Mum thinks this dress isn't right for wedding

[confusedmummy123]

Going to a wedding in a couple weeks. Saw a gorgeous bardot dress, loved it, fiance loved it so ordered it and I love it in real life too. However I sent a pic to my mum who just texted back "I don't like it for a wedding" then didn't say why or anymore? Am I breaking some kind of etiquette? Clueless about these things. Most weddings I've been too I've been the bridesmaid or the bride and don't have a clue how guests dressed. I do remember a wedding a few years back where I wore a red polka dot dress. Don't know if that was breaking any etiquette rules. I do believe that mother likes that dress though! I will attach a pic of the dress!

(I’m bored)

It’s lovely but looks more for the beach. Also assuming the wedding is in the Uk you might be cold!

Too short

The least she can do is report back now to let enquiring minds know how it went and what she choose. 😤

Something like a maxi dress would be more suitable. You could wear it again on holiday.

She did. Back in May. Filter by 'See All OP's Posts' - there are five - and you'll see she apparently chose a workaday blue flowery dress only fractionally more suitable for a wedding.

Here's the update

I’d pop that on over a bikini on the beach whilst I nipped to the loo or got a drink. Then I’d screw it up and shove it in my beach bag until the next time I needed to wear it. It’s 100 percent not suitable for a UK wedding.

very strange choices

I think this is a reverse. You are the mother aren't you?

It's not really suitable for a wedding. Looks like something I'd wear to a BBQ at a friend's house. I'd look for something a bit more fitting for the occasion.

Check the date on the original post it's from 25/04/2022.

The op didn't wear the pink dress in the end, instead chose a blue flowery one that wasn't much better.

I had a casual barn wedding so summer dresses where fine at mine but for formal weddings (which most are) this is too casual.

For fancy dress/ knocking about on the beach maybe. For a wedding, absolutely not. It’s vile and looks exceptionally cheaply made. Sorry your mum is right on this.

Perfect for a beach wedding!

Ffs 🤦‍♀️

I would say a bit too casual unless a quite informal wedding

It’s a beach dress. Not suitable for a wedding or the time of year.

Ah just saw this is an old thread so time of year irrelevant. But it does look cheap and nasty.

Everyone saying if it’s not formal it’s fine, it’s bloody not fine, it’s a wedding!!! Have a bit of pride and make an effort, Jesus!

It’s pretty but more of a holiday/beach cover up.
also too summery for November.

Zombie. Why did they revive this old post

FFS

I agree with uour mum. It is totally unsuitable. Far too short. Its a beach dress I would say.

Your wearing that in October? You’ll will be cold. But not wedding attire this is a casual weekend high summer dress.
