To wear this to a wedding

[Itiswhatitispeople]

Mumsnet don’t destroy me. I haven’t been to a wedding as an adult -

Am I being unreasonable to wear this dress to a wedding?

I don’t know so am hoping for those who do’s opinion.

please help

I think it looks great for the time and venue you described. I'd love your figure.

It's beautiful and sounds perfect. Have a great time

I would say it’s unsuitable. The slit is too tarty for a wedding

Totally agree with this. Sorry OP, it's not weddingy and you'll stick out like a sore thumb.

I think it's gorgeous!

I think if you lower the slit it's fine.

It's lovely, especially for late afternoon/evening as you describe. I wish I had the confidence to wear something like that!

“The slit is way too high, the straps and the draping at the back look messy. It's a bit of a hot mess all round tbh.”

^I couldn’t have put it better myself

It’s absolutely gorgeous, I think completely fine for non religious wedding.

It's lovely and if you sew the slit up a bit it would widen the range of things you could wear it to.

BUT i think it's a bit blingy for a wedding.

This. There is no way I would wear a dress like that anywhere to be honest.

No, it's "too much" for a wedding.

Absolutely gorgeous dress but, in my opinion, not for a wedding.
It absolutely screams 'look at me!' And this just, might, detract a bit from the bride.

As I say, it's just my opinion.

The split is the only thing I think is a bit of an issue- mid thigh is ok but it looks higher. I personally couldn't as I need a bra with the strength of scaffolding but if you are smaller and firmer in that department a low back isn't the same problem .

It looks quite cheap and more the sort of thing you wear to a party or a nightclub. Definitely a attention-grabber though, if that's your aim.

From your description and that you'd stitch the split so it's not so high, I'd say it sounds perfect. Enjoy the wedding!

It looks like you had an indiscretion with the groom and you're slinking around, showing him what he's missing...

If I was 26 and had the body for it I would!

Absolutely not.

It would make you look like a high-class hooker that's trying to outdo the bride.

Maybe pair with a white jacket to
cover your back for the ceremony , then party hard 🎉🎉🎉

This would go amazingly with it if you were able to match in the colours. Many weddings I've been to, people have dressed similarly. You'll suit it.

I’d say it was more an evening party dress really. Lovely in the right setting , not sure that’s a wedding. I don’t like the messy straps at the back.

I got married in April (also a small friend and family wedding)

First of all I love the dress, it would be ideal for a beach wedding setting

It wouldn’t ruin my day seeing a guest wearing that dress on my wedding day, nor would I mention it but admittedly I’d probably in my head question the choice of outfit

I personally wouldn’t wear that, I do not think it is the slit I think more the back and the colour. But everyone’s opinions are different

My rule is honestly if you’re having to question it there is part of you that thinks it could be inappropriate… so maybe look for something else?

Also forgot to add you can always ask the bride?

Some of my friends sent me photos of their dresses and all of them were lovely apart from one that was white long maxi dress… I did say no to that 🤣

This. Way too attention seeking.
