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.

Ask the bride and let her decide?

a mate of mine wore white to my wedding. I didn’t mind as she looked gorgeous.

I’ve been to weddings where the vibe was definitely hollywood-glam where that kind of dress would have been fine or encouraged.

Absolutely no for a wedding.

No. You’ll look daft and attention seeking wearing that to a wedding esp a Feb one.

Hope you get to wear it another night though! Valentines posh dinner ( somewhere warm?)

Absolutely not!
Far too much skin/side boob on show
Far too much white
It's a Feb wedding, you'll be cold nipples will be like hedgehogs noses and will take the other guests' eyes out

I mean, if you want to overshadow the bride, crack on but be prepared for comments!

I'm saying wear it but I would wear a blazer with it and loads of necklaces layered. Gorgeous dress. If you style it right I think would be gorgeous and when you are sat down only the top half will be visible

Also a no.

Also deeply curious who gifted this random garment to you, when it’s not particularly suited to your lifestyle. (No judgement there, unless you are a big red carpet event/cruise ship goer then it isn’t compatible with the majority!)

No, I don’t think you should wear it. It’s a nice dress but not for a wedding

Agree with others - it’s a glamorous cocktail party dress and will look very out of place at a wedding. And the colours are wrong for a wedding as well, which will make it doubly stand out (and not in a good way). Great dress for another occasion, but not for this one, I’m afraid…..

No you really can’t

No. It’s an evening wear dress not a wedding guest dress. It’s not even the colour though that doesn’t help. It’s the design and material. Agree it’s too attention grabbing.

NO.

@Citrusbergamia hedgehog noses made me laugh. Sorry op going to agree with the majority, too booby and white for a wedding.

EDIT: I dont know why it matters who gave it to me but my MIL gave it to me. She gets me a dress every year for Christmas usually from really beautiful independent brands that I could never afford for myself. Last year was tough for me having a baby I lost my confidence, so she said it was to make me feel good. It does make me feel like me again, which I havent in so long.

EDIT: We did go out pre-baby. But we have a little one now and I had some issues with the baby that I feel too scared to leave her alone with anyone else yet. So the wedding is the only time I see us leaving the baby briefly this year (it's a no kids wedding and he is the best man so we have to go to this one).

Depends on the type of wedding, I don’t think it’s too fleshy, but the white is too white.

Sorry OP, It is a beautiful dress but I think it is too ‘bridal party’ to wear for a wedding.

I'm not even remotely religious, but a backless plunging dress in a church is so inappropriate whatever the weather. I'm genuinely a bit shocked, and I'm not a pearl-clutching busybody honestly - it's just not suitable for a place of worship?? Also yes, in January that must have been excruciatingly miserable for her. However amazing a person feels wearing a particular outfit, if the experience is that miserable then it can't be worth it just for some glam photos on social media surely?

I’d be paranoid all day about getting something on the skirt. It is, as pp said, very ‘Oscars’. Totally backless, too.

I’ve been looking for a wedding guest outfit, I’ve got a couple of floral dresses. It is a dilemma to find the balance of not too showy.

Also firmly in the "no" camp.
Surprised some people are saying yes though.
I haven't been to a wedding in a while but do women (who aren't a bride or bridesmaid) wear floor length evening dresses to weddings now?

I don't think its wedding guest suitable.

I'd have a look on vinted and choose something else . Save that dress for another occasion

Its not suitable.

i get its annoying not to have anywhere to wear a nice dress (I personally think its a weird hard to wear dress as the colours limit it to black tie/the opera) but really candidly....

Anyone who has given birth and feels good and confident in THAT deeply unforgiving dress is going to have zero problems finding something else that looks nice enough.

I'm very relaxed about these things, snd people wearing black and white, but it looks like a wedding dress. Why did someone buy this for you? It's an odd choice, it's lovely but difficult to wear.

You can’t wear it to the wedding but ask your DH to take you on a cocktail date so you can wear it

You can’t wear that to a
wedding. You need to
find another occasion to wear it.

It’s a beautiful dress but absolutely not for a wedding. Too much white and too much skin on show. I know this isn’t what you want to hear and I hope you find something you feel equally lovely in. Also, perhaps see if you can organise a posh night out with your husband so you can wear it, particularly before the next baby comes along.

No definitely do not wear this to a wedding, it is beautiful but not to attend someone else’s wedding in
