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.

Something like this would be much more appropriate for a February wedding, imo.

I wouldn't. For a start there's a lot of white which people often think is a no for a wedding. Secondly the top is not suitable as day wear. Thirdly, it doesn't fit you, and the absolute last thing you want with a dress with a top like that is for it to look too tight.
Its a beautiful dress, but unless you're OK with attracting a lot of attention (not all of which will be positive) id give it a swerve for the wedding and arrange another occasion (evening) to do it justice.

No there's too much white and too much boob.

It's such a shame about the white skirt, it sounds like it will be very glamorous and this dress, apart from the white would have been perfect.

I’m going to throw a spanner in the works and say YES!!

It’s a beautiful dress and, more importantly, makes you feel beautiful.
Yes, white at a wedding on anyone other than the bride is traditionally a no-no, but you have stated this not out of the norm for previous weddings you have attended.
I know I have certainly been to plenty weddings and at-least one person, at each wedding, has had a partially white dress. I have never heard any one comment or a bride complain that their day was ruined or it wasn’t okay.
It will be February, I’m sure you will probably drape something over your shoulders for some warmth, as long as that’s not white then wear the damn dress, be confident and have a marvellous night OP!

Not very often this gets said on Mumsnet. But your husband is right.

you don’t wear white/cream to a wedding. Especially in a style that might be a wedding dress (even if you do have a black top).

I don’t see the issue - I like it.

No, you shouldn't wear it but if you absolutely must you should run it past the bride.

Try it on, hide your face, take a pic and we'll tell you honestly if it's right for you, not to mind the wedding!

It’s not a great dress anyway tbh. The weird downward curve of the hemline of the black ‘top’ makes the white ‘skirt’ section look so very round on the middle / hips, so the reverse of how us women generally want to look (cinched at the middle). If it was a slightly looser satin slip style dress with lace trim just skimming the body (Zara had some lovely ones), in less stark colours, that would be more acceptable, but maybe with an oversized blazer or shawl draped around your shoulders ?

If you have to ask you know it is not appropriate. I used to be a wedding coordinator and have been to hundreds of weddings and this dress is a flat out NO. It looks very attention seeking for someone else's wedding. Buy another dress.

Totally depends on age though? I feel like this outfit would look frumpy unless the guess is an older lady?

The dress is beautiful tbh- not understanding the ‘too much flesh’ comments. It’s a wedding not a funeral and what’s the issue with skin?
I bet you look incredible OP but I’d err on the side of caution and see if you can get a different colour

No!!! It is too white for wedding! Wearing white is a big no no unless bride said it is okay.

Definite no. I would have been really upset if a guest wore this to my wedding. Book a swish date night OP!

Goodness, calm down everyone, who knew women had autonomy or we even had the vote. F**k it, if you want to wear it, do so!

It looks too much like a sexy nightie to be appropriate for a wedding. Would your MIL be upset if you asked to swap it for something more wedding appropriate? Perhaps you could go shopping together and she could help you choose something? I don't know if that something you'd feel comfortable with, or if it's even something you want to do, but I really don't think you can wear this to a wedding. If you're absolutely determined, why not ask the bride how she'd feel about you wearing it? But also, make sure you use loooooots of tit-tape if you ever do decide to leave the house in it!

If the bride is your friend, why don't you send her a photo of the dress and ask her?

I agree with your husband. Nice dress, just not for a wedding. It’s showing too much off and there is too much white.

Sorry, not wedding appropriate but do insist on a fabulous night out to do it justice

You're actually suggesting it looks like something a prostitute would wear? Bloody hell.

And isn't it depressing that it's women tearing down other women over this stuff. 😟

I think it looks cheap & tacky tbh. And if the wedding is during the daytime it will definitely look shiny & cheap.

If you have the figure for a dress like this you could definitely find something more classy and flattering to wear.

not for a wedding , can’t think of anywhere you could wear this

I think it is entirely appropriate for the wedding you have described. If you have any doubts run it by the bride. I hope you get to wear this dress & feel a million dollars.
