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.

It’s a No OP and a massive one too! The design and also the white.

Some weddings do seem to have morphed into glam/cocktail party attire but if the one you’re attending hasn’t, you’ll look very inappropriately dressed.

also for some reason it looks to me like a dress that would be worn by an actress appearing in a live action remake of Cluedo - the shape of it looks like the little Cluedo pieces!

If you wear this, just be prepared for everyone to be gossiping about you! This is nowhere near wedding guest attire. I'm surprised you can't see that.

No, especially given that your husband is best man. Very attention-seeking. (Though I’m sure it would be lovely for the right occasion).
Anyway you’d freeze.

I’m impressed your husband has such high standards.

Beautiful dress and lovely that you feel great in it but totally unsuitable for a wedding.

I understand you don’t want to leave your baby yet, but you are prepared to do that for the wedding, so there’s no reason why you couldn’t leave the baby for a couple of hours while you and your husband go out somewhere you can wear the dress.

Wear with a jacket for the day and then you can take the jacket off for the evening reception.

Wow I have no idea where other people go for date nights but I have literally never gone or could afford to go anywhere that requires a satin floor-length dress. A white tie ball? Are you all serious, you’d wear it on a date night?’

A dressy wedding would be the only place I could wear it and buying another dress because of a white skirt seems a bit insane. The only person whose opinion matters here is the bride’s. OP should just ask her.

I'm with everyone else, it's a no, to be it looks like an alternative style wedding dress
It also seems an on item to gift someone that doesn't go out anywhere, I can't think of anyone in my family and friends circle that would give a dress like this as a gift. It's something I'd expect a partner to gift alongside fancy tickets to a red carpet premiere

No, definitely not.

No that big block of white is too much white.
on the flesh front that might be ok at a beach wedding but not a UK church one, and even if abroad on a beach again there’s too much white.

I’m sad you feel you won’t be able to go out ALL year. It’s really ok to leave a baby with a family member or trusted babysitter.

And if you feel like you can’t leave the house without your baby ….. well you are going to have to throw a fancy party so you can wear this dress!

Tbh, I'm surprised you need to ask - wearing white to someone else's wedding has long been something that respectful guests just don't do.

It's a gorgeous dress - to be worn in all its glory, not covered up to make it appropriate. Enjoy it as it is but at the right occasion. All the blazers and necklaces in the world won't hide that skirt - people will talk about you (not in a good way). If you are going to leave your baby (reluctantly), then you don't want to ruin your night out with having to contend with gossip and side eye.

Sorry but the wedding is the bride and groom's day. It's not about you being " stunning". Totally unsuitable dress imo .

Sorry but I think it looks like a nightie. It’s not the right sort of dress for a wedding, however good it makes you feel. It’s not appropriate as there’s far too much skin on show, and not the right colour either.

Isnt it a bit daft your MIL buying you a dress like that when you will never get to wear it anywhere? Maybe she is hinting that she will babysit so you can go on a date night?

I’m no MIL basher at all, but am I the only one who thinks it’s highly cheeky to gift someone a fancy occasion dress who’s lifestyle isn’t giving ‘fancy occasions’ in a size 8 postpartum! When currently a size 14.

It feels a bit of a summons to get your body back into shape to be very glamorous arm candy again to her son, not a true gift.

Assuming your husband doesn't usually 'forbid' you from wearing things in your day to day life, if this is a rare occasion where he has a strong opinion then I wouldn't wear it since it is his best friend's wedding.

Mostly white and slashed almost to the navel...no.

But if you can look great in a dress this difficult to wear (and I'm sure you do) then there will be no shortage of other beautiful dresses that you look wonderful in.

I mean, I wasn’t being serious 😂

It would be fine if it was a different colour. Too much solid white for the skirt, that part looks too bridal.

The bride is the star not you.

No. Also a I’m not convinced this isn’t a joke post , no one would actually wear this to someone else’s wedding …

This with bells on. It’s not wedding wear but huge congrats on being able to rock this, pre-baby or otherwise @MegsyLondon

I dont think thats a particularly attractive dress and unless you're a starlet from circa 2004 attending a red carpet event i have no idea where you would actually wear this

It’s both black and white, neither of which are great for a wedding. It’s pretty much a unanimous no so hopefully you’ll take that on board - I know the dress makes you feel comfortable but surely you’ll feel far less so knowing everyone looking at you thinks it’s inappropriate?

Bit of a thoughtless gift if MIL knows it’s the wrong size and you won’t leave the baby. But, you’re leaving the baby for the wedding so once that’s happened successfully, DH can take you somewhere else lovely to wear the dress. Get planning! :)

No, you absolutely cannot wear that to someone else's wedding.

It is a dress meant to draw attention to you ("commanding" per the website), and that's before we even get into the fact that it's mostly white and long and why to deep cut.
