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.

Weddings just aren’t the place for making yourself feel good by wearing a revealing outfit with a white satin skirt. You’re there in the capacity of a supporting role to the happy couple, and your outfit should reflect that.

Why not find/create another occasion to wear the dress? It is lovely.

I'd only looked at the front of the dress but now I've seen the back it's a no from me.

As another PP has suggested, ask MIL to have baby overnight and go somewhere special, stay overnight, feel yourself again

No, it's no good for a wedding that one pet. If it looks amazing on you then use it as a template for something similar (e.g. satin skirt but in a different colour; similarly fitted, darker top part) and wear that instead.

The anti-social repercussions of wearing the white and black one to a wedding would cancel out the 'looking amazing' credits.

Yes with a cardigan.

Also a no from me. Far too revealing for a wedding.

No, it’s too low cut. Also, you’ve said it doesn’t fit you, so despite it emphasising your figure, it will probably make the dress look trashy and tight to other people.

Not suitable at all. You'd be embarrassed afterwards.

Come on now op

I was married 30 years ago and to this day people still mention 'her that wore the white dress' 😂😂

I was thinking perhaps a burqa?

I don’t thinks it’s ever been wedding etiquette that every straight man at a wedding must be thinking about how much he’d like to shag the bride. Not even in the 1950s

If you want the vibe to be “prostitute on a fag break” by all means.

I think your circle is perhaps quite unique in their views on what's appropriate. I'm glad you are taking on board the feedback.

Black and white are both unsuitable colours for a wedding and revealing outfits are unsuitable for any wedding, but particularly a February wedding.

At best you will look like an embarrassing fashion victim. At worst you will look like an exhibitionist with no sense of occasion.

No, but negotiate with your dh to go out somewhere fancy where you can wear if before you get pregnant again!

Bot post to push traffic to the website? The dress is weird and tacky.

Agree.

If your intention is to take away the attention of the bride, you’ve certainly picked the dress to do it 😱

I am flabbergasted that a MIL would buy their DIL a dress like this, it boggles my mind 🤣

No, not suitable for a wedding I’m afraid! Black tie event, sure. Get your DH to take you somewhere you can wear it.

I wouldn’t wear a cardigan to a wedding either…

lovely dress for a sexy gala, too fleshy and white for a wedding. Ultimately you want the attention on the bride and groom,not on your cleavage.

It's certainly an unusual choice of a gift. Especially not the right size...

No, don't wear it to the wedding.
I don't even think it looks good on the model, because the proportions are all wrong.
However, if you like it and it makes you feel good, go out somewhere special with your DH before you get pregnant again, and wear it then, as pp have said.

Yes all men are incompetent 🙄

Oh come on, that's not what she said and you know it. She said men are not generally hugely switched on regarding women's wedding guest outfits. Are you contesting?

No.
