To think this dress isn’t too sexy to wear to a wedding?

[Ginspirational]

SIL wedding in October, attending as a guest. Is this dress too sexy? Too bridesmaid-y?

I always go for bodycon dresses as that’s what I feel most comfortable in, I am size 10/12 and an hourglass body shape so not sure what else would suit my body type really, I find a lot of other dresses make me look huge/frumpy.

I agree with those who are saying the first dress looks a bit cheap and dated. This one is still figure hugging but much more elegant.

These are all lovely too.

No wedding attire to me, but I am decrepid!

And half price in the sal buy 2

I love the dress. And I’m old!

If you can’t find anything for over it, ask a Seamstress to add sleeves.

There choice to go under it as well if that’s what you want

I love the green! The colours of the other two are pretty awful.... you have a gorgeous figure OP.

@RampantIvy I think the brown colour makes it look frumpy, it doesn't look frumpy in green though. But i still think the op could find a more modern version of a body con dress. The dress gives off cheap Towie contestant vibes to me. The op said the venue was a post hotel so the dress doesn't match the wedding venue imo.

Get the green dress. It would look amazing with lashings of gold or even bronze jewelry.

Id go with this one. Its lovely.

I'm not known for my style or fashion but all the super stylish, slim women around me seem to be wearing very loose stuff ATM so I don't know if you'd feel a bit out of place in comparison to other guests? That may not bother you though, and more power to you if it doesn't.

Does the first style come in that gorgeous green colour? Pairing it with a long, loose, modern blazer (not like a sales assistant fitted blazer, a more relaxed fit) could look amazing with your figure.

But again, I know feck all.

Also I've been a size 10/12 hourglass shape back in the day - sure as hell didn't look like that, no fair!

Not these colours, obviously, but this is the kind of thing I meant.

It is a no for me.

Not appropriate for a wedding and it looks very 'Kardashian' to me which I find vulgar.

Could you ask SIL?

Same here.

Yes it’s fine, if it’s a UK daytime winter wedding, put some sort of jacket over the top for day / or get a version with sleeves.

Then this is fine for the after party

Frumpy?? Lol 😆 it's the polar opposite of frumpy

Too much flesh on display imho.

I agree
The dictionary definition is:
drab, old-fashioned, and unattractive.

Haha thank you everyone - a variety of responses which these posts always seem to get anyway, it is of course subjective 😊 I have decided to go with the green, I think it’s a nice balance!

I am a new hourglass figure (used to be more bottom heavy, but got left with big boobs after pregnancy & weaning) and honestly the trick to not looking frumpy is to just have something that nips in at the waist. It doesn't have to be hourglass. It can even just nip in under the bust and be A line. You just need to be able to show some definition under your bust and between your hips.

I hope that helps. I had to throw out a load of loose tops that looked pretty with my small boobs but look frumpy on my new figure as they hang off big boobs, make you look bigger and then your hips go out, so you just look generally large rather than curvy.

People say hourglass figures can wear anything, but I honestly found it easier to dress small boobs.

Depends where the wedding is, if it’s a local registry office and bar afterwards I think it’s fine. If it’s a formal church and sit down 5 course wedding meal in a stately home then no, I don’t think it’s appropriate at all sorry.

Is it for an evening do? (Sorry if I've missed that).
If you like bodycon, then go for it.
It's a dated style, and silhouettes now are looser, but go for what you like.
You'll stand out, of course.

I love the green dress

I do think these dresses are a bit different from the ones you wore before, those look like very fitted tailored styles whereas this one is stretchy and clingy iyswim.

Honestly I think it’s borderline as a style for a traditional daytime wedding, due to the clinginess, but with a blazer or similar will be ok.

I would add to my comment that I think bodycon dresses were in about 10 years ago - so it's a bit of a dated look.

You could probably find something looser that nips in a bit as I described that is more "current". However in all honesty just wear what you feel comfortable in. You can look great without following the fashions tbh, so not sure if that matters to you. You also have a great figure

Unsuitable for a wedding unless tou put a jacket over
