Is this ok to wear as a guest to a wedding

Too much white?

You will look like a bride.

@Howdidigetsoold

I think you should see if the MIL will wear something similar as well

Yes, you could team up your outfit with your ex MiL's ensemble in a clever play on the themes of everlasting bonded love, mourning and re-birth. The bride will adore it.

Sudden influx of people saying it's bridal looking? Just not getting that vibe at all. I think its perfect OP. Accessorise with something blue and a nice bunch of flowers to set the look off.

Can you not save some money and wear the dress you wore when you married your exh?

@merrymouse

Are you being serious??!!! That’s a brides dress.

I honestly think its fine to wear white to a wedding these days. Must be OK if the Duchess of Cambridge did it.

The suit at H&M wedding was Yellow.

Anyway back to the thread. Perfect dress. But why wouldn’t you style the veil to cover your face? Or floor length? That one simply won’t do.

@SpindleWhorl I spat my food out. Brava.

Just popping up to ask that age old question: are you on glue?! If not, definitely have some & take it to the wedding too of course!
If you want to give a really useful wedding present, I'm sure the MN crew could write an ode memoir on how many meals you can get out of a Sunday roast chicken leftover & if we all sub in, get it published in hardback & everything?

What about something a bit less traditional. As a guest it’s so tempting to honour the occasion by sticking to tried and tested styles but these teamed with a fascinator or simple buttonhole posy would be fashion forward as well as great for walking/dancing in. Also you wouldn’t need to take 3 mates to the bog with you every time you needed a pee.

Since it is for your EXDH's wedding, you could perhaps go even more Miss Havisham : turn up only partly done up in the dress and with just the one shoe? Could the train be slightly moth-eaten and the flowers DEAD? Offer a mouse-eaten cake as a present? Remember to exclaim 'beggar him' at any quiet moment?

Too gothic?

Yeah, not getting a bridal vibe here either. Classy, elegant, neutral, classic is all I see.

Toddy’s going to the 1st grade this year! What should I do?

LOL.

Absolutely not - it’s a bridal dress!!
Guests must never, ever, try to upstage the bride. 😳😳😳

If I were the bride I would be very upset . It is not appropriate to wear anything similar to a bridal dress to a wedding , even with red shoes

Its a joke

I don't know. I'm on the fence. It's a little understated.
I think you could accessorize with some bits left over from the hen night, (I'm sure you were invited) just to, you know, jazz it up a bit. Some nice pink handcuffs, perhaps, you could slip them round the grooms wrists at the right moment?

Well what colour shoes would you suggest?

@pam290358

Is this a joke ? If you turned up at my wedding dressed like this you’d be ejected - red shoes or not !!!

Ok what if she toned the shoes down to a cerise?

@ledesertsacre what do you think about cerise?

Photo attached.

Is it your wedding???? No you can’t wear that !

I think even @Zelaidee and @pam290358 would have to agree that cerise would really tone down the outfit, so if that is what the OP is after, it'd probably be better than the red.

Don't the people getting arsey with the OP feel embarrassed of themselves?!😂 what an awkward read this was.
OP the dress is stunning. I'd recommend a bolero.

*The suit at H&M wedding was Yellow.

OK, so if white is still a problem (some people do make mountains out of molehills!). this dress could also work in a very pale yellow.

It's lovely, but to honest, I think it's a bit bland for a wedding guest outfit.

Do you think you could fid something similar but with a bigger skirt? It would make it more weddingy.
