To wear this to a wedding

[Rightyoh]

Going to a wedding reception on Saturday night... wibu to wear this?

You should have asked in style and beauty, they can give you alternatives.

What style are you going for (hopefully different to this one)?And do you have a budget?

90% of wedding guests in Ireland would wear something similar. Not sure about UK I’ve never been to a wedding there but going by the comments I think not

I don't think anyone will think you are in mourning wearing THAT

black is absolutely fine, as long as the actual outfit is appropriate. Even the young (female) royals have been wearing black at weddings!

As long as you avoid the extreme opposite, full widow veil on, black is fine!

Also I have no problem with skin being shown, I just don't like the dress. It looks cheap.

Only on Mumsnet do people get so het up about what is appropriate for weddings. At most weddings you get a range of ages and a range of outfits.

I hate this "only on MN" nonsense from people who clearly have never left their village ever and can't imagine that anyone has different experience.

I have never been to any wedding where anyone would have thought appropriate to wear a nightie. So what, only on Mumsnet would people make a fool of themselves at weddings?

This more acceptable?

Second one is very nice

Yes, much!

Much better 👍

Second dress is lovely and perfect for an autumn wedding.

Surprised you had to ask about the first one though!

I hope people say the second one is appropriate, because I've worn almost exactly that to a wedding!

Rule of thumb is always, if you have to ask, don't wear it though. Because if you care enough to ask, the assurance of internet randoms in advance won't be very helpful to you when you're actually there.

Second dress perfect. First isn't great and looks very cheap.

If you can pull off the 2nd one, please do wear it, it's perfect.

If you were trying to say "Fuck you for only inviting me to the evening do" then the first outfit would do the job.

I like the second one a lot.

Is the groom your ex?

Second one is nice.

laughing at Pp who said people will think op is in mourning at not marrying the bride or groom’nn

The second dress is perfect

Way too slutty for a wedding, if you want to pull focus and have everyone talking about you go ahead , not sure thus is even suitable for clubbing

Hahaha thanks everyone. Saved me some blushes there
I’m 38(really don’t look it) size 10, tattoos, very short Hair. This 2nd dress isn’t really my style, but I must conform 🙄

Literally the only person who could get away with that is Beyonce.

Though Amanda Holden would have a go.

They’ll be talking about me anyway!

Gorgeous dress but OTT for a wedding reception. Great for a flash ball though.

They’ll be talking about me anyway!

It IS your ex

First one is a bit Ann Summers, second one is fab.

This 2nd dress isn’t really my style, but I must conform 🙄

do you really spend your life in outfits like dress 1?

You can wear appropriate clothing without having to "conform".
