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?

Hey, firstly, let's just ignore all the negative posts on here. The dress is wedding perfect. Gorgeous colours, a bit of drama to it with the hemline. Add some simple accessories. You'll look amazing. And the bride will think that too. You're not going to take anything away from her, she's the bride after all! And bear in mind that someone else will inevitably rock up in a sequin number (isn't there always one?) Everyone goes an extra step to dress up for a wedding, so don't worry. Wear it, rock it and enjoy a day celebrating your friend's special day! :)

Tbh it looks fairly ordinary to me.

It's a lovely dress,and would look perfect for a wedding. If you're unsure, you could always ask the bride. But generally, so long as it's not white, you're fine. Have a great time!

You can ignore me. I would highly advise it if it makes you feel better. The truth is that the wedding is not about you. Its the brides very special, hopefully once in a lifetime moment with precious husband. That being said, I am not without compassion for you; you seem to be naive and super excited to attend a fanciful affair. Ok! Then go for it! We live in an era insistant on mocking tradition anyway. Go all out! Enjoy the attention you'll get and toss aside any murmuring of guilt. Own it.

But don't be presumptuous. Perhaps you just don't know what that word means. And if you don't then just have a good time.

Too obvi the dress is sweet enough. It certainly doesn't hold a candle to a wedding dress, but what does it matter?

My "attempt" here was to point out the obvious. I failed.

I wore a very similar dress to my aunts wedding. I love that brand! I got so many compliments on the day and no I didn't feel like I was stealing a bit of the limelight. Being curvy myself it was very difficult to find something I felt comfortable in. So if you like it and it makes you feel good f* what anyone else has to say x

Upstage, limelight are big words and probably not the correct terms I was going for. I had no hopes of going for that anyway, I wanted to just blend in and wear a nice dress at the same time. I didn't want it to be one of those things people remembered and talked about.

I did wear the dress, I had several compliments on the dress, including from the bride. Perhaps the guests aren't on MN.

Wow that same person is really persistent in their meanness.

Oh. Yeah. I'm so mean!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Lmao

I don’t mean to be rude but it’s a VERY particular dress. If one of my friends wore it I might be tempted to say: my great-grandmother called, she wants her flower curtains back.

I think your feeling of the upstaging possibilty might have to do with it being quite an attention grabbing dress.

It's not going to upstage any bride, but it's an odd dress. It's someone's 'twist' (putting a longer back on the skirt) on a not very flattering 50's style. Large floral designs just make me think of frumpy 80's Laura Ashley dresses.

Glad you enjoyed the wedding, sure you looked great. And also pleased you’ve acknowledged your choice of language in your original post was probably what caused the controversy on this thread, not the dress.

You asked on Friday about the dress to wear this weekend?
You were never not going to wear it if people thought it was inappropriate, were you?
I have to agree with Beethoven. Odd choice of words throughout.

I do wonder why people post on here 🤨
