To wear long sleeves to my brother’s wedding?

[Clementinetree]

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?

With the rich purple I would keep the jewellery simple and understated - personally I like silver with purple so perhaps a collar-type necklace, tennis bracelet and simple hoop earrings.

Beautiful and very autumnal.

Lovely dress OP perfect for an autumn wedding. It can be easily made look very dressy with accessories but at the same time you will get great wear out of it next winter as not too dressy to wear for less formal events. It won't get left sitting in your wardrobe unworn

Lovely dress, but don't just wear the long sleeves wear the whole dress, otherwise you may be a distraction in the church...

I love it!! I think it would be perfect for an autumn wedding.

I agree with PinkiOcelot, plus the SimplyBe one is more forgiving

Lovely dress. Prefer the one you picked to another one someone linked.

As for being too informal as some have said, I wore skinny trousers and a blouse to to my sisters wedding. It’s what ever you feel comfortable in that’s important.

hope you have a great time.

That will be a nightmare if OP is booby with the buttons and high neck and it's quite fitted of op carries more on her waist.

Your dress is lovely @Clementinetree I just wish it were cheaper!

It's lovely. I hope you have a great time

It's all a matter of opinion isn't it.

i think on the right person (ie definitely not me) the dress in the OP could look nice, but I think the dress you & shoxfordian are suggesting is horrible & less suitable for a wedding!

both would trail the floor, be too clingy and look. Gid awful on me!

@Clementinetree what's the problem with long sleeves to a wedding??

buy the dress, if it looks good on you then it'll be perfectly fine for a wedding!

Dress is fine for a wedding, much too flouncy for a short arse like me but nice if you are over 5ft.

I really want to know about the long sleeve thing though.

im interested in the long sleeve thing

im going to a reigstry wedding in a couple of months all very casual and small but im still worried about what to wear

I just didn’t think I’d ever seen anyone in long sleeves at a wedding. That’s all. Was worried it might look odd.

I’m 5’7 so hoping it’ll be ok on me length wise.

Agree that the dress Shoxfordian linked is just the worst. Dress in the OP very nice and definitely dressy enough for a wedding.

Nice dress but too casual.
btw, there’s nothing wrong with wearing long sleeves to a wedding x

I hope it’s not too casual, I’ve bought it now. Did manage to find a discount voucher online so got £18.00 off original price.
I thought if I wore some nice shoes and jewellery with it, it would look dressy enough.

My brother (the groom) is wearing a tweed look suit I think.

It:s a lovely dress.

It’s a lovely dress @Clementinetree beautiful colour. I think you can dress it up with accessories for a wedding, and then afterwards it would look great dressed down too.

I've never heard it's not the done thing to wear long sleeves at a wedding!
I think it's perfect for a wedding.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I’m glad I’ve bought it now.

What colour shoes would go best? Sorry I’m pretty stuck trying to think of the right look to go with it.

What about these?

Re. shoes, I'd go for nude (a gold tone, rather than grey) or a pale pink.

Jewellery - Keep it simple. I’d sway more towards silver/white gold. What do you normally wear for occasions? I wouldn’t splash out on new jewellery just a for a wedding.

Shoes - Either black or silver court shoes/block heels.

Whatever bag colour you choose - match it with the shoes!

Shoes: there’s actually a few colours that work well with this colour, what colour is your hair and skin tone? Navy, forest green, gold/beige, you could even match the same colour for a full colour block which can look super classy. Have a look at Ruby Shoo, also Zara have some in that could be the exact shade of purple.
