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.

I don't think you can compare a 'celebrity' wedding populated by tall very slim people with a size 14 recently post partum woman squeezing herself into a size 8 black and white satin and lace dress. If OP is wanting to look glamorous like her friend, it would be better achieved by a dress in the right size, whatever style it might be.
(Sizes from one of the many other posts she has made about this dress).

They mostly look ridiculous.

It’s not suitable for a wedding. It’s an evening dress.

If you feel good in it and want to wear it, then wear it. You can put a pretty shawl/pashmina on etc. I would not feel upset if anyone wore this to my wedding.

Or say to your husband if he doesn’t want you wearing it to the wedding then he has to take you out somewhere special so you can wear it and buy you another dress for the wedding!

I was about to suggest that you get your DH to arrange to take you out somewhere suitable for a special occasion where you can wear that dress and he can dress up to your level at the same time. Leave it till later in the year when you are feeling more confident about leaving your little one behind for the evening.

No. It's not wedding attire.

😅😂 I can actually imagine the Mumsnet response to Tana Ramsay (gold lace dress) and Victoria Beckham if they'd been daft enough to post here!

To Tana: Why are you dressing as a bride? Do you want everyone to hate you? You're making the wedding all about you!

To Victoria: You're the mother of the groom, show some respect. How do you think your son's going to feel about his mum showing up for his big day in her underwear?!

Both would be shown more suitable high-necked polyester outfits in desaturated pastels or navy, with obligatory floral prints and 'figure-skimming' straight skirts that remove any sense of a female body while flattering your slim waist.

I bet they're sorry they looked so stunning beautiful memorable ridiculous!

It's ok if you're flat chested. the top is a bit risky.
And it's not suitable for a wedding

It's all the tight satin. It's just weird turning up to a wedding in something that's a cross between an evening dress and underwear. They do all look ridiculous to me.

Love it. I'm maybe-ing. Church: no, fashiony one: yes. I have been to weddings lately where this would have been fine. But equally, ones where it wouldn't... so that doesn't help!

Not very weddingy. But if you want huge hips to be highlighted then go for it.

Not very pleasant. Huge hips? OP said she’s a size 14.

Too white, if it was another colour it would be ok (jacket to cover in church).

Op if you want to wear it go for it. You should not have to ask strangers it might not be typical wedding outfit but we all have our own fashion preferences and it makes you feel good. I wouldn’t wear it but I’m not you and you’re not me.

Hmmm, isn't the key word here "celebrity"?

Do you think this is a vendor trying to sell clothes under the disguise of a fashion advice?

Massive no!

Can't you ask the bride?

I'm not being 'unpleasant'! It's nothing to do with her size, the design emphasises the hips! Have you looked at the pictures? Maybe OP is a size 14 with small hips, in whch case it would be ok.

These sort of posts make me realise that I’m really not very “mumsnet”. All I could think was, £127 for that?! 😂

anyway. No, it’s definitely not something to wear to a wedding. I can’t think where you’d want to wear it tbh.

@Whataninterestinglookingpotato if I had a body that suited that dress, and a relationship within which this could happen, I would definitely want to wear it as follows:

I would check into an extremely expensive hotel, where I would have a bath in a tub almost big enough to swim in, then get dressed into this dress and do everything I wished in order to present myself at my very best. I would go down to the hotel lobby where the concierge would help me into a waiting limo in which my beloved would be there, dressed in the smartest white-tie formality (he would have had a separate hotel room to get ready in) ready to hand me a glass of champagne to enjoy while we were conveyed to a multi-michelin-starred restaurant where we would enjoy a 7 course tasting-menu meal (one of the ones where each course is a single exquisite mouthful so you don't actually eat much) and the restaurant would have live musicians who, at a nod from said beloved (who would be the kind of person who'd do this, in this fantasy) would strike up a tango and we would dance together with such beauty and passion as to astonish our fellow diners, then we'd get back in the limo and return to the hotel and make love during which the dress would sadly be so ruined as to never be worn again. But oh the memory would be mine for ever.

Wouldn't happen though. I don't have the right body shape and don't own any dresses, and cannot dance a tango.

Yes for me it's the white skirt that pushes it to a no for sure. I'm sure you will have another occasion to wear it one day.

If the only problem is the white skirt, could you get a chiffon over skirt for it? A shimmery drape of soft colour, would keep the glam feel but stop it looking bridal.

Your DH is a good barometer- totally unsuitable for several aspects of the dress.

No it shows too much flesh at top and too much white for a wedding sorry
