Wedding guest dress

[Popsicle434544]

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

Ignore her it beautiful you will love lovely

It’s fine to wear black to a wedding as long as it’s not a totally sober black from head to toe. If it’s black with colours on it or floral pattern it’s fine. If you’re worried it’s too black wear coloured shoes and hand maybe a colourful flower in your hair etc.

It’s perfect for wedding. I wore a black floral one recently to a wedding and noticed there were a few others there.
Wear the dress-you’ll look lush! x

I love it. I would wear it to a wedding

Gorgeous dress! But what is the neck/coathanger thingy? Did OP say? Couldn't see it.

I’m NOT a dress person but I’d wear that ina heartbeat - as Long as you’re not wearing a full length white or ivory gown, who cares!!!?

Honestly, it's lovely. But please explain why it looks like it's got a neck coming out of the top. It's scaring me.

My MIL wore black to our wedding nearly 18 years ago and everyone still talks about it now :D
If it's floral, there shouldn't be an issue though - if you feel good in it, then wear it and enjoy the day

Just seen your photo OP - the dress is beautiful and absolutely fine for a wedding. I'm sure you'll look amazing.

I had a black bridesmaids dress for my friend’s wedding. It was a winter wedding, and it fitted in perfectly with the venue, decor etc.

I think it's perfect. I would probably accessorise with a colour rather than black, but honestly it's lovely.

It’s fine, just pick out some colours from the skirt for accessories.

Lovely dress, definitely wear it. But please can you explain the neck hanger?

The dress is totally fine, my mum wore the same dress to a wedding but she wore it with a pink jacket to match the pink. If the dress was totally black then I'd say it wouldn't be a good idea. I wore a vintage Frank Usher bodice top and skirt to the same wedding and although the skirt was black the top was multi colour print on white,so if you're wearing black with other colours it's fine. It is a lovely dress though.

ITs a lovely dress. Definitely fine to wear to a wedding x

As a rule I would avoid black but that’s floral and you can get away with it.
My mother in law and both of her sisters wore head to toe white to my wedding! I’d have been happier if they wore a dress like yours 😉

It's lovely, just accessorize it with colour.

For those saying you don't wear black to a wedding, my wedding dress was black.

I think a bright chunky pendant of some kind would offset the black on top. It's lovely and perfectly fine for a wedding.

It’s lovely and you could co-ordinate with bright, matching shoes 👠

It’s lovely. I wouldn’t be worried in the slightest

I wore solid black to a wedding recently, wearing black to a wedding is totally fine.

That dress is not my cup of tea though, all Ted Baker stuff seems to scream 'Ted Baker' with that same floral pattern.

If you love it, wear it.

It's lovely. Steer to light accessories and as pp said, have something light on your head/top so when you sit down it doesn't look solid black.

I like that! Maybe put bright pink accessories with it!

Why is there a freaky looking neck sticking out of it?
