Is it U to wear this as a wedding guest?

[GetSetNo]

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?

It’s not white

So yes fine for a wedding :)

And it’s not all black either :)
Some don’t like all black as say funeral Colours

Looks a bit attention-seeking to me, which jars a bit. I probably wouldn't risk it. You'll get looks all day on the account that the design is a bit unusual but that will just make you feel paranoid - and probably uncomfortable - given your initial reservations about wearing it at all etc. You won't upstage the bride, however I guess you're more worried that it will look like you tried to upstage her. I get that. I'd wear it to a party instead.

Yes this made it into the newspapers but it wasn’t the article that attracted me to read it, it was the stunningly sour faced bitchy comments from some of our resident fashion experts.
You might not like the dress but you won’t be wearing it.

Some of you have obviously been sniffing too much air freshener and think you’re entitled to be unnecessarily mean to the OP

I wouldn't personally wear it but I wouldn't think twice if someone wore it to my wedding

Take no bleeding notice of them. For what it’s worth I think it’s lovely

Dress isn't my style but I don't see the issue wearing it to a wedding.
But I don't get the whole wedding wear rules. People who invite me know I will dress in a way I was comfy

IMO, AIBU is not an excuse for plain nastiness.

Rookie error @GetSetNo - sadly in my experience AIBU can be positively vicious.

Great dress and fine for a wedding IMHO.

Pretty much always safe if it's floral and particularly if it's a darker background colour, irrespective of the hemline.

I think it's inappropriate for a wedding.

It's not even attractive, it's an attention seeking dress - purely my opinion.

Congratulations for making it to the daily mail.
I am not sure why you could not be satisfied with what your friends told you.
Wear what you like, aslong as you feel good .
I can't understand why you would remotely think you could upstage the bride though.

I think it's lovely.

Well you'll definitely upstage the bride now the dress and thread has been on mail online

Ignore the haters. They're being incredibly rude. I think that dress is stunning and I'm sure you'll look fantastic in it.

In response to your original question, you won't upstage the bride but you will get compliments about the fab dress you're wearing. That's the perfect type of dress to wear to a wedding. Wear it and enjoy yourself.

I’d be much more worried about being charged with ‘Crimes Against Humanity’. It could be a federal offence to wear something like that. All kidding aside, you can’t upstage the bride by wearing 1980’s wallpaper in the form of a dress. Wear away until your heart’s content.

The thing is the women most likely to be wearing tailored, stiff, floor length satin are the bride and her bridesmaids. This could easily be a bridesmaid's dress

Chi Chi actually have quite a few dresses in exactly the same style listed in their bridesmaids section:

My advice would be to get something that makes you look more like a guest than a member of the wedding party OP.

Mail and the Mirror!

Here’s a tip. If you think there’s any chance of upstaging the bride - DON’T WEAR IT FFS. Are you really this shallow? Complaining about comments after what you posted? Use your common sense FFS. Get a f*king grip sweetheart and try to think a little bit more instead of being so focused on yourself. AGAIN - If you think there’s any chance of upstaging the bride - DON’T F*KING WEAR IT!

Upstage is a pretty big word.

I think humble pie should fill your fridge.

I seriously can't believe you put this post out there. Have you never worn a dress before?

Ugh.

I think the key phrase here is "upstage"

Right, everybody? If you had been "innocent " in your query wondering whether your dress was wedding attendance worthy, none of us would have continued to banter. But the bottom line is this. Even the elite have a cap on their spending. Now are the impressive years of my like

Mumsnet at its worst. Up the sisterhood.

Op ignore Beethovens5th

Daily Mail and the metro must be desperate for news! 😂

It would've been fine, but now everyone knows what you're planning on wearing you'll have to change your mind!
