Is this dress a bit “much” for a wedding?

Dress code for the wedding is cocktail/black tie. I think it suits me (size 10/decent boobs). SIL thinks it’s great. MIL asked if I would be comfortable. DP said it’s very “different”.

YABU - it’s not appropriate
YANBU - wear it

It’s arrived! What do we think? Better? It’s still a bit “hello, these are my boobs”

I love it ❤️

Keep, keep, keep.

I really liked the first dress on you so this new one is boring imo. But it's a safer option.

EC22 · 16/07/2024 21:22

It’s too ‘look at me’ for a wedding. Fine for a party.

EC22 · 16/07/2024 21:26

New dress is better.

sleepercellspy · 16/07/2024 21:28

@Northerngirl345 new dress looks gorgeous. I love the original dress though so really hope you find somewhere amazing to wear it.

NotThroughChoice · 16/07/2024 21:32

Love both of them. The new dress is made for you. Fit is everything 😍😍😍

My dd 21yrs) wore that in navy to a wedding- she looked fabulous and got lots of compliments!

Thewaytogohome · 16/07/2024 21:55

Is it a bit big on you? Could you size down or get it taken in on top?

DBD1975 · 16/07/2024 23:08

Perfect, you look absolutely amazing.

It actually doesn't look dressy enough to me... Sorry. I have a dress like that which I wear to the beach. And it's very black for a wedding.

Hmm I don’t think the dress is as nice as it looked online. Out of the two, I prefer your first one!

Bluebirdover · 17/07/2024 01:00

Original dress for me!

PossumintheHouse · 17/07/2024 02:27

The second dress looks elegant, it's gorgeous. Definitely suited to the theme.

NextFriYAY · 17/07/2024 05:21

Second looks incredible on you.

Peclet · 17/07/2024 06:42

second dress is beautiful

VenusClapTrap · 17/07/2024 08:20

Second dress is ok but I prefer the first one.

kittycloud · 19/07/2024 16:48

It's gorgeous but it's a bit much and could upstage the bride a bit.

kittycloud · 19/07/2024 16:54

Just saw the second drrss- it looks beautiful without being OTT - I think you should go for the second dress ❤️

spriots · 19/07/2024 17:30

New dress looks lovely but I do think a more interesting colour would be better - e.g. dark red or emerald green. It's a beautiful cut and fit though

I’ve just tried this dress on - also have a black tie wedding soon.

I know I was the one who suggested it but we can both do so much better. Your original dress is a thousand times better.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Not sure it’s “the one” but it’ll be nice for an evening out. What did it look like on you?

The first one is miles nicer! Just wear it

So it definitely showed off my boobs! But the dress was dark and the bottom half just felt huge and like it was hanging off me. Not as smooth and structured like the photo. Sort of like an old school ball gown, if that makes sense, but midi length. Would have needed a lot of glamming up with hair, makeup and accessories.

Just browsing rentals and the first dress is on there for “wedding guest”
