I am about to go to a very posh wedding drinks reception. Someone has made a negative comment and now I’m worried! I am wearing a lovely dress with lace top and midi length pleated skirt, bare legs and low heels. It is black and this person says I can’t wear it to a wedding for this reason.

But….. I am the vicar that took the wedding! And it’s the nicest and most formal vicar dress I have to wear with my vicar dog collar. Also everyone knows that vicars often wear black so I thought it would be okay. I am wearing a dog collar so it is obvious that I am the vicar!

AIBU to wear it?

That’s lovely, and looks great with your collar!

Cracking outfit. You look fab! It's very sophisticated looking. Can't see any problems with wearing that to a wedding 😊

WildOats5678 · 20/08/2022 19:12

Oh wow you look lovely!! Definitely wedding attire

picklemewalnuts · 20/08/2022 19:15

Perfect! I work with vicars! The vast majority of them are just the best, most interesting people!

SunnyKlara · 20/08/2022 19:15

That is a gorgeous vicar-dress! (Apologies, I am sure there is a proper term), but you look lovely

MumofSpud · 20/08/2022 19:15

Of course you can! If it was a WHITE lace dress then maybe not!

SharpLily · 20/08/2022 19:15

You look lovely and completely appropriate. I actually think that's a very good way of bringing a modern spin to a position often seen as old fashioned and out of date.

ApolloandDaphne · 20/08/2022 19:16

You look vicar perfect!

EL8888 · 20/08/2022 19:17

Looks lovely!

velvetvixen · 20/08/2022 19:24

You look lovely! have a fab evening.

StoneofDestiny · 20/08/2022 19:24

Never knew you 'couldn't' wear black to a wedding!

ThirtyThreeTrees · 20/08/2022 19:25

I think you've got it absolutely spot on. Completely appropriate for such an occasion.

It's lovely.

MuffinMcLayLikeABundleOfHay · 20/08/2022 19:27

It's perfection.

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 20/08/2022 19:28

I love it! Where is it from though?!

Hesma · 20/08/2022 19:33

@HappyBinosaur that looks beautiful OP and totally appropriate. Enjoy your evening

ThinWomansBrain · 20/08/2022 19:37

Looks fine - tell realtive you can only wear red if appointed by the queen 😆
Or a Bishop

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 20/08/2022 19:43

The vicar who married us came to the 'welcome drinks' part of our wedding breakfast back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and he was wearing a black shirt, trousers and tie with his 'dog collar'. Absolutely not an issue. You sound lovely.

cheninblanc · 20/08/2022 19:44

Sounds lovely!

Gazelda · 20/08/2022 19:45

It's never occurred to me before that vicars might need their own clothing range.
I think you look fabulous, very stylish.

Bluebells12 · 20/08/2022 19:49

People shouldn’t wear black to weddings UNLESS they’re the vicar - everyone knows the vicar wears black. You’re fine!

LazyDaisy22 · 20/08/2022 19:55

A beautiful dress for a wedding. You look lovely. Hope you’ve had a great time.

CastleCrasher · 20/08/2022 19:56

Gorgeous dress, where is it from please?
