Just saw another S&B post and I'm concerned.

The post was "is this suitable for a wedding" (classic), but one of the reasons the dress was unsuitable was that it was too 'sparkly'.

I've bought a sparkly outfit to wear as a guest for a wedding, and now I've got The Fear that it's too much.

It's this top, with a similar colour (blush/gold) midi length gauze skirt (ballerina style). And I plan to wear it with a box navy jacket for the service (and navy suede shoes): https://www.phase-eight.com/product/dhara-sequin-blouse-502166453.html#navAjax=true&imageType=model&is=true&sz=60&start=60&q=sequin&isSecondPage=false&pid=502166453&pos=69

The bride will be wearing Ivory, and the bridesmaids are in terracotta. Have I misjudged it?

Dhara Sequin Blouse |

For a more relaxed take on party dressing, our Dhara blouse is the answer. Embellished with sparkling sequins, this piece is a easy, standout separate with plenty of style impact.

Haven't read the full thread just looked at the top and skirt, beautiful, not too much for a wedding I think it's perfect. Reminds me of the dresses in that style which are usually styled as wedding guest outfits.

Word to the wise do not base decision on attire based on mn opinion. Mn S&B has batshit crazy rules
no sparkles
no white or ivory
modest and curmudgeonly frocks
no vivid patterns
no spots
no floral
no elastic
no Velcro
no zip
no buttons
no maxi dress
no mini dress
no midi dress
no trousers
no heels
no flats
no boots
no trainers

i suggest you get a white sheet and fashion it with a tame belt

I have also seen
no black
no green
no red

It is all a bit tragic and joyless.

Yes you’re correct, a happy occasion to dress up becomes a quagmire of manners & silly rules
