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

[MegsyLondon]

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. If you tripped, you may spill more than your drink.

Definitely not

if someone wore this to my wedding , I would genuinely tell them to leave

Absolutely not, far, far too attention grabbing. You will look like you're trying to steal the spotlight off the bride. It wouldn't surprise me if someone "accidentally" spilled red wine on it.

It's a gorgeous dress. I absolutely love it. What a lovely MIL you have. It's not really suitable for a wedding in the traditional sense though but it really depends on the bride and grooms social circle. It might be a really glam affair. Could you maybe find out what any of the other female guests will wearing?

Honestly? Ask the bride.

It's a breathtaking dress, and you are fortunate to be able to wear it so well. I wanted to say Yes, especially because of all you've said about being baby-bound and feeling like yourself for a change.

One woman wore full-length white to my wedding. I did mind because I suspected her motives! The women in all black and/or cutaway numbers, I didn't mind at all as I'd explicitly asked guests to wear what made them feel good. They all looked ace. The only one I felt for was my poor Mum, who'd completely squashed her very distinct style to dress as a MOB and seemed uncomfortable.

It's not a normal wedding guest dress - white and black are conventionally disapproved, and it is a tad lingerie reminiscent. It's as glamorous as all hell, though, and if your glam bride says yes, I want glam guests like this, then go for it!

It’s got to be stealth advertising. I’ve seen this linked on three different threads now, including ‘who got the worst Christmas present?’

It’s size 8, you’re currently size 14, but it’s just a little bit tight, so you could wear it out within, what? five weeks? to drop three dress sizes.

It’s supposed to be for your wedding anniversary next year? But now you’re thinking of wearing it to someone else’s wedding?

Anyway. No. Not suitable, for all the obvious reasons.

Yes, some are particularly OTT. I'm going to a wedding in the summer and I won't wear white but this isn't all white and so if the vibe is like that then why not.

Are you serious? You’d care more about what someone was wearing than sharing your wedding day with them? And if so, why - because of the photos? Says an awful lot about your priorities if so.

100% absolutely not suitable!!

You can try to justify it and stand on your head as much as you like, the dress is completely inappropriate for a wedding.

Go and find something suitable unless you want to be the least popular guest at the wedding. You'll be the talk of the steamie and noone wants that!

I'd say no to wearing it to the wedding, but id also ask my husband to take me on a date somewhere where I COULD wear it.

Get your husband to take you out to a really fancy place for dinner and wear it. but not for a wedding

It’s odd to say it’s odd to get a dress like that as a gift.
it’s a pretty dress, what’s so weird about that as a present??

Seriously?

I am baffled every time one of these threads pop up, because surely you as the bride will get the attention.

Absolutely bloody not! It’s the big block of white on a long dress rather than the design for me. If you have to ask you know deep down it’s not appropriate. If you want to have any relationship with the husbands best mates wife going forward don’t wear this.

My son got married last year, the bride requested nobody wear a champagne colour (that's what the bridesmaids wore) or white. I was told something like a white dress with lots of pink flowers would still be out of the question. If white was used in the dress description, then it's too white.

It didn't matter to me as I was wearing a different colour anyway, but at my own wedding, my aunt turned up in a dress almost exactly like what the bridesmaids wore. I couldn't have cared less, but she was embarrassed all day. I really felt for her, so I also agree with getting a heads up on the bridesmaid's dress colour.

It's a lovely dress, but it's not for a wedding. Your MIL has great taste.

Oh dear
it’s very “look at meeeee “
I would assume you’re very attention seeking and trying to upstage the bride by showing up half naked

Nice dress, wrong event.

White skirt isn’t an issue, the level of coverage I don’t feel is appropriate for a wedding.

equally if you look as great as the model, go for it and maybe take a shawl or something if you feel uncomfortable/naked on the day.

I voted YABU but if you’re sure that this is the type of wedding where all guests are wearing this type of dress then I guess it’s ok. You need to be sure, though! Normally, this dress would definitely not be suitable for a wedding. Remember the day is about the bride, not you.

It's a hard no for me. Find something else that makes you feel equally special, I'm sure you will look stunning

I agree that this is probably just stealth advertising and feel annoyed that I fell for it and clicked the link. I hope the company gets round to reading this thread to know what we really think about the dress.

If he's in the wedding party, he probably has steer from the bride and groom about what is appropriate.

Sadly i would agree with him. On the plus side it's an excuse for you and him to go on a very fancy date so you can give the dress an outing!
