Appropriate wedding attire?

[Pomtoo]

I know it takes a while for pictures to show up because they need to be approved, but when it does…
Do we think it would be OK to wear this dress to a wedding (as a guest - brother getting married)?
TIA

After the initial feelings of being annoyed, offended, and hurt had (slightly) faded… I’d take comfort in the fact that everyone else is going to think she’s seriously weird or nasty for showing up in that.

What I said in my OP was
Do we think it would be OK to wear this dress to a wedding (as a guest - brother getting married)?
So didn’t ever claim to be the one wearing the dress. I just chose to write it that way. Hope that satisfies your interest sufficiently. Have a fun day solving other such thrilling mysteries @Squarestones

Your posts really don't come across as funny or witty as you clearly think they do, OP.

Your SIL doesn't like you much does she?

Thanks for your feedback 👍

You are obviously rightly v annoyed about this op and I think most people on seeing the picture of the dress would say that is not an appropriate guest dress to wear to a wedding. It is far too close to bridal wear.

However you're channeling your anger at people responding to your posts which isn't really that helpful.

Can you speak to your SIL? Or do you not have that type of relationship? Clearly something isn't being communicated if she thinks that this was an appropriate dress to wear. What about your new DH? Can he speak to his sister? I'm presuming he also found it inappropriate? If not, why not? You kind of need him onside with this as you are his wife. If the MIL isn't addressing it with her daughter and DH isn't addressing it then as well as a SIL problem you also have a DH and MIL problem.

Can’t stand a reverse. Especially an obvious one.

Thank you yes, you have sufficiently distracted me from my dull chores both with your post and your explanation which is also a reminder to carefully read the OP even when skimmih Mumsnet to avoid chores.

Congrats on your wedding, sorry your SIL was annoying.

It only reflects badly on your sister in law tho so I wouldn’t get too worked up about it.

what did SIL say when people at the venue mistook her for the bride - was she mortified or not bothered. That should tell you all you need to know.

Ohh, love her 😂

It looks gold. Is it gold or white? It’s still a bit too ‘white-looking’ I guess

Bloody hell. I thought, no-one, absolutely no one would wear that as a guest😱.
Your sil has issues 😂

That sounds really weird. Why would mil want it to look like her kids are in an incestuous relationship?

I am loving spotting other Schitts Creek fans! @Pomtoo she did that purposely to upstage you. Whereas at least Alexis Rose was too innocent to realise...

Did your DH say anything and if not why not!
Having said that I know someone who turned up for their daughters wedding in a full lenght white sequin dress showing ample cleavage. Definitely wanted to be the star turn!
Is your SIL married...if not, when she does, perhaps you could return the favour!

So what was the reaction of the other wedding guests? Because surely that sparked some gossip about how SIL and you don't get on?! It's a really strange thing to wear to any wedding unless you're the bride, but a very weird to your brother's wedding.

Just corrected them in an indifferent manner, just “no, it’s my brother’s wedding.”

DH didn’t notice, it was only when I said “Why is your sister wearing a dress like that? Have you heard how many people have mistaken her as the bride?” He didn’t know about the ‘don’t wear white to someone else’s wedding’ rule so suggested maybe she didn’t either. FFS.
Yes she already married - doh!

I didn’t say anything, she didn’t spoil my day, I mean I did walk out and see her and think “WTF is she wearing?!” but I didn’t let it spoil my day. If she did do it to piss me off then she didn’t get the reaction she might’ve been hoping for. But I can’t see that anyone in their right mind wouldn’t realise that that’s not really appropriate to be wearing as a guest at someone else’s wedding.

I’m going to have to watch out for this one aren’t I?!

Ohh it’s a lovely dress. I didn’t know about the not-wearing-white thing until I joined Mumsnet. It is quite wedding’y. If it was a destination somewhere hot it might look ok. TBH I wouldn’t really care but I wouldn’t wear it myself.

Yeah, she totally did that on purpose but in doing so she’s just made a bit of a twat of herself. You’re doing the right thing by ignoring it completely but I’d keep an eye on her.

Yeah, sure why not? 🙄
