Can I wear this Satin Dress to a Wedding. Husband says no. I feel stunning in it, and think it is ok to wear.

Opinion needed. I got gifted this dress for Christmas it's a bit tight as it is my pre baby size, but it somehow makes me look smaller than I am.

It is cinched on my waist and then flows into a fitted skirt. I feel confident in it. I feel like me again. I have been desperate to wear it since I got it but we never go out.

It's my husband's best friend's wedding in February. He is one of the best men. I am not in the wedding so I wont be in any of the pictures or anything like that.

Husband isn't happy about me wearing it. Is it reasonable to wear it? I never go out and I think we will be having another baby by the end of the year so I wont get another chance to wear this beautiful dress. I also dont want to go out and buy another dress when I have been gifted this one and it is sitting in my wardrobe.

It is white at the bottom but clearly with the black lace top it is not a wedding dress. Be honest please.

Fine, wear it and come back and report on the reactions. It will be a fun thread for us 😂😂😂

Bad idea. You’d be putting her on the spot which isn’t fair - might not get an accurate answer. Plus even if the bride herself is genuinely ok with it, surely the OP doesn’t want the other guests thinking she’s trying to upstage the bride, and would rather wear something less likely to raise eyebrows.

It's a gorgeous dress but not appropriate for a wedding. And I'm sure you look stunning and it's a real confidence boost.

i know you don't want to leave baby - but as you're dong it for a wedding, can you wear the dress and get glammed up and go to a high end cocktail bar for an hour or so?

Completely inappropriate for a wedding, and especially a February wedding. Also not classy at all. Plus horrendously uncomfortable- you will have to spend more or less a whole day in it! Eat dinner! And dance! You’ll have creases in the skirt and boobs akimber.

I’ve been to some high profile weddings but have never seen someone wearing something like this.

Plus you don’t know the bride so even more iffy! I wouldn’t use this wedding as a chance to build your confidence- get your DH to take you to an evening function or a ball, or even cocktails instead and wear it for that.

I don’t know why you’d listen to the opinions of strangers on the internet over your own DH.

If he wanted to wear shorts and white trainers and you told him you don’t think it’s a good idea, would you not hope he’d listen to your advice.

It's an advertising thread for the dress

Absolutely not

Ha!

OP, I’m not sure why you asked when you’re just arguing back with everyone who says no.

This dress is for a red carpet event, a gala dinner, a ball. It is not a wedding guest outfit, they are simply different things.

Im not sure why you’re so insistent on wearing it.. Yes you love it, but a brides wedding isn’t there just to give you an opportunity to wear a glamorous dress you want to be seen in. It’s about the bride.

It’s not usual to wear dresses that are so glamorous/sexy they might draw attention away from a bride on her wedding day. Nor is it usual to wear white. If you look at photos and videos from any wedding you will see that the bride stands out because she’s the only one in that colour - wherever she goes you can see her. That effect is spoiled if other people are wearing white dresses too.

If someone wore that to my wedding I'd think 'wow they look sexy good for them!'

White skirt I don't think is an issue as it's paired with black top

You obviously have a great figure to feel good in this dress. I do wonder if there is a bit of jealousy in these responses.

Maybe just wear a bin bag so everyone is happy

I think your age matters. If you'd asked me last year, I'd have said no but that's because I'm 40 and im in the world where none of my female friends would consider it appropriate.

But the last wedding I went to, the teens and 20s girls were wearing exactly this sort of thing: form fitting, plunging, high leg slits... often all at once!

So I think your age, the age demographic of the wedding, and the brides reaction are key.

Definitely not suitable for a wedding.

No. Too revealing and too much white.

You don't dress like you're trying to upstage the bride.

Why don't you ask your mother in law for the receipt and see if you can exchange it?

I love it! Tbh I would have said the aesthetic was too evening-y for daytime, but I see you've said others will be wearing the same style so I think you're fine, personally. Wear it and enjoy it!

Some people are absurdly conservative about what you can and can't wear to a wedding. As if this is ever going to be mistaken for a wedding dress just because the skirt is white! 🙄Provided you're not dressed in something that would upset the bride, you're good as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't even tell you what the women were wearing at my wedding.

You’d be the talk of the wash house.

So long as it's not a white bin bag. Because, y'know, that might be upstaging the bride.

But because they're not dressed in wedding clothes, it's patently obvious who is getting married and who isn't. That's why I've never understood the froth over this.

Looks lovely - go for it! 👍🙂

If someone wore that to my wedding I'd wonder why they had chosen to wear am evening gown to a wedding as it's just an odd choice and hope they didn't feel embarrassed looking so out of place.

I wouldn't be offended by the white skirt or think that mattered but I would think they looked pretty tacky with the extreme low cut top. I'd be embarrassed on their behalf rather than annoyed about it but if they weren't embarrassed then all fine

No. Just NO!

Far too much flesh on show.

It's upstaging the bride.

Save it for a special occasion of your own.

No because of the cream skirt.

Zero jealousy from me, hun. Jealous of what, exactly? She asked if it was a suitable dress to wear at a wedding. The resounding answer is "no" it certainly isn't. It's totally inappropriate and it would show a real lack of class if she does wear it. Up to her, though.

No!!!
The bride will be on here afterwards bitching about you!

OP if you’re friends with the bride could you message her and ask? Send a photo and a “was thinking of wearing this to the wedding just checking that it doesn’t clash with bridesmaids etc?” or something along those lines.

Absolutely not!
