Is it U to wear this as a wedding guest?

I've asked a couple of people now, it's about an inch of the floor at the back if I'm wearing flats which I intend to later on or with heels, 4/5 inches.

Everyone I've asked (6 people) says it's fine and I should definitely wear it but if I were the bride, I feel as though I'd think whoever wore it was trying to steal the limelight (although, you can never truly upstage a bride).

Is everyone else BU here?

The dress has a mullet

FelicisNox · 03/05/2019 20:35

WOW! Just WOW! at all the super bitchy comments on this thread!

Jealousy? PMT? or just plain nasty? I don't know and don't particularly care, they all need to get some damn manners and STFU.

The dress is FINE, it's a lovely dress and won't upstage the bride as I seriously doubt the bride will be wearing a blue dress with flowers on it unless it's the style that will be similar?

It is very dressy but it's a wedding, that's what these dresses are made for.

If you're really worried don't do it but you should be fine.

As for the nasty comments: ignore them... they wouldn't be able to carry that dress off anyway, hence the spite.

Stay fabulous. Xx

I think it’s lovely. Heels though.

manicmij · 03/05/2019 20:49

I wouldn't wear it - anywhere! Can't see the purpose of the long bit at the back and won't it be an absolute pain if rising from a seating position, heels catching in it and looking all crumpled..

Serialweightwatcher · 03/05/2019 20:49

There's nothing wrong with it - why are people so rude? Everyone has different taste - she wasn't asking if you liked it, but if it was wedding appropriate, so don't be nasty to people, just answer the bloody question!

Attitude84 · 03/05/2019 20:55

I know what a lot of people are saying here.... I’ve been married four years and as long as you weren’t wearing white, I wouldn’t be bothered!

floraloctopus · 03/05/2019 20:58

I don't think you should wear it because if you think it might upstage the bride (I don't think it would) then you won't feel comfortable in it.

Pungifries · 03/05/2019 20:58

You’re not going to upstage the bride/ bridesmaids. Wear it and stop worrying xx

Simcat · 03/05/2019 21:06

It’s a perfect guest outfit and absolute rubbish that you’re trying to upstage the bride.
Yes ... if you were wearing white and a long dress. All brides want to be centre of attention but they also want their guest to look lovely esp in photos.

jellyjellabi · 03/05/2019 21:18

Can't believe how nasty some people are being. The op didn't ask for opinions on the dress only whether it would upstage the bride if she wore it. Everyone has different tastes and if the op likes this particular dress then she's at liberty to wear it.

Just comment whether it would be ok for a wedding or not and whether it would upset the bride instead of being so bitchy!
Op I don't think it would upstage the bride at all. Wear it and enjoy yourself

notangelinajolie · 03/05/2019 21:26

Wear it. It's fine, you won't upstage the bride.

Nothininmenoggin · 03/05/2019 21:26

Just read RTTF and just can't understand why woman are so bloody nasty to each other. The totally unnecessary and juvenile comments are pathetic. God you are all so brave behind a keyboard but irl would you really say that to someone's face. It's like a bloody school playground on here. Grow up and if you haven't got anything constructive or nice to say then stay quiet.

Now to answer the OP I absolutely LOVE it the colour, style everything. I think you will look lovely and I'm sure the bride and groom will appreciate the effort you have put in with your outfit. Have a lovely timeWine

LillithsFamiliar · 03/05/2019 21:33

It's lovely and quite a common style atm so I don't think anyone will think it looks like a train.
Ignore all the nastiness on here. We seem to have been infiltrated by posters being as horrible as possible. They'll get bored and go back to Twitter eventually Wink

AlaskanOilBaron · 03/05/2019 21:37

It's terrible and the hemline is a bit overlydramatic such that some might construe it as an inappropriate choice for a wedding.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 03/05/2019 21:37

Odd that people accusing other posters on here of being bitchy and bullying are now leaving long nasty rants. PMT? Hmm What a sexist load of bollocks.

Posters are critical of the DRESS not the OP. You can’t bully a dress.

NorthernKnickers · 03/05/2019 21:38

Not a very flattering shape I don't think. On anyone. Lovely colour though!

AlaskanOilBaron · 03/05/2019 21:41

Style & beauty is really only as useful as it is candid.

GunpowderGelatine · 03/05/2019 21:43

I think it falls under "too much of a party dress to carry off at a wedding". It's more fit for a nightclub than a wedding IMO

regmover · 03/05/2019 21:49

Lovely, and the shape of the skirt is very on-trend. Don't know why you've come in for such a nasty lot of attacks here.

MrsDesireeCarthorse · 03/05/2019 21:50

It looks trashy. There is no way I would wear that to a wedding. The long back etc is like mini tarty bride and yes, people will stare at it as a result. Nasty.

regmover · 03/05/2019 21:50

Oh and "it's more fit for a nightclub" - it so isn't! Grin

AlaskanOilBaron · 03/05/2019 21:50

The model looks terrible in it, the arms are staggeringly unflattering.

Nothininmenoggin · 03/05/2019 21:51

bum faced cat if that's a jibe at my post then I'm way past PMT. Just say it like I see it. There is no need for sarcastic comments about the dress.

AlaskanOilBaron · 03/05/2019 21:52

Oh and "it's more fit for a nightclub" - it so isn't!

No, it certainly is not!

MrsDesireeCarthorse · 03/05/2019 21:55

It looks like something that the pissed girls at Ladies’ Day at the races would wear.

Yeah! That is it! The other dresses posted are miles nicer than this one.
