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?

[Ineedamanipedi]

I’m getting married in a couple of weeks and although I don’t think I’d be annoyed as such if a guest wore this I would probably think it’s an odd choice.

@Overtheborder
Again sorry, I just thought it’s a beautiful dress☹️

[LuluJakey1]

It won't upstage anyone else's outfit.

[cuppycakey]

It's horrible.

[Springwalk]

I don't think there is any chance you will upstage the bride op, really no chance unless there is a halloween theme.

[goldenchicken]

It would be a lot nicer, if the long 'train' was chopped off, and it was just knee length.

Pretty pattern and all.

As it is though, it's not very nice IMO.

[Penny2000]

I think it is a lovely dress for a wedding guest and perfect for a curvy figure.

[Harebel]

Not to my taste at all but if you like it wear it, unless you go to some odd weddings where people comment on others outfits I'd not be worrying about upstaging either bride, bridesmaids or other guests in that dress.

To the PP who said you can only wear it if you're slim, lol that's ridiculous!

[Sb74]

As always, full of unnecessary nasty comments from posters. Are you like this is real life?? Op, I think the dress looks nice. It’s is quite unusual so it might get some attention. To be on the safe side maybe go with something more standard.

[jonsnowlowblow]

If it's not wedding appropriate, where else would you bloody wear that thing?!

[Absofrigginlootly]

Wow people are being really rude and nasty in this thread. There’s just no need for it. Does it make you feel good to tear other people and their choices/taste down?
People have different tastes and something that I would love I’m sure someone else would think was awful but why would you ever say something to them if they like it?

OP ignore all the posters being catty and rude just for the sake of it. I think it’s a typical wedding guest sort of dress. I don’t think the dropped hem looks like a wedding train and the fabric isn’t “bridal” so no worries there.

If you feel good in it wear it and have a lovely time

[cheercaptain]

If you would feel that way as a bride, then do not wear the dress however I am certain that no one, including the bride, would feel upstaged by this dress. What is it about this dress that you like? I dislike everything about it but each to their own. Chi Chi do that style all the time so you may have other guests in similar style too.

[Absofrigginlootly]

Just had another look. I actually really like it! So if that means I have no taste too I don’t care, what other people think doesn’t concern me, I have my own sense of style

[Alarae]

I have a Chi Chi dress in that shape but in a different pattern.

I wore it to a wedding last year and I can safely say no one believed I was part of the wedding party! Mine even had a deep v on the back. Racy.

[EauDeReality]

I quite like it. Wouldn't wear it myself but if it's your style, wear it. Nobody expects guests to dress like Coast is the only shop in the world do they?

[Crystalblue13]

I think it’s nice and fine to wear for a wedding. If you feel good in it wear it

[GetSetNo]

Oh FFS, I mean I don't want talk to be "look at GetSetNo trying so hard/looking like she wants to be a bridesmaid". Next you will tell me I'm too worried about people's opinions. It'll either be I think too much of myself or too little, I can't win. I truly wonder if these MNetters with the unnecessarily rude comments are the same who are horrified about online bullying. I take it with a pinch of salt but the next person may not.

As I said, of course you can't upstage the bride. It's not too dressy, it's just the back I wondered about.

[Hohofortherobbers]

I like it, but do not wear with flats

[Alsohuman]

Nobody ever used to worry about this stuff. You chose a nice outfit you liked and that was it. No bride ever is upstaged. She’s the radiant, glowing one with her back to the congregation.

[JustCallMeSliths]

If you're worried about getting too much attention then don't wear it.

[ThumbWitchesAbroad]

If it's not actually trailing on the floor then it won't look that much like a train - so wear it with heels.

It's a very common style in Australia, loads of people wear dresses like this to all occasions - not that that helps you necessarily if you're in the UK! - so as long as you're comfortable with it, wear it.

[Biancadelrioisback]

I have no issue with dip hem or high-low hems. I quite like them actually! This is just not a nice colour, the shorter part of the hem is too short, the longer side is too long and the neckline doesn't suit the rest of the dress. It's hardly a train and quite a common style of dress. There will more than likely be several others with a similar hemline.

[Ivgotasecretcanyoukeepit]

No it won’t upstage the bride but those High/Low hemlines are rather cheap looking.

[SinisterBumFacedCat]

I don’t think you have to worry about upstaging the bride, unless you’re wearing white! It’s up to you, tbh I like it without the train, I imagine looking back in a couple of years on the photos it’ll look a bit dated.

[kateandme]

its lovely.and no it wont upstage.
