · 23/07/2018 18:48

I absolutely love it.

WinkysTeatowel · 23/07/2018 18:48

I think it's fine. Ignore her

Oraiste · 23/07/2018 18:49

It's a lovely dress. Fine for a wedding.

Birdshitbridgegotme · 23/07/2018 18:51

It's lovely

familywoes9 · 23/07/2018 18:51

I said before the pic it was fine but now I've seen it....................................

It's bloody fabulous!!!

TheWernethWife · 23/07/2018 18:52

Gorgeous dress, totally fine for a wedding guest.

MrsPear · 23/07/2018 18:53

It’s a lovely dress - to make it more wedding I would go for really colourful accessories. Maybe the bright pink colour?

SleepWarrior · 23/07/2018 18:53

The dress is really nice and OK for a wedding I think - enough floral to offset the black.

I'm confused by the picture though - do you have coathangers that look like necks??!

thefirstmrsrochester · 23/07/2018 18:54

It’s beautiful, if you were going dressed like Queen Victoria in full mourning gear then maybe I’d see your sisters point, it’s absolutely fine to wear to a wedding.

xJessica · 23/07/2018 18:54

It's gorgeous, i love it! It's very weddingy. You could wear a coloured pashmina and shoes and a bag in the same colour x

laramara · 23/07/2018 18:55

What a smart dress… your sister has no taste!
