Can I wear this to a wedding?

[Pedalpushers]

Just that really. Going to a wedding in 2 weeks and need a new dress.

I seem to be drawn to floral on white and am wondering if I can get away with it or if it's still a faux pas?

@Invisablewoman

Oh thank you! I've been umming and ahhing about returning it. I was worried it was too tight and too young for me (I'm 45).

definitely not.. the cut is beautiful and the fabric looks lovely soft and the pattern is gorgeous.. I need to get online for a browse 😂

I think it's beautiful for a wedding

I think it’s lovely for a wedding

Of aaalllllllll the colours you could pick from, you want to wear white 🤔

Thanks for opinions everyone. It looks like people object to the style more than the colour! I hadn't really clocked that the shirring goes all the way down, I thought it was just the waist. I might look for something more flared in the skirt.

No it's cream with peach flowers all over it 🤣

If you're worried you will be judged by some guests you probably will be.

If it was my wedding I wouldn't mind in the least. That said, I wouldn't wear it to a wedding.

Too white for me but definitely not the right shape/cut for a wedding, sorry!

I think it's fine if you're quite petite OP. I'd never wear that to a wedding because with my boobs it wold look indecent!

Lovely. Pick out the colour of the flowers with your fascinator/hat and buttonhole.

If you don't like my comments then please Report me to MNHQ instead of hijacking OP's thread

You haven’t breeched NN rules so why would I report you. It’s the total hypocrisy of telling other people what they should and shouldn’t post that’s tedious.

Oh and so you don’t think I’m hijacking …it’s a bit too short and low cut for a wedding. More a going out dress than a formal occasion dress.

It’s ok as long as you have bold accessories with it

It looks lovely but it's shirred so you'll be constantly pulling it down.
It's also very low cut so there might be the possibility of a bit of over exposure at times.

Fine with brighter accessories, unless bridesmaids or flowergirls have same shades for dresses, then no.

Too much white in my opinion. If you’re having to ask it’s really a no!

Too low cut and too short for a wedding

Not suitable for a wedding. Colour and style.

Gorgeous for a summer wedding 😀

I think it depends on you and the wedding. It's not a very formal dress but it's very pretty. If it's a relaxed summer wedding where most non-family guests are 20-somethings, you will probably look lovely and suitable.

Looks lovely for a summer wedding.

You could wear that to my wedding OP.

No one ever upstages a bride unless they turn up in a wedding dress, veil and bouquet in a vintage rolls and cut the cake.

I really really do not understand this.
I have only seen it on mn.

Plain white or cream dress - no
White with pattern that is styled like a bridesmaid/wedding dress - no

summer dress white/pale background with flowers on, in a dress style which is not remotely like a wedding dress - perfectly fine.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with the colour of it. I am puzzled by the photo and can’t visualise how it is supposed to look though. The V at the front looks like it should come to the top of the cleavage but then proportionally that would mean it is more of a long top than a dress (although I am tall so that is how it looks to me). 😊. But in any case it looks very clingy with all the elastic and very short too. Not something I could pull off but even if I could, I am not sure it is suitable for a wedding.

I don’t really like it but I think it is absolutely fine for a (not too formal) wedding.

Legs OR boobs, not both
