For a black tie charity ball?

No, I'd say it was fine

Mummy2one2016 · 24/10/2019 14:17

It's a lovely dress, I think it would be perfect

ParkheadParadise · 24/10/2019 14:19

No, it's lovely

Gruzinkerbell1 · 24/10/2019 14:20

It’s perfect

seaweedandmarchingbands · 24/10/2019 14:21

I think it’s fine.

PastTippingPoint · 24/10/2019 14:21

It's gorgeous! Perfect for a black tie event Smile

Thiswayorthatway · 24/10/2019 14:21

No, especially not in that colour

Stressedout10 · 24/10/2019 14:22

Sorry but yes it is.
The pictures even show the model holding a small bouquet

BeatriceTheBeast · 24/10/2019 14:23

I also think it's fine.

seaweedandmarchingbands · 24/10/2019 14:25

It could definitely be a bridesmaid’s dress (I had mine in something not that different). But it’s not just a bridesmaid’s dress. IMO anyway.

It's beautiful, and context is everything. No-one will think bridesmaid if you're at a black tie do, they'll just think eveningwear.

Apolloanddaphne · 24/10/2019 14:27

It is beautiful and not all bridesmaidy. And it is for a ball not a wedding so there will be no brides in the room!

Stuckinanutshell · 24/10/2019 14:27

For a black tie event or ball it’s perfect. If you were attending a wedding it is too much like a bridesmaid dress.

It’s all about the context. It’s lovely for your event.

LeftoverPizza · 24/10/2019 14:29

I think it’s lovely

SerenDippitty · 24/10/2019 14:31

Thanks everyone, I’ve ordered it.

Asos are good for these types of dresses if you want to shop around

MrsCasares · 24/10/2019 14:32

I also think it’s lovely. Nice clutch bag instead of the bouquet and it’s ideal.

Walnutwhipster · 24/10/2019 14:35

I wore something very similar for the last one I attended.

Bluntness100 · 24/10/2019 14:37

Clearly it could be a bridesmaids dress, but perfect for a black tie. No one will be thinking weddings.

Sallyseagull · 24/10/2019 15:09

Its great.

Toorahtoorahaye · 24/10/2019 15:38

It’s lovely
