To wear this dress to a wedding?

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.

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

That ship has sailed

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.

Thank you, I had no idea about the ethical issues with shein.

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

I just saw the dress and thought it was nice either way wedding or not and got it.

Just right for a wedding, dressy but cheerful. You look great in it.

I think it looks better on you than in the advert

Skirt part looks lovely, top part a little unstructured and informal. Not sure what fabric the top is from but would just be wary of it being a bit see-thru or bobbly after a few washes if it’s jersey.

Yes it’s lovely, appropriate and easily will be used again 👍

IHadTheLasagne · 01/07/2023 11:34

It looks lovely on you!

Bloodyleaverspartybollocks · 01/07/2023 17:46

It's really pretty.

I find Shein dresses are excellent. Never had an issue with quality or them not looking like the pictures.
I'd wear it to wedding

Ignoring where it was from, I think it looks great and better on you than it did on the website. I'd happily wear it to a wedding (and not have to worry about spilling wine on it etc!)

Please don't buy from SHEIN. Cheap fast fashion that's destroying our planet.
