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

It is lovely.

Colour is dark teal, from Per Una range.

kaytee87 · 23/07/2018 19:05

It's fine, the black thing is so you don't look like you're in mourning at someone's wedding but you wouldn't wear that dress to a funeral would you!?
Bright pink or green accessories would look fab with it.

RideOn · 23/07/2018 19:26

It's lovely and fine for a wedding.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 23/07/2018 19:26

It's lovely!

Wear it with pride! You'll look fabulous. (Any chance that there might be a hint of sibling jealousy involved . . . .?)

Mummyoflittledragon · 23/07/2018 19:29

That’s a beautiful dress. Just great for a wedding.

RockYourSocksOff · 23/07/2018 19:33

Love it and agree, brighten the accessories and you’re good to go.

MrsSarahSiddons · 23/07/2018 19:34

Dress is fine, accessorise with something pale pink eg hair flower or fascinator.
neckline on the hanger is like something from the House of Faces in GoT, how did you do that?

Dress is gorgeous.

I only own black so always wear it to the few weddings I’ve been to Grin

Find a lovely pink, green and white silk scarf so that it's not black against your face, just so that you still look colourful when you're sitting down at the dinner table. I love that dress, it's so pretty.

SongforSal · 23/07/2018 20:42

Pink shoes and a green clutch with a cream simple necklace :)

BlueJava · 23/07/2018 20:43

It's lovely - and fine for a wedding.
