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 awful.

Why would that upstage the bride? There are plenty of dresses that have that sort of hem out now.. no one will even notice

Definitely not a bride upstaging dress. Wear it if you like it. I love the colour.

Wow the bullying catty posters are out in full force. What pointless nasty comments, glad you're taking no notice OP.

I really get what you mean about the back being so styled it's akin to a bride's train. I think although the colour and fabric are very wedding guest suitable, I wouldn't wear it because of the back either. I wouldn't want any risk of being that person.

Have you got any other options?

'its a mullet dress'😄

I love it and I'm sure you'll look beautiful in it op.

It will look lovely once you have your buttonhole and hat or fascinator on.

Not quite sure why you think you will upstage the bride in that.

Depends on the wedding, bit ott for registry office and drinks at the pub, but fine for a posh hotel/country house wedding!

Its appropriate for a wedding.

The thing is that nobody will tell you at the wedding, but MN may well be representation of what people are thinking.
You'll never please everyone anyway, so wear what you like.

But what definitely got most pps was the idea that you could upstage the bride in that sort of dress. Long skirt, short skirt or, let's face it, mullet skirt.
Unless you think people would think you had tried to upstage the bride.
Do you have the attitude and personality that would make people think it?

The second dress posted is much nicer, I think you should order and try that OP. The first one is a bit bridesmaid looking from the back. And definitaly won't suit flats. 2nd one flats would be fine.

I agree with many other posters, there's no way you'd upstage the bride in that.
I can't abide these dresses with uneven gems.. They always look unfinished.
What sort of fabric is it? " If it creases easily you will a mess after sitting down once.
Wear the other one

Only going to work if you've got better pins than the model.

It doesn't look like a train.
Personally, I detest these type of dresses and I think people will look back and wonder what they were thinking...same with cold shoulder tops!!

It's perfect for a wedding

I think it's lovely

I’ve been to a couple of weddings this year and it was a popular style. Nothing to worry about.

FWIW I think it’s a style that looks much better on someone curvy.

I don’t think you’d upstage the bride but I do think a few people would think you were trying to, as the back looks a bit like it’s trying to be a train!

I would say it's suitable to wear to a wedding. The back looks nothing like a bridal train. It's just a mullet hem.

I would also say it's butt-ugly, and the only upstaging would be that more people might be thinking about that than what the bride was wearing.

I like it! I think it's definitely wedding guest attire. Better to be overdressed (although I don't think this is) than underdressed and regret not wearing what is a gorgeous dress. Keep everything else simple, shoes, bag etc.

Apart from the fact that, the sut of the skirt is awful it's fine if you like the style

People have criticised the dress NOT the OP.

I think it would entirely depend on the wedding. Morning suits - no. Lounge suits - if you happen to like it.
