To wear this dress to a wedding?

[Mumto1boyo]

Would this dress be OK to wear as a guest to a wedding? Fully prepared to be told no but no worries as can use it just as a summer dress.

Yes I think so!

The fact that it’s from Shein is a huge no.

I love that! It'll be great

It’s fine, you’ll look lovely. ❤️

I don't see why not. Its got a small amount of white at the bottom of the skirt but there's no way you would confuse it with a bridal dress so looks fine to me.

I agree with a PP I wouldn't buy from Shein.

As a style/colour it's very pretty.

I don't like the dress myself (the top and bottom seems mismatched), but there's not 'wedding offence' bring committed here.
My only reservation would be that it's from Shein, so reserve judgement until it arrives and have a back up plan

Wasn't aware of this about shein.

I like the colours, style and look of it from the photos.

But think it will look cheap and shit in real life cos its from Shein (and that's quite apart from any ethical concerns about the company)

I think it's lovely- but honestly I don't see how it could be nice for that price. The skirt needs to be full and twirly- I reckon for 20 quid it'll be flimsy and skimpy.

Have you actually got it? What they say it looks like and what turns up can often be chalk and cheese.

It looks nice in the photo but it’s a lot of dress for £20 so I imagine it might look very different in the flesh

It arrived yesterday and not as bright as the picture which was good as my mum was worried it would be a bit too ooo look at me. The quality isn't bad either. Wedding is in April so may need a shawl yo keep warm too.

Like the dress but agree with others not to shop at Shein.

Would avoid Shein purely for their ethics as pointed out in the article posted previously. Plus it’ll look nothing like that in real life.

In itself. - fine

but at the price… will be APPALLING quality and it will be that feature of it that gets attention!

An April wedding? You are very organised!

April? As in April in NINE months?! Blimey, that’s some serious planning OP!

It's a wedding of people I don't really give a shit about as they aren't nice to me but have to go as family.
I could have been a right bitch and done all black like she did for our wedding but that's another thread.

Have you got a photo of the actual dress? Now it's arrived?

This. It’ll look crap from Shein.

Here it is on me.

Crikey - you’re organised if you’re buying now for an event in 10 months!

It’s absolutely fine for a wedding but given the amount of time you have, why not look at some other options? I know you’ve said it looks/feels ok for the money, but honestly it’s likely to read as a bit cheap - the fabric and fit from Shein is always shonky.

But more importantly, as others have said, this company is ethically one of the worst you can possibly buy from - they’re bottom of the table against every single metric for fast fashion, they’re destroying the planet and their labour practices are just awful. By comparison somewhere like Primark, which is the same price point, has really upped its game in recent years.

Why don’t you repost in S&B with a max budget - the fashion vipers will find you something great in no time.

PS it does look nice on you btw, but please don’t support Shein!

And yet you’re giving their wedding all this brain space - NINE mo the before the actual day
