To wear long sleeves to my brother’s wedding?

I’m plus size. Size 22 so the dress is from Simply Be.

He’s getting married in the autumn.

Does the dress look ok for a wedding?

I'd say that's the perfect dress for an autumn wedding!

CuriousCatfish · 28/05/2022 18:58

What's with the it's not formal enough comments? It's a perfectly nice dress to wear to a wedding.

Your only unreasonableness is not to tell us where it is from.

It's in the OP!

paisley256 · 28/05/2022 18:58

Oooh what a lovely dress op!

FlissyPaps · 28/05/2022 18:58

It’s a lovely dress OP.

If you like it and feel comfortable in it, go for it!

Don't think there's any issue with wearing long sleeves at all! But...(and I'm CLEARLY in the minority here) I don't think that's a very nice dress. I don't think it looks like it would be at all flattering. The dress @Shoxfordian linked to looks much nicer to me

They're called opinions, which were requested 🙄

Shoxfordian · 28/05/2022 18:37

I much prefer the first one (purple)

InFiveMins · 28/05/2022 19:03

Ignore those that are saying it's too informal OP, it's a lovely dress and perfect for a wedding.

Clementinetree · 28/05/2022 19:05

Thanks everyone, I’ve ordered it now.

Now the next question, I need help finding some shoes that go with it!

Why would sleeves be a problem?

I think it is a nice dress. In my experience Simply Be dresses can vary a great deal in quality, so order it up and check that in plenty of time.

Cheerybigbottom · 28/05/2022 19:06

I love it

Buy the shoes as well Grin

ManateeFair · 28/05/2022 19:07

It’s a lovely dress. Perfectly OK for an autumn wedding if you add some posh-looking accessories.

tiredmumof4teenagers · 28/05/2022 19:07

It's gorgeous! Good choice.

PurpleFlower1983 · 28/05/2022 19:09

It’s lovely!

I thought the opposite. The dress OP put up is much nicer than the link to the second one.

OP it’s a lovely dress. You’ll look lovely.

Barkingmadhouse · 28/05/2022 19:10

Sleeves are fine although the dress is very informal for a wedding

Personally I thought the one Shoxfordian linked to was hideous

Newestname002 · 28/05/2022 19:12

It's a lovely dress,@Clementinetree and a gorgeous colour. I really like the sleeves and the band under the bust. With some nice jewellery- and maybe different shoes? plus as a PP said, a pashmina in case it gets cool. 🌹

maddiemookins16mum · 28/05/2022 19:13

Lovely, fab Autumn colour too.

Wolfiefan · 28/05/2022 19:15

Love it OP!

Clementinetree · 28/05/2022 19:20

What sort of jewellery should I go for? Now I’ve ordered the dress I’m thinking of how I can make it look even nicer?

Me too. The sleeves were particularly nasty.

I think that's a lovely dress OP. Good find,
