Could I wear this dress

I am panicking slightly as I have a wedding this weekend, nothing to wear and no time to go shopping. Could I wear this dress do you think? It's going to be around 30C so don't want to wear anything too hot

yes it's lovely. do you have shoes and a handbag to go with it?

LostInShoebiz · 02/08/2018 16:14

Lovely choice.

Trinity66 · 02/08/2018 16:15

It's a little bit casual but I think you'd get away with it

Pengggwn · 02/08/2018 16:15

I would, with a nice pair of heels.

AdaColeman · 02/08/2018 16:16

Yes, very pretty!

TroubledLichen · 02/08/2018 16:17

I don’t see why not, dress it up a bit with heels if it’s a formal venue.

thanks, I was worried it may be a bit casual, was thinking of replacing the belt with a navy ribbon, and have heals and a bag to wear too

I think it's perfect especially in this heat! X

That would be lovely, oh pink heels and a pink bag would be nice with it too

It's fine OP.

GeezAJammyPeece · 02/08/2018 16:23

I did similar for a wedding at the start of June.
Wore a summery dress I had (similar colours, cream background with navy & stone paisley-type print) and just dressed it up with navy heels, fascinator, cropped jacket, handbag with sequin/stone embellishment in similar colours to dress.

I felt dressy but stayed cool and comfy.

not sure I'm quite brave enough for pink shoes! I have either black or nude heels

oh good idea about fascinator, I could get a hair clip or headband one to wear with it

But, to answer your question... Blush

Yes, it's lovely! And you should definitely wear it!! Smile

LisaDav · 02/08/2018 16:28

Lovely dress

GeezAJammyPeece · 02/08/2018 16:31

I'm not a "dressy" person.
I'm big, and always feel I don't look as 'put together' as smaller people, so veer towards casual more often than not but the fascinator made me feel much smarter than a wee swirl of froth should have Grin

Birdsgottafly · 02/08/2018 16:33

It depends on the Wedding and how you normally dress.

That wouldn't be dressy enough for me, but I wouldn't look at someone else wearing it and think that they could have made more of an effort.

I do have an alternative that I could wear instead, similar colours (I am very indecisive). Do you think this would be more dressy?

I prefer the first dress but the second is more dressy

GeezAJammyPeece · 02/08/2018 16:41

I'd go with the nude heels (I went out shopping for accessories thinking nude or navy, and decided once I had a shortlist of each)

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 02/08/2018 16:41

First one Op.

AnaChocolatte · 02/08/2018 16:42

Both are quite under dressed for a wedding but depends on how smart the wedding is. I think the second one is the more dressy of the two.

GeezAJammyPeece · 02/08/2018 16:42

Agree with Trinity66, whilst #2 may be dressier, I still prefer #1
