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.

But the OP says it's tight on her - tight satin??

No. Gorgeous dress. It too much white for wedding and too revealing.

But the design is skin tight satin. Even in larger sizes the cut is the same.

A nightclub but not a wedding.

Go glamourous then.

Is it a celebrity/Instagrammer or 'influencer' wedding - they usually go trashy and over the top but everyone expects that.

Anyway, you asked and 94% said not suitable for a wedding but you still insist. So why ask, just wear it then if you want to.

Absolutely not appropriate for a wedding!! BUT… allow him to think you’ve given in… providing he takes you on a date night where you can wear the dress!!

I wonder how many extra clicks that website had had since this thread was started. Great marketing trick.

I don't think it should be worn to the wedding.
Fashion is subjective and whilst I really dislike it I get that it make you feel great so that's good too. I would get your husband to take you somewhere so that you can wear it.

Indeed, I thought it was a quite poorly disguised bit of advertising, but it's managed to stretch to five pages!

So the bride is your best friend, she's very glamorous in general and she's the only person whose opinion actually matters, so wild idea, ask her! If she really is your best friend, she'll be comfortable enough to be honest in her response, problem solved!

A man turned up at my friend's wedding wearing light washed loose jeans and believe me, there were looks and mutters! 😂

My thoughts exactly . The wording of the post is odd like maybe Ai.

My arse would look like a lunar eclipse in that (very white, very fitted) dress. I think it would only work on a gamine teenager, and even then, absolutely not at a wedding.

I did see a guest wear a similar dress to a wedding once. She was a friend of the groom, we all knew she hated the bride and she successfully (and vindictively) fucked up all the photos - formal and otherwise - as “Bride 2” while grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Unless you’re also that much of a mean girl, don’t do it.

You know it isn't suitable for a wedding so don't try and justify it.

@MegsyLondon not rtft but have seen your posts.

If the white skirt is causing the issue with DH, could you dye / paint it to give it more colour? You could do it easily with fabric paints (even food colouring!) to make a kind of watercolour ombré effect, and then add a throw in one of the colours if you wanted to cover up on top for any part of the event.

I’d practice on a tea towel first and then go for it, assuming your MIL won’t mind?

Yes, that would look stunning!

I can't believe this thread is still here and still going

Afraid not OP - it is a beautiful dress and brilliant that you feel brilliant in it, but not appropriate for a wedding - too much on show, too much white (and to be honest black is somewhat frowned upon too for wedding guests). Even if the dress code is evening wear (most UK weddings the dress code is traditionally day wear - albeit fully appreciate that’s entirely the bride and groom’s choice!) I still think the amount of white and the sexiness of it mean it would be a bit too attention grabbing. Whatever style of wedding / dress code, I don’t think it’s polite to wear something that could potentially upstage the bride somehow even if entirely unintentional.

I want to say yes but would check with a mutual friend - or even the bride herself if you are friends. Someone who actually knows what the bride would think rather than an opinionated random like me

Its February so you'll need a layer over the top (non-white jacket or woolly jumper) which will resolve the too much skin on show issue

No it’s white and revealing. The day is about the bride!

It's horrible and looks like a nightie 😂

It's a beautiful dress but too much white . Don't wear it.

It looks a bit cheap & vulgar: trying too hard. The bodice looks a bit like the underwear you see in the window of Anne Summers.

If you want bias cut, elegant satin, look at Ghost.

That's not suitable for a wedding. If your breasts are any bigger than the model it will be way too much exposure for a wedding. Even without it being revealing I'd say it's too much for a guest, too much white and the shape/length of the skirt is more bridal party than guest. Get your DH to arrange an evening out for you to wear it.
