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.

No. As pp have said too exposing for a wedding & long white skirt is not good for a wedding either.

If you do go ahead and wear that, you will likely have red wine spilled on you.

What a weird gift from your MIL.

If you think its the sort of dress alot of guests will be wearing maybe ask the MoH her opinion. She's closest to the bride so hopefully will have a good idea of what she'd care about or not. :)

Mine gave me a nice book about gardening. I'd have been gobsmacked to open a wedding dress 😂

The dress isn’t suitable tor a wedding. I have been to all sorts of weddings over the years and never once, no matter how glamorous the wedding have I ever seen anyone in a backless dress. The white skirt wouldn’t bother me though I am never a fan of a black/white colour combination in a dress.

I’m baffled why your MIL bought the dress for you in a size too small and in a style that’s not easy to wear. You say it’s too tight but yet are going to wear it. But you want to wear the dress, so wear it, you’re not really bothered by posters saying it’s not suitable.

You will have to put something over your shoulders to arrive and are going to look like the bride with a coat/shrug/cape over a wedding dress. If it were in a very warm country in summer maybe it wouldn't be such an issue but you can't arrive at a wedding just like that, even if you have a private driver.

"Did you forget we already got married, Betty? Or are you just trying?"

I would have enjoyed a nice gardening book.

No it’s not suitable for a wedding. I’m also not sure I like it. I don’t think it would be flattering around the waist for anyone with any bulk in that area. But lucky you if you look great in it! Not for a wedding though x

This is the kind of dress that will be talked about in years to come by the bride and her friends: ‘ do you remember that woman who turned up half naked yet also managed to be wearing half a wedding dress at the same time.’

It's awful!

No .. it's a beautiful dress but definitely not suitable for a wedding. Find somewhere posh and formal to wear it instead.

Screams attention seeking. It's the bride's day, you've had your wedding.

I mean... If you're super hot and the bride is super hotter and you wore something else over the top until the party then maybe... It's a bit wedding dressy tho

So your description sounded completely different 100% no and you absolutely cannot wear white!!

With the white skirt, my initial reaction is to say no, but why don’t you just ask the bride, OP? I think that’s the most respectful thing you can do, and then you either get to wear it and feel comfortable, or wear something else and avoid feeling awkward or self conscious.

Tell hubby you’ll wear something else if he plans a lovely date night for you to wear it. Win win!

He’s right I’m afraid! White satin is even worse than white in general. Plan a special night out to wear it. Bet it’s fabulous on you

No, white at the bottom like a wedding dress and far to revealing

Personally I think it’s awful. Makes the stomach look like it’s carrying twins. Nothing wrong with that but if you’re not pregnant then it’s an issue.

No, it will look like you’re trying to outshine the bride 😣

A hideous dress in my opinion and definitely not suitable for a wedding guest.

It's stunning and fine for a wedding. Not sure what all the nos are about 🙄 what's his reason?

Oh dear! It's a definite "no" from me, I'm afraid. To me, it looks too much like underwear - and far too revealing for a wedding guest.

It used to be common for women to get changed between wedding ceremony and evening reception. I remember my Mum doing this. Could you wear something else in the afternoon and change for the evening. Too much white for the ceremony but it’ll likely be darker in the evening and less noticeable. Gives you a chance to wear it this year.
