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.

In February you’re going to be wearing layers over the top for most of the day so don’t you worry that you’ll just look like a nutter who turned up in their wedding dress?

No, but I'm sure you can find something else as you must have an amazing figure to look good in that.

Exactly. Putting the colour aside, the open back & plunging neckline might, just might, work in mid summer but in February that style will be lost with layers on top or will bring out goosebumps all over ruining the effect.

I Would wear a jacket with it probably you would want to anyway as it is February. I think it’s a bit too exposing otherwise. Set up a smart date night with your husband and wear it for that!

I don’t see a problem with it, especially if it’s a glam wedding. Someone mentioned date night attire 🤣 not sure what kind of dates you go on!!!

There’s no point in you arguing with people who say it’s not suitable. You’re the only one who has a good idea of what other guests will be wearing, but the fact that you asked about the dress here shows you’re not really confident that it’s appropriate.

Ask kind MIL to babysit, and arrange a posh evening out with your DH to somewhere glamorous, where you could wear it.

Fascinating!

My tuppence worth: feeling stunning/confident in something isn't a good enough reason to wear this. It's a wedding, where there are unwritten dress codes.

Save the feeling stunning for another time. You can get a weddingy outfit on Vinted which will look great and suitable, if money is tight. The occasion isn't about personal wellbeing.

I work in the wedding industry and think YES wear the glam dress to the glam wedding. You're not in a country church. You will look stunning! Mnetters are always weird about wedding attire etiquette IMHO, forgetting that the industry has changed soo much and the old rules simply don't apply to a lot of today's weddings.

God no!

I also agree with everyone who has said it looks oddly-proportioned and cheaper than it is.

I don't actually see the problem with this dress for a non church wedding. It's not really vibing wedding dress is it? If you know that many of the guests will be glam in satin type dresses and lots of skin rather than silk crepe with a matching jacket and hat then go ahead.

Don't care about the white but you'll catch your death at a February wedding

I came here to say wear whatever you want, but I can see that’s a controversial statement.
I think it depends on the Bride, you could wear it to my wedding, but probably not most people here in your comments 😂

Loads of men have eyes and a brain.

It’s a very ‘ look at me ‘ dress and whilst I’m sure it is beautiful on you it is so unbelievably unsuitable for a wedding. I can’t believe you even think it’s remotely appropriate.

Why?! They’d surely be able to say “it looks a bit bridal” or “it shows too much flesh” or “it’s maybe more formal than the event”?! These are reasonable things I can imagine loads of men with eyes and a brain being able to say. It doesn’t require a degree in fashion or a keen interest in wedding guest etiquette.

Well then we obviously disagree. Either way, I wasn’t calling all men incompetent, because that’s neither my belief, nor my experience.

No, you can't wear that to a wedding

Are you always this dramatic?

Yes ☺️

Too ‘me me me’ and exposing for a wedding but would be proper gorgeous for a date.

Wowsers! No way!

Completely agree with your husband and the vast majority of posters here.

The deep low plunge, low back, solid white skirt giving bridal vibes. It is a showstopping dress, but it isn't right for wedding guest attire!

Pictorial evidence: Guests at recent celebrity weddings.

I would suggest those dresses are somewhat classier. And the dress in question is, apparently, marketed as a wedding dress.
