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.

No, too much white.

For those saying yes do you really wear such revealing, backless dresses to a wedding?

Why on earth would you even think that would be suitable for a wedding! Are you hoping to upstage the bride, be the centre of attention?!

I'm surprised you'd think this would be suitable for a wedding 🤔

Sorry I don’t think so either, if it was different colours then I actually don’t think the revealing nature is a big problem (but in February you’d be freezing?!).

Tell DH you want to be taken to the races or a fancy do for you to wear that, then buy something else for the wedding.

I love the dress but it is absolutely inappropriate for a wedding, sorry @MegsyLondon .

It's really inappropriate for a wedding.

You would wear a backless dress slashed to the navel into a church?

The cut, colour and fabric of the skirt may as well be a wedding gown. Absolute no.

No, totally unsuitable for a wedding!

NO, absolutely not. Too white and too revealing during the day. And still too white as even in wear.

Couldn’t you and your DH go on a fancy date night? So you’ll have some other opportunity to wear this to?

In the UK, in February?!
It's just completely inappropriate on every level.

But, as others have said, someone that would look good in that dress isn't going to struggle to find something to wear.

It’s part negligee part wedding dress so that’s a no on both counts.

I think you just need to find something to wear it to. Buy tickets to a charity ball.

Absolutely not suitable for a wedding!

Save it for the appropriate occasion.

Absolutely no. It's very attention grabbing and I would see it as you chose to wear it to snub the bride for not choosing you as a bridesmaid and you wanting to upstage her. Everyone would be talking about the women wearing the revealing dress with white and asking who does she thinks she is.

You say this was a nice gift from MIL but I personally don't see it. You say you have no where else to wear it and don't plan on going out, so to me it's a waste and seems an odd choice of present from her knowing this. Something you would use every day may be less gorgeous and showy but more practical and useful.

Agree. Not at all appropriate for a wedding.

I'm afraid I agree with the "no"s.

If you wore it, you'd be drawing attention to yourself for all the wrong reasons because, even if you see no harm in it and want to wear it, you're going to be in a room full people who will ge looking at you and thinking everything you've read expressed here.

I don't think its fair to ask the bride...puts her in a difficult position if she isn't comfortable with this choice of dress for a guest at her wedding

Op has had many, many posts from people saying its inappropriate for a wedding, not just based on the colour but style as well.

I'd take that as confirmation that its not right for this occasion and choose something else. You can pick up nice occasion dresses on vinted pretty cheap (I got one for £5 including postage) so there is options to find something to feel confident in that is "safer" as a wedding guest

Please don’t message the bride and ask her. It then puts her in an awkward position where she might feel she has to say it’s fine or she’ll look like a bridezilla. The bride and groom might not even notice but you can bet the rest of the guests will be commenting.

Get something else!

Well it's a sexy dress, realistically design to attract attention. Guest are not supposed to seek more attention then the bride and groom so you could find yourself very much upsetting her.

Saying that, it totally depends on the bride. My naturally sexy sister came with extremely tight black leather teasers and very high heels red shoes. She was gorgeous! It didn't bother me at all. It made me smile. It's her and I'm not the type to want all the attention drawn on me, so it was absolutely fine.

Definite no for the wedding, regardless of how you feel or only one night without the baby this year etc, it’s not your wedding. I’d make a real effort to get a babysitter for a different evening this year and wear it for a date night

This made me laugh out loud!

The husband is being kind and tactful but as the best man I think he has the right to expect his wife to wear something appropriate. It's disrespectful on what is an important day for him to have half the guests whispering "WTF?"

Absolutely not.

Even if this were in another colour it still looks awful on the model.

This really feels like a wind-up or a reverse. In the unlikely event that it’s genuine: no, that dress is not appropriate for a wedding.

No!
